{"text":"I know this gets brought up a lot but it is getting so bad and I honestly hate it I am waiting to fuel up at a Love's truck stop the guy that I'm behind off was not even pumping fuel I waited and waited for about 10 minutes then he comes out with this stupid soda drink then he proceeds to start putting his information in to fuel up the truck that was next to him what's a team driving truck they were also not fueling up at the time they were stretching next next to their truck they seen that I was waiting for fuel and they also proceeded to go inside the truck stop they came back out and move their truck forward so I went to their pump I filled up 176 gallons of diesel and about $35 worth of d e f after I was done fueling they were still sitting there so I put my truck in reverse to get out of that truck stop to let the next guy in I know it's never going to get better and it's just going to end up getting worse but what I really don't understand is why Why do drivers like this get let in are companies really that desperate that they're willing to take anything to come-thru those doors ","videos":"[]","link":"{}","pics":"[]","canComment":true}

They have the power to start putting up signs telling drivers to “Fuel Up N’ Pull Up!” Fuel, Wipe Windows, Air tires, and pull up. And have yellow writing on the ground in each lane saying Maximum 15 minute time limit. And signs that say “No blocking fuel lanes, No parking at pumps, No 30 breaks at or in front of pumps.” And start enforcing it with sensory technology and put up annoying LCD screens playing video or speakers playing audio playing some lighthearted music in the background and a friendly elderly male voice saying something that hits home with drivers to make us feel validated like “No one works harder than a trucker,” or “Truckers make the world go ‘round...let’s help keep each other rollin by remembering to be courteous to your fellow drivers and not to park or take your 30 minute break at or in front of the pumps. Take advantage of our spacious parking or find a safe and legal place nearby before leaving your rig unattended.” You’re welcome to “Fuel Up ‘N’ Pull Up,” but please keep it to 15 minutes or less so we can all keep moving. When we work together, everybody wins. Thank you to all our drivers, and be safe...” music fades out. You can choose to mute it, which everyone will, and everyone will complain about it at first, but that’s change for ya. "}
