Pulling Straight In At Truck Stops

I was driving home today from the Fargo ND area back to St Paul today, and happened to see a Swift tractor trailer at a truck stop that pulled straight in. Was just curious if anybody knows why in the hell a driver would do that (all other trucks were backed in, no possible way he could go forward in the position). I havent attended school yet so I'm not familiar backing of anything else related to driving a truck, but that just struck me as very odd, and dangerous. Has anyone here ever done thay, where you'd have to back out of a spot at a truckstop, and why did you do that over backing in.

Some or too tired or too lazy to back in. So they just pull in... I've had to pull in a spot once but that was cuz the pilot was too small to back in... The pilot is on i81 in Roanoke va across from that TA that closed

I've also noticed alot of times if someone has to park between 2 reefers they will pull in so they don't have to hear Em running all night.

that is the reason i hear most. i just got a 2016 KW its super quite on the inside so i do not care whats running next to me for the most part.

Most of time when I see trucks parked like that, they are at the end of the lane so they can just back straight out and proceed out. They were probably tired and just saving time.

They either are very bad at backing and don't trust their abilities.

Too tired to back in.

Don't want to hear a reefer or idling engine.

Just want to go against the grain.

At an idleair location and are using the idleair terminal.

I refuse to pull strait in. I used to drive truck's in downtown San Francisco and learned NEVER to pull into a stop off the street and have to back blindly out. You always back in when you have a better view of the vehicles around you. Backing out of a space in the truck stop is just begging for trouble. Way too many impatient drivers will see the backing trailer and gun it to get by before they pull out. Now you have two dangers. A driver backing blind and another speeding in the lot.
