I emailed this company because I witnessed one of their drivers parked in the fuel island while they showered. I had thought until this point drivers doing this was just an tall tale and no professional driver would really be inconsiderate enough to do this but this driver proved some drivers are that thoughtless. The response I received was please let our drivers park in the fuel island. I responded that I was confused by the response. I then got an email stating they had already gotten an email from my company about this and it was inconsiderate for me to be sending pointless emails this late
