Striping question??

Quick question. We have 4 districts of traval plazas (truck stops). Have been fighting them for the last two years. Our problems is in the back truck lot, the semis are parked, sometimes drivers in the trucks sometimes not. In busy lots, like in Dallas, we had to move every other truck out of their spaces to stripe. You are looking at 300 trucks. Not fun! Is there any type of equipment, striper or whatever that you would be able to go between the trucks and stripe without moving them. Something like a Titan side striper but that is self contained? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Our first district starts in April and would sure like to find something to solve this headache. Tired of being screamed at by truck drivers!

We've got about half a dozen or so that we do each quarter. I learned really quick, that you're better off doing the truck lots in the daylight (midmorning to afternoon). Of course the front side "regular customer" parking/gas station area is easier overnight. I actually have one "truck area" that I do at night because it has fire lanes, and once the parking fills up, it kinda protects the fire lane. Plus the stalls are like 12' wide so I can squeeze between them, if they all park right. I have only had a few a##holes in the last couple years, who really gave me any problems about moving. My biggest complaint is the filth in between the trucks(and everywhere else). Everything... urine, spilt coffee, soft drinks, food scraps, manure, gravel...you name it. All mixed with the condensation, oil, grease, etc. from the trucks. It's a NASTY job, but somebody's gotta do it. I'd have to say, everything I've heard about the sidewinder, you better off having the truckers move. Also, you'd have to add another section of hose to go the 75 to 80 feet between the trucks. Like any striping job, the key is finding the best time to do the job. That's just my opinion, based on my experience. Good luck and don't forget you're safety vest!

Safety is a major concern as dbarnettt said. A few years back we were painting a huge Home Depot Distribution center. The Yard Jockeys were moving the trailers around so we could paint them. No sooner did I get of my line driver than a Jockey came around the corner at mac 3 and flattened my machine. 20 seconds earlier I would have been crushed as well. She denied running it over but the bright yellow paint all over the truck was a dead giveaway. I Had to fight the company for 2 months to get it paid for. They had the nerve to ask me if my insurance would cover it. Plus they wanted me to finish the job that day. I have some pictures around here somewhere. That 3900 and linedirver were retired to the scrap yard. Surprisingly enough, the light still worked. Anyway, my point being is watch out for yourself.
