So as this is happening, he looks up and immediately catches my eye. I think anyone can guess what he must have been looking at on the computer screen.
The bottom 60%, including what I presume was a very unimpressive central section, was obscured by his dashboard. Thankfully, all I can see is about the top 40% of the entire scene. At nighttime, when it's pitch black outside. There, in the sleeper berth, I see an obese, pale-skinned, middle-aged man with glasses, laying on his side on his bed with his head propped up on his arm, staring at a laptop computer screen. It takes my mind a moment to realize what I'm seeing, but when I finally do, I almost start gagging. Then, as I turn my head and roll down my window in preparation for the backup, I see it. Nice and easy.Īs I pull past the spot and come to a stop so I can start backing up, my tractor comes to rest in front of a parked truck with the sleeper light on. It's not that busy out here so I see 3 open spots next to each other and decide I'm going for the middle one.
Anyway, I'm driving along the lane, hugging the left side as I go and scanning the aisle for my chosen spot. Grand Junction, CO in case anyone's wondering. So it's around 7:30pm and I'm pulling into a Love's parking area. Ok so I just have to get this off my chest, probably one of the grosser things I've seen out here.
