Yesterday (thurs) morning as I headed towards Scranton PA on I-80 I stopped at the TA in Columbia NJ to fill the jolly old tanks up. First thing I see as I drive in is a J B Hunt driver backing off pump 3 because some git has just abandoned his truck after filling up as seems the norm. I selected a tanker driver on pump 5 to wait behind, thinking he may get a move on and he did. … Filled up. pulled forward to let me on. I filled up and before getting in the cab he was driving off (good guy) A removal truck pulled up behind me as I filled up and I soon finished filling and pulled forward for the poor guy, then stepped inside for the reciept and a coffee, the removal truck driver followed me, went to the fuel desk and got his card cleared to fill up, did he go out and fill up ? … NO ! he went to the diner for a meal, the thoughtless sod. I got my coffee and went back to my truck, the removal truck was just sitting there occupying pump 5 as the driver stuffed his fat gut.
Today as I called at the Pilot in Newburgh NY all pumps were occupied and I chose to wait behind a CFI truck at pump 17. 20 minutes went by and not a drop of fuel did he pump but walked back wiith a hand full of supplies and a coffee, by this time I was out of my cab standing there very angry “Are you gonna buy some fuel ?” I asked “Because I have been waiting for 20 minutes”
“F*** off, I’ll go when I am ready” said the nasty street gang type kid with his jeans bellow his buttocks.
“Ok bud, got your truck number I just call CFI shall I” I just got the middle finger for that remark and 6 minutes later he started his truck amd moved forward but left the back 6 feet of the trailer on the fuel island just to annoy me … he succeded
I sounded the horn and got the finger again before he went… I will be calling his company, the little gut deserves it.
No consideration for other drivers what so ever. Winds me up when this happens I wouldnt dream of going in and drinking my coffee let alone going for dinner whilst on the pumps> Park in a space and drag their fat ■■■ over lazy sods
aye. had that one night at swift current husky…Lcvs using out side pump to fuel so pulled in behind a truck and waited and waited got out no one at pump ,thought ok must have needed the can bad and waited …after realising what was going on and now blocked in .

Total retards. I will kill one of them at some point.
CFI…Complete…[zb]ing…Idiots
Problem over here to not just trucks either. Where so many petrol stations have a tesco express or whatever attached loads of people fill the car up browse the magazines do a weeks shopping and take a dump before coming out to move the car.
Yeah we know the ones…just getting 15mins on the pump…grrrrr!
