i have to agree. That was the dumbest post i have ever seen on here. Well, at least now i know who is speeding through the t/s.

What a stupid post!!!!

Toothpick sounds like he is 16 yrs old and has six months experience.

I agree with WindWalker. I am also one of those drivers who do 3 mph in the TruckStop. There are so many pedestrians walking around, suddenly appearing from between two trucks, and sometimes there are children running around between trucks!!!!

I would rather go slow then run someone over.

Well, I may be one of the ones that you don't like. Not sure just want you think of as slow, but I've seen 3 accidents in the truck stop lot. One truck RACING through the lot to get to a parking place, and another leaving the lot. They meet at the end of the row of trucks and collided. Both going TOO FAST TO STOP IN TIME.

In another case, one truck was backing into a spot and the other JUST HAD TO GET THROUGH BEHIND him. The guy backing hit the other trailer just behind the middle, and the guy RACING through the lot got his entire frame for the rear doors taken off the trailer. It and the back doors were hanging from the left side of the trailer. I don't feel the least bit sorry for the STUPID IDIOTS that must see how fast they can get their trucks to move between two rows of trucks. If speed is that important to them, they belong on a race track, not in a truck stop. In a truck stop, it's called COURTESY AND SAFETY. If you can not see that aspect of it, GET OUT OF A TRUCK.

You put it waaay better than I did.

I had a friend.
He had the same thought like you Toothpick.
Now he is in JAIL.
He cant stop his 80000 lbs truck and passed over a pedestrian in a Truck Stop.

THINK SAFE.
DRIVE SAFE.
And if it is possible, PRESERVE THE NATURE.

I think the reason why some drivers go excessively slow in truckstops, ramps and approaching weighstations- including going below the posted 'maintain 30mph' sign is because a lot of drivers spends so much time on the interstate without stopping or slowing down that it is a welcome change to the turbowhistle...some are just incapable and some are just putting on their shoes while rolling through the lot :lol:

Actually...I was bored as hell, sitting, waiting, and trying to kill time. No one was posting anything I was interested in so I decided to see if I could stir up the board. It worked too from what I see, but almost as soon as I posted it I got busy sort of unexpectedly. Anyway...I hope I didn't piss anyone off. It was meant to be a joke all in fun, and I stole the ideas from another driver that is always constantly making us laugh! :lol:

I was one of the drivers that was a 3 mph in the t/s parking lot for the simple reason every night I go to bed knowing what it feels like to have had a FATAL accident. Do not bitch and moan at those of us who take it slow and easy in the truckstops because we are taking it slow looking out for A&&#0LES like you.

I don,t go into truckstops anymore; They,re always full of drivers arguing about their respective speeds passing through.
Pulling hair, biting and scratching
God.. its awful :shock: :lol:
