Default truckstop trash (garbage wise)

i cannot tell you how many times i have seen someone pitch trash out of their truck right onto the parking lot. and pouring out p bottles on the ground. not cool. the effects people leave behind are not good either. it costs money for someone else to pick it up, which causes the in store prices to go up, as is pollutes the environment that we have to live in every day. just a few extra steps to that trash can, or a quick walk into the rest room, would actually improve our image to the public. think about it

do you agree ?

Some of the busy Truckstops,have the smell if Piss in the Parking Lot ,Disgusting!!! I'm not a hugh fan of doing a real thorough Pre-trip @ a truckstop,crawling around the truck in some of these places will gag, ya......... The dumping of trash is part of the reason,in some cases, Big Trucks are not welcome at certain establishments(Wal-Mart).....

Not many truck slops clean their Truck parking areas when at all and for ONE very good reason:
TOO MANY LAZY, USELESS, CARELESS CHILDREN DRIVING TRUCKS!!

WHY clean a truck stop when after or during the cleaning process there are drivers that WILL toss trash about the property as if it isn't their responsibility to properly dispose of it??
The It isn't MY problem attitude is what has defined Trucking as one of THE most disgusting professions worldwide.
What's even worse than the trashy truckslops are the drivers that don't care if another person is walking between trucks and will toss whatever out the window of their trashy trucks whether this trash be a solid or liquid.
I maintain an ever vigilant approach to walking between trucks in that I check the windows for their being open or closed AND I look into the mirrors to see if anyone is present in a seat.

MOST truck SLOPS are nasty the further one gets from ANY building and the accumulation of TRASH is ever present. Why therefore bother cleaning it up when in a mere two days or less the accumulation will be about 1/2 of what it was before cleaning??
ANY flying j and t. a. for proof. Peelot is as well no help, nor are most Petro SLOPS.

Also there are the truck SLOPS that have the TRASH receptacles available yet fail miserably to clean them out or even remember they're there.
FULL TRASH receptacles do not apply a sense of good or decent health of any truck SLOP and only ADD to the dismal character OF the truck SLOP.
---
What I really like seeing are the LAZY SLOBS that empty their Coolers on the Fuel Island whether before, at or after the Fuel Pumps. These are THE epitome of classy drivers and should be rewarded for their consistent affirmations and help for/to other drivers.
Let's all give them a big hand (to the back of their heads with a blunt object).
THANK YOU so much for helping as you ARE what has turned the general publics' view of Trucking into what it has become!!

I take my dog with me on occasion and I hate walking him at truckstops, truckstops are the filthiest and nastiest places here in the U.S. I never realized just how much trash there was littered around a truckstop. I always use the trash cans, and I also use a sh#t mitt when my dog takes a dump.

But dumping out my water in my cooler? What is so bad about that? I'm guilty there.
