This is fn disgusting. Next time you want to complain about having to pay to park, or whine about Bucee's not wanting our business, look no further than the mirror and the fellow driver next to you. This is why. Absolutely no respect for others' property.

Have to agree with that statement....have a friend who is a trucker and every time I am around him he burps like a cow so loud out in public the people turn to look....and when ever he farts he raises his leg and does a pushing out grunt sound and makes a point to make it as loud as he can,

The guy is in his 50s and still acts like an uncivilized person.

Truckers are some of the nastiest people.

[-]

Hard-Coconut-@reddit

kwtransporter66@reddit

Hold the fuck on a minute.

Now I'm not defending pig truckers and some might have contributed to some of this. But does everyone see that ditch. Does it ever occur to some simple minded people that a vast majority of that trash just might have been blown there by the wind? Nobody ever saw trash being blown by the wind? Or trash being blown from over full trash cans at the fuel pumps, the lot or an uncovered dumpster? Anybody ever seen a garbage truck emptying a dumpster on a windy day? News flash, it doesn't always all go in the truck. How about regular motorist? Are they not capable of throwing trash out the windows? Are they not capable of contributing to overflowing garbage cans on the lot? How about other businesses in the area?

Stop just blaming this shit on truckers alone. There are many mitigating factors that could have contributed to this mess.

[-]

ChampionshipThin8916@reddit

Not excusing lazy, illegal dumping. But on the other hand, leaving trash on our trailers once done unloading should cause the receiver to incur steep fines. OSD is an annoyance, but if nothing was extra or rejected, there should be nothing other than load locks left on my trailer once unloaded.

My personal favorite are the guys who let their dog shit in the grass and don’t clean it up. When there’s a fucking dog park at the truck stop with actual dog shit bags and a trash can to throw them in. But they can’t be bothered to walk their lazy ass over there.

Few_Carpenter_9185@reddit

Bucee's doesn't want trucks because they did the math.

The the parking lot square foot per tractor-trailer, the 300 gallons of fuel per fill-up, and one driver buying a shower and something to eat, then sitting there for a few hours of OFF/1 & SB/2 on their ELD.

All compared to the math of the square footage of a car, minivan, or SUV, a 20 gallon fill-up, and often two or more passengers & even extra kids. Who buy food/snacks, some Chinese Bucee's merch, and then GTFO in 30 minutes to an hour.

Bucee's "hates truckers" because they make more money way faster off of passenger vehicles, that's all.

Trash, piss-jugs, abandoned pallets, lot lizards, or whatever else truckers might bring with them, those were distant second or third place considerations.

[-]

BigWhiteDog@reddit

Not a distant considerate really. All of that costs them money to clean up AND affects how the better paying customers see the place so I think it's all part of the same calculations.

[-]

Few_Carpenter_9185@reddit

I can't completely dismiss your argument, it's plausible.

However, I'd argue that the higher volume & turnover of non-Trucker & non-CDL customers could just as easily be even worse in terms of littering, vandalism, wear & tear on the facilities, etc.

But, if the trash like pallets & what appears to be partially abandoned loads, boxes & cartons in the OP's photo is a big issue, then yes, the entire trailer becomes a source of litter way bigger than a minivan.

I just haven't seen that before.

Natste1s4real@reddit

I had a terminal in Montreal and it was all paid parking. Anybody left a mess, they had to pay for the cleanup and would get a warning. There would be no second warning there would be a charge and they would be blocked from the yard.

We had major international trucking companies as tenants and any time they would send somebody from head office to settle complaints from drivers, they would walk away apologizing. Drivers (I was one for 35 years) need to be held accountable and any company that doesn’t hold them accountable, is not worth doing business with.

[-]

Captain_Wag@reddit

It's a vicious circle out here. Truck stops charge you $50 for a bag of jerky and $20 just to park there. Not to mention the $1,000 you just spent fueling up. Between that and being forced to use porta a pottys at most pickup/dropoffs some drivers start acting like the animals the world treats them as.

I just left Fuelmaster in Cambridge City, IN and I wish I got a picture of all the pallets and containers full of broccoli that somebody threw in the grass. I ain’t even mad about having to pay to park in some places. There are a lot of disgusting and pathetic people out here.

