The DOT worker was emptying trash bins when I pulled in, he went over to the van after it was running. I have no idea the rest of the story as I was only there for 8 or 9 minutes to potty. Any way you look at it I think he should have dropped the trailer or found someone else to jump the van assuming they were his jumper cables.
I'm not sure whose jumper cables they are. I don't think they belong to the trucker, but I could be wrong. I was just having a bit of fun with my first two comments. I see in your MIRROR that there was already a truck parked along the outer curb in the CAR area. I also noticed in your pics that the spaces being blocked by the "helper" trucker were HANDICAP spots! He's lucky he didn't get a ticket! :lol: When I FIRST saw the title of your thread, and looked at the pictures without my "legal eye" on... I just thought the dude was SO tired, that he just pulled in there and "parked" the nose of his tractor to get some sleep! I've SEEN such things before. SOME truckers push their HOS limits AND their physical limits too far. I really hate to see that. THIS driver was probably just trying to do the right thing... be a "highway hero" and it wasn't the smartest thing he ever did. But, who knows.... he might be a fine and safe driver.
