Narrative:

Upon taxi into the north ramp; a fuel truck was traveling across the ramp; from our right to left while we were moving with the taxi light on. It appeared that the driver did not even look; and was cutting across the vehicle service road.furthermore; upon taxiing into [our spot]; the initial marshaller was standing very far off of the centerline I was taxiing on. He was almost in the safety area of the parking spot instead of the taxi centerline where he should have been. He was also standing far too close for me to properly overshoot the turn into my spot. I had to come almost to a complete stop to wait for him to back up. Meanwhile the marshaller I was handed off to was signaling for me to turn in far too early. I ended up having to turn earlier than I would have liked; because the first marshaller would have ended up too close to the right engine as we made the left turn into parking. There were aircraft parked on either side of us as well; making it more critical to properly overshoot. With the assistance of the first officer (first officer); we verified we were clear; and turned very slowly into the spot. This resulted in the need for thrust on the right engine; where the initial marshaller was standing closer than normal. For obvious reasons; this is a very unsafe situation. This is not the first time I have experienced non-standard marshaling in [this airport]. The fact that there are frequent issues with this is prompting me to begin to report every event (which I should have done in the first place) as this appears to be a systemic issue. I have made verbal reports to the [company] staff about this; but whether or not my concerns were addressed is unclear.finally; what is contributing to me making [reports] on these issues is the fact that one of the mechanics made a remark that this is 'business as usual' now with all of the new staff. The apparent lack of supervision and/or training is severely increasing the risk of aircraft damage; or worse; an injury.
