If they dont want a truck near the cobbelstone then they need to make a new entrance for trucks,, other wise they can shut up and leave well enough alone in my opinion...

That is totally bizzare when people who play the 'Authority Role' only act tough, because they don't have anything better to do, and they think they're; providing protection for concerned citizens..

I like the tough security, that while driving through, their lots with posted 'speed limit' signs, although; passing through and obliging by the posted speed on their lots are running after the truck, shouting, "You're going WAY TOO fast!!"

They are completely 'Retarded', I can say that word here? "RETARDED"

I'm like, "SOMEBODY BETTER CALL A WAAAHMBULANCE" cuz, that would be 'censorship' if I can't write 'RETARDED' on here..

When I was leased to the van lines there were several stories of oil dripped at customers. Usually residences and trucks would spot the street in front of their house. Most of the time they paid to have it steam cleaned or sanded, but that was usually in "high doaller" residential areas. Never heard of it being brought up in a normal dock area or loading zone.

If there's finding a easy 'solution' to oil stains, I think you can buy it off the shelves from any automotive supply dealers, who in retrospect, I still like my idea better..

Ahem, (rich peoples involved?) 2 gal.'s 'Elitist Brand' burnt of the burnt..

You mean your company actually paid for the cleaning for a little oil drip at these residences? Did they pay for this outright or make a claim on their insurance policy? I figure if worse comes to worse, our primary insurance will just pay for the claim, if they bother contacting our company at all to get our insurance information. Since our company deducts the $400.00 per month from our settlements for the insurance, the company won't have to pay a dime themselves.

I still think that this is asinine. I mean, it is just completely selfish to expect delivery of freight and to not be reasonable about incidental and consequential cleanup. Now I'm beginning to feel like a second class citizen and now just a SMALL idea of what minorities have gone through over the last 100 years.

Heart Broken

I always keep a camera (with video) on me when I'm driving, this is way, when you do have something like this happen you can prove, they are only harrassing you, and uh, yeah, maybe counter-sue them for punitive damages to your business, slander, defamation of character, lost time, aggrievation, duress, - (if you can't afford an Attorney?) I'd recommend checking out 'the law sectors' of your local Colleges or Universities in order to finding someone who will work on a 'Pro-Bono' basis.. I know I'm new here to the site- and I don't want to sound like I am wearing my heart on my sleeve, just that- it would be good to connect and share some disheartening experiences and learn from them in a positive aspect of moving forward.
