    My wheels raise up off of the ground when entering my driveway from the street. I’m currently parking in the neighborhood but my neighbors are starting to complain.

    I got a dry van now had a reefer for years I am out in country but still have neighbors no one ever complained but glad I switched worry about the hazmat loads sitting in the driveway but so far no complaints .... try to get along with the nieghbors but you never know if you had a company truck I don't think they can say anything but an owner operator is running a business out of his house but there are several guys in the area doing same thing . a lot more people move out here now but so far no problem

    i thought all truckers had at least 10 acres and park their truck at home. I wouldn’t have it any other way

    My place was the same way. I got a doZer for 2 days and put in 500 ft of stoned road. Undercut the topsoil and put crushed stone down. You can use millings. Millings is free. DoZer was 1500 bucks for 2 days. I used to be an equipment operator but you don’t need to be an expert to undercut and put stone down
    Oh, edit, I guess your saying the actual roads to get to your house or very small. I gotcha

    Yes! I bought my farm 2 years ago. Never been happier in my life. I’m not a farmer, but couldn’t
    Be happier any where else. My main shop has a concrete floor, 200 amp underground electric and a office. More tools than many mechanics have, and it doubles as my man cave!lol!
