Truck Stop Etiquette
Topic 13173 | Page 5
Agree, I usually spend my nights at consignee or try to find a rest area but if I do choose a ts it's because I have access to the facilities.
How about walking to the restroom inside, instead of soaking your favorite drive tire cuz you are way too lazy to walk the 1/16 mile?! Nothing like getting out of your truck and your nose is blasted the sweet smell of urine mixed with the heat. And no one wants to pick up your urine bombs!
Consignee:
The customer the freight is being delivered to. Also referred to as "the receiver". The shipper is the customer that is shipping the goods, the consignee is the customer receiving the goods.
OOS:
When a violation by either a driver or company is confirmed, an out-of-service order removes either the driver or the vehicle from the roadway until the violation is corrected.
Pretty much the same, use the trash bins, turn off your headlights, don't **** in the parking lot....just try to to be quiet and respectful of other drivers & 4 wheelers
What are some of the polite things to do when you stop at a rest area for the night? that way i won't upset anyone when i start driving
If you're in line for fuel DON'T get out and leave your truck to go in the store.

There was a guy the other night who did that. He left enough room that I was able to snake my truck around him and get to the pump. He came back out and looked at my truck with s puzzled look on his face.
My lane opened at the same time but when I got out to fuel I noticed his truck never move, few minutes later I see him come out with food from Chesters

If i happen to pull in right behind someone who has just began to fuel and i REALLY have to go to the ladies room, you bet im gonna park and do that, but i will hurry right back to pull up or wake my codriver to pull up for me. Of course if theyre already fueling or getting their receipt, ill wait.
We did have someone pull up right behind us the other night.. When every fuel lane was open but ours (we were changing drivers). My codriver out of spite sat their and ate etc before moving because really.. Why pull behind us at the farthest fuel island when all the others were empty unless he was just trying to be an @$$.
Well at least you go inside to pee...Hehe

Yeah, I don't understand that choice. Really? Go in an open lane!
They're trying to take their 30 minute break... chaps my... well, I don't appreciate it when they do this.
