- KHKenna HoyserNov 8, 20214.0We're feeling pretty bad right now! 😢 We're an elderly (75 & 79) couple and we were pulling a travel trailer late yesterday west on I-80. We were super exhausted after many miles. The lowering sun making seeing impossible, with 2 small, restless dogs. Busy freeway with lots of BIG trucks passing and swaying the trailer. We had been looking for a place to stop for the night for 100 mi. and were getting very worried. We can't drive at night. Hungry, thirsty, tired, irritatable, in pain..... Then, unbelievably, we ran out of gas 2 mi. west of Elko. My hubby NEVER runs out of gas! Story of our last several days! That put us stranded on a narrow, dangerous freeway shoulder. We called AAA and they would be there in 45. min. - after dark! Luckily a Trooper stopped, gave us a gal. and got us headed back to the Elko Sinclair. Got there in there in the dark, filled up and bought a bunch of stuff at the store. I asked if it would be ok if we parked for the night and was told yes, no problem. So, we tried to figure out where we would be out of the way. On hindsight I should have asked. But my brain was mush. It was a hard decisions, but probably the wrong one. But we finally backed into a truck spot as far back as possible. But I was uncomfortable about the decision all night and googled "Truck stop etiquette " this morning and found out we were wrong. I had caved to being ignorant, too tired to think well and a hubby getting more irritable by the minute. But I know now. But this am I went in and bought coffee, food and a bunch of other stuff. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. I thanked them for letting us park here and hoped we didn't cause any problems. Immediately the "friendly" was turned off and I got the cold shoulder. It really made me feel bad and was the reason I Googled. I am truly sorry and was so thankful for a safe place to park but but I hope Sinclair can adopt a little more positive way to deal with this situation. Its got to be common. For one thing, be up front with directions on where to park to not interfere with trucks. We stop at Sinclair a lot. We probably don't spend as much in gas as the big trucks. But our little pickup holds 35 gal and at 8 mpg we are thankful for availability of Sinclairs. I apologize for the inconvenience we might have caused. Please, relay that to the staff.
