Truck Driver here...
Stopped in Wytheville, VA the other day to get fuel. Numerous RVs and Campers we're on the fuel island or in line to get fuel.
We understand that you guys need fuel too but there's a few courtesies that we should all follow at the fuel island, whether we are in a commercial vehicle or a recreational one.
1) Pull forward once you're finished fueling. We all have places that we are trying to get to but the government regulates truck drivers and the longer we have to sit waiting on a pump, the less time we have to do our jobs.
2) Please do not work on your rig on the fuel island.
and the one that made me post this here, because the rig was plastered with Fort stickers, tire covers, and Pioneer Mickey decals...
3) DO NOT HOOK UP TO THE WATER SUPPLY AT THE PILOT AND FILL YOUR FRESH WATER UP WHILE THERE'S 30 TRUCKS WAITING TO GET TO THE FUEL PUMP!!!
Sorry...needed to vent...took me 21 minutes to get fuel that day...
