Been parked since Friday cause I I'm sick. Got woken up by pilot employees to this.

I had food poisoning on the road once. Started carrying a bottle of 200 Imodium just in case it ever happens again. And Fuck pilot, they’re doing that shit at all of their facilities.

I took immodium once. Once.

It took me three days to shit. I needed to shit and could not. Was over a week before I shat right again.

I will never touch immodium again lol

Dude. I hit every rest area on the Pennsylvania Turnpike, shit my brains out, bought a box of Imodium and ate the entire box and a half hour later I was at the next rest area shitting my brains out again. It finally stopped somewhere in Ohio, but I was still getting stomach cramps all the way to Illinois.

Yeah I had the flu, and was pissing out of my ass constantly. 1 single dose of immodium took me from that to damn near stroking out from the strain after 3 days of not shitting and needing to, badly.

Normally im a once or twice a day shitter. I aint never in my life been a once a week shitter lol.

Im too afraid to ever touch the stuff again.

I’m usually once a day unless I get Pilot wings with hot sauce. Then I might be half a dozen before things settle down.

From what I'm reading it's for the guys who refill the fuel pumps yea I usually see them parked off to the side but if that's what pilot or whomever wants to use that spot for let them have at it.its their property.i read some other comments and I do see that they are converting more spots to pay to park .but no one is increasing free parking spots on east coast.i feel everyone has they hands in the drivers pockets, putting on more restrictions and demanding more when we are doing the most of the work and sacrificing the most and risking the most and feel we are asking too much wanting more pay.ok rant over!

Well, at least it aint a pay to park spot and then they start asking for money

SaltAndBitter@reddit

It's not even a paid spot... they're set aside for the bomb jockeys. It says as much in the markings on the pavement

Trained a guy a few years back while I was violently ill for like 3 days. Company said they had to get him rolling asap. Standing in the sun while I spotted his backing was brutal lol

[-]

HatedReaper@reddit (OP)

Damn, hopefully you got every penny back from that company

[-]

opinionated_penguin@reddit

Nah, they were cool about. Was my call in the end. Trainee had been holed up in a motel waiting for like 5 days at that point so I said fuggit

delawder29@reddit

Honestly it's just a money grab. I think it's a bunch of bullshit how these truck stops are starting to convert paid to parking. I think I managed to park on a reserved spot four times in 10 years and that's it. Everywhere else was at the customer, rest area, or terminal.

[-]

Radiant_Swan187@reddit

Strange. Didn't know they made so much money off letting their own trucks park in their own parking lot for free.

[-]

HatedReaper@reddit (OP)

Wanna know the crazy thing? The reserved parking was behind my truck, I'm in the shitty spot!
