It's to bad they weren't giving you miles enough to make a living. Hopefully you will find a better home.
As for the "Wait Times" at the pumps, I have noticed that it is becoming popular for the "Newbies", especially the non-english speaking newbies, to leave their trucks either sitting at the pump, or sitting in the pull out spot, while they go inside to eat, take their shower or in general FO.
A little over 2 weeks ago, I watched as a tow truck hooked on to one of those trucks and pulled it off a lot. I was fueled, parked at idleair & hooked up to it, then standing inside waiting for a shower, when this guy comes in and starts screaming at the desk clerk that his truck had been stolen. The clerk asked where the truck had been parked, and the guy told her right outside the door...he left it sitting there, right in front of the third fuel lane, while he ran across the street for dinner.
Served him right to get the damn thing towed. I can understand not wanting to eat at Arby's...I do not understand ignorance.
