Would you turn in an idiot driver?

Unfortunatly the newer drivers ran out of class along time ago. I would send an e-mail to his company via their web site. I wouldn't tell them the whole story I would just tell them how he confronted you and your wife and that you didn't appreciate their company hiring potentially dangerous drivers to drive there trucks. Give them the truck number and leave it at that. Most company's unless they've had other reports won't do anything about it so there no sense in making a big stink about it. You'll will probably have more encounters just like that. Another thing that I never do is park in the back of a truck stop. Stay away from that area if it all possible, you will find you will be safer and have a better rest.;)

But I enjoy party row. :rolleyes: That is one thing I have really enjoyed while being in the van. I have only been bothered by 2 people in 6 months.

I was in St. Paul at Stockmens Truck stop

Oh, I missed this point at first...

Jeffman and I pulled into Stockmen's back in late March. We parked and took about a half hour to assess the surroundings. What we saw in that time: 3 different raggedy vehicles pulled into the semi area, parked in front of trucks, and from them emerged skimpily clad (remember, March in Minnesota) overly made-up women, and of course they entered the trucks they were parked in front of. In the front lot, we saw a woman with over-processed bleached blonde hair, mini skirt and scads of cheap jewelry going from man to man out in the lot and "chatting".

We decided to leave Stockmen's and slept in a WalMart parking lot that night.

Maybe the environment attracts this type? Still, headlights in someone's window for a few minutes in a truckstop is not to be unexpected. Heck, if it doesn't happen now and again, then something is wrong.

Maybe HE had a Lot Lizard in there and was afraid of being busted?
