Picking my own freight baby! My journey to & of being on Schneider choice, the Adventure & Numbers!

If the sign states "No RVs or Tractor Trailers" wouldn't that give you a clue they don't want people sleeping/resting/camping out in the lot?

 

This reminds me of the time the yard jockey in Cambridge yelled at me for sitting along the concrete pad doing Qualcomm work etc. There are a bunch of "No Parking" signs along this area. He said "YOU KNOW THEY HAVE THESE SIGNS HERE FOR A REASON"

It's clear he's never been to Manhattan, since standing ≠ parking lol. This was on a holiday so the place was a ghost town, literally nobody on the lot except for him and I.

 

Nope I wouldn't I'd read and comprehend they mean the same.

Does the no box truck pic mean you can take a combination truck and trailer just not a box truck?

 

When you go to court and fight this please let me know I'd like to sit in the audience and hear the judges response.

 

Tractor Trailer is bobtail or loaded.. it's still a truck. Smh my 2yo knows that lmao. Like I said you're lucky it wasn't Georgia. They boot trucks for parking in Walmarts. Which is bs but hey what u gonna do

 

When it comes to laws and ordinances though, wishy washy wording causes cases to get tossed out in court.

 

I thought this was about being ticketed on private property? Who cares about the sign? If the LEO doesn't have jurisdiction on the Walmart lot, the sign is irrelevant.

Every Walmart has a no truck parking sign, and every single person on the board has parked there without any problems, I do all the time. 99.9% of the time nobody says anything. And even if a manager said something to you and you didn't leave, the most he can do is have you trespassed from the property.

The fact that FW receives a ticket is simply because of two reasons...a town law that says he can, or he is a vigilante a hole cop.

All FW has to do is call the courthouse or a local attorney and ask if the town can ticket on private property, and fight it if it is a vigilante ticket...case closed.

 

I wouldn't say it's ignorance in this case, but mere confusion as to what the sign means. The bottom line is he wasn't bothering anybody or causing any parking or traffic issues. The fact that the sign would be confusing to half the people reading it should of been enough to not write the ticket. The officer also has discretion and could of said "hey dude, they don't want you parking here so move along". Done deal.

 

Just look at the big debate we're having over what the sign means. This is exactly why his citation would get thrown out. Not only is it not clear if the sign is also intended for just tractors, but what property is the sign intended for? He could also argue he thought he wasn't on Walmart's property but on Burger King's. Lots of defense possibilities here.
