    Well Mr. Elevenhome21,

    I stand by what I said that I would do!

    Perhaps that is why the society & trucking industry is the way it is. Because everyone bows down & figures it is useless to stand your ground & put up a fight. To many people are sissies!

    I'm with REDD on this one. When you are on your home time, that becomes your personal vehicle. And if there are no signs saying "no trucks", you have every right to be there. You do need to clear it up with them. That cop just sounds like a nerf herder.

    Fight it! Fight it! Fight it!

    go back and check your facts.

    You mentioned a crash with a commercial vehicle. That automatically contitutes involvment with the DOT and a DOT inspection report.

    We are talking about a simple little parking ticket from a city cop who is not DOT trained & will not be issuing a DOT inspection report.

    Once again I will say that the only thing that is reported on a CSA2010 report is items that are listed upon a DOT inspection report!

    Ive read that, the only thing i see is a 15,000lb weight limit. But isnt there a state or federal exemption for TAH, personal conveyance, or something that allows you to drive to and park at home as long as there no TRUE restriction that prevents you from going on that road.

    You know what the sad thing is? Driver's fail to educate themselves with the new regulations when all the info is right there at their finger tips.
