Let me put give this a different spin. When I was running the big road with MY trucks I looked at it different than most company drivers. If there was a accident in the parking lot while sleeping I paid the bill. Most owner operators have a high detectable to keep their premiums down. I also always had a long nose truck with lots of chrome and chicken lights. These things cost big money to repair. Human nature makes most truckers want to park close to the entrance so they don't have to walk. The least amount of traffic is out back. If you back into a hole between two trucks that are down for the night your hood is fairly safe. Last place you want to park is where trucks are backing in, then pulling out in a little while. Each time there is a chance of getting backed into, or getting scraped by someone pulling out and turning to soon. Now consider all the new drivers with limited experience, then add to that they may be sleepy. Most times I would look for a spot out back and next to someone who looks like they are down for the night. I would then PULL in, not back, to protect my tractor. A motor home most times is driven by someone on vacation, or sight seeing. Most times they don't want to be out in the dark. This makes you a safe place to park next to. And a quiet neighbor. No refer unit starting and stopping every little while. This is just another way to look at it. Keep writing your posts please. Some of us really enjoy reading your adventures.

Today's Featured Article - A Cautionary Tale - by Ian Minshull. In the early 1950s my father bought an Allis Chalmers B and I used it for all the row crop work with the mangolds and potatoes, rolling and the haymaking on our farm. The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
