    I have had some run in's with the RTA police while delivering food down town. We have stops on Euclid that are now undeliverable and we risk getting a ticket. The city of Cleveland want's growth, but they are not ready for it.

    Anyhow this is a story on the news. All the guys in this video I have worked with and know one of them is actually an ex-coworker of mine as we worked for the same company.

    Some bribe money to Cleveland politicians will solve that problem.

    No matter what the RTA police are worse than the DOT. Had to deal with them too many times over the years.

    I got 11 tickets on Monday. One lady wrote me 3. Literally every time we stop the trucks in center city we get a ticket. It's a total racket.

    Yeah the Cleveland Police are not really the problem they drive by and don't even bat an eye it's true. It's the RTA police that are causing the trouble.

    Somehow Pepsi must be finding a way to write those tickets off.

    They have an account set up where the money just comes right out. We don't even bring them back with us. They just blow off the windshield. Lol. I can't believe they make the beer drivers pay those tickets. I wouldn't go into center city if that was the case. It's hard enough driving those philly streets (place was designed for horses) let alone worrying about losing money.

    Completely agree, I would just refuse to deliver there. Tell the boss I'll go there when he pays the ticket.
