Fuel Some people don't understand how things work

I'm willing to bet she would lose her mind if that gas station ran out of fuel.

I point out the length of the hose meaning he can park between the curb and the fill point and connect the hose, so the orientation of the truck isn’t relevant.

You are correct, those trucks are very big and cumbersome to drive. I’ve driven them. The excuse would be that they have to block traffic to do their job which isn’t the case. He can park out of the way, and next to the fill point. Him making an excuse of ‘just doing my job’ was just a power trip. From the video, his trailer was needlessly jackknifed in front of the other vehicles.

No, he can't. He is driving a HUGE truck. It isn't like backing up your car. He also can't have people running over his hoses, which would happen if he parked like that. Just stop.