[-]

aacawe@reddit

It’s the property owners duty to clean the property. At your house or your place of business when somebody leaves something on your front lawn or on the driveway to your business , do you expect other people to clean it up? No that’s on you as property owner.

These disgusting properties are found at paid and not paid lots. So even when you pay, it doesn’t make a difference because the property owner is not doing his job.

Add to that, all these companies are raking in record revenue year after year, and we Driver still have to put up with limited parking, disgusting bathrooms, gross showers with no hot water or moldy tile, broken pumps, no air hoses, closed or shitty restaurants, no variety of healthy eating options, no Wi-Fi….

Fuck all these dirty trucks stop lot owners.

I’ll never go OTR. If you have the ability to get your CDL on your own I’d highly recommend it. Local community colleges are the way to go. Most offer weekend or night courses. Find a school that trains in manuals so you don’t have a manual restriction. Start local and build your local network connections up. Networking and exposure is KEY.

[-]

Active-Blacksmith-41@reddit

No my comment is not AI. I went through a local community college here in Eastern NC back in June of 25. It was 8 weeks long. Finished in August on a Friday and had a job lined up with a mega flatbed carrier 3 days later. Went out with them OTR for a month. Hated every second of it. Sleeping at receivers was mandatory. No where to go to the bathroom, no where to shower, no where to get anything to eat, etc. The night that I was done I was in Johnson City, TN. Almost got sprayed by a skunk while walking 2 miles total to find a dollar store to try and take a deuce. Got a job lined up that weekend with a farm back home and never looked back. Got my X endorsement and now I’m running local hauling fertilizer trailers and doing flatbed deliveries to farms for chemicals.

I gave up on the “everyone else is the problem” guys years ago when I caught an old timer on cam throwing trash under my trailer. It took everything in me not to post it online. Between the piss bottles on the fuel island and poop bags thrown under trailers, to bs like this, I pay these complaining Jamies no mind. Most are just a reflection of this industry. Low tier. Mfs buying 6 packs at the pilot but to cheap to pay to park. It’s a pathetic ouroboros cycle.

Hell some of you American drivers probably know we have maybe 40 damn truck stops in the whole fucking country and its a big ass country at that 😅

This is one way to put my ebike and a bike trailer to use. Larger scale, just an old pickup and go from truck stop to truck stop picking up trash. Another poster here suggested this as a good hustle.

Hell, use it as a means to put both ex cons and ex drivers that are blacklisted to work.

Islanderwithwings@reddit

Looking at it in a positive way. This could be a good side hustle job or weekend job, cleaning the back of truck stops.

Contact the local waste management company and get a contract to do this.

A truck stop cleanup business. Or just a truck to truck cleaning business.

fusillijhericurl@reddit

The solution is to take photos of the mess and then complain on reddit.

[-]

Questionoid@reddit

That would actually be a solution, right? But even the corporate dickheads that I am tangled up with would pay to get a crew to clean up the shitshow IN THEIR OWN YARD on a monthly or even quarterly basis. They pay landscaping ONCE a year for cleanup. Same with city management, same with the county. Cunts, the whole lot of them.

[-]

MajorHymen@reddit

A smart business owner would look at this and see a solution rather than complain. Trash behind trucks where previously unloaded trailers get stuck with refused products or broken pallets the driver now has to deal with. A smart business owner would line this back property section with large dumpsters. The only thing that make take some thinking is how to do it while still making it easy to unload said dumpsters. If they own that small bit of land I’d remove all the grass level it out pave it so the dumpsters can roll to an area to be unloaded.

[-]

spartanantler@reddit

Truckers won’t even walk to a trash can 10 ft away

[-]

So, most will. Unless you suggest the solution be continue to complain and see if that does anything.

Paving and adding dumpsters cost thousands of dollars which they will finance it with paid parking.

I don’t see a problem. Any solution costs money and paid parking already exists at most truck stop with the last hold out really only being loves.

Questionoid@reddit

That just looks like somewhere in India or Pakistan. And trucking was never this, at this level. But, you become what you import in uncontrollable numbers, and then fail to police it. Seems like a self-inflicted societal wound right here. And on an individual level, it really sucks to be subjected to this, and see the decline. Never was I anti-trucker, but right now I think fuck truckers, fuck their companies, their institutions and fuck government that collects taxes for a problem they cant fix. Fuck this entire industry.
