Hey Drivers .... THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE!

Posted by firstblush73@reddit | Truckers | View on Reddit | 14 comments

Dear PTL driver in Indiana, Thank you! 🫶 Thank you for not being the typical 🐓🍭 that pulls in, ALLLLLL the way up to the driver on their right, pulls the brake, and shuts down. Safe travels, Helwig Driver to your left, in one of those rest areas that doesn't consider truhk dimensions when laying out parking spaces.

Driver side, pull-in, angle parking!!

I am on the end, up against a concrete divider. The starter truck (furthest left) has to set the spacing tone for everyone else, who is paying attention.

I can't see your left side driver. I wouldn't have commented as such if I did.

Reading my reply back, it reads as if I am being smart with you. Thats not what I meant to happen. I meant ... whoever is paying attention to other truck positions when they pull in. Not you!!! 😬 You took the time to read.my post, so of course youre paying attention! Stay safe out there! 🫡

Pull up to the shortest line. Not the longer line.

I already pull to the longer line like everyone else

No worries, I don't mind beating on doors at 2am lol

Stopping at the shorter line and your ass hangs out and people can't swing in beside you, so I'll knock on your door and ask you to move up

Thats not how that works. The longer line is the dude beside you's parking line. It's not yours.

Honestly, some rest areas are planned by people who have no idea about trucks. If you park like PTL at those rest areas, driver will not be able to park on the right because of your trailer.

I always walk back and check that someone can still get in next to me. That is, until the creative parking starts on the right of the backend of spaces. I do my part, for sure!

He just doesn’t want his bumper torn off.

So the other 85% of drivers dont care about their bumper? Kudos to the dude for at least having a forward thinking brain.
