Have $500.00 cash in your pocket when stopping/parking @ Walmart in Eaton,Ohio

You do know you could have run I64 to I44 right in to tulsa, Right?

 

Could call Al,(937) 456-369,get his side.

 

haha...slim shadys from Chicago and knows the parking game...lol.

true story. I bought an item from a guy in Chicago and had to drive the 3 hours there, told him i would get there around 8pm and call his cell as he was gonna go out for a while. I get into Chicago and call him, he calls me back and tells me his car was towed. So I arranged to go out and pick him up as I had already made the drive and wanted my stuff. I go to where he's at and no lie he took a risk and parked at an apartment building and they towed him. I drove him to his place and did the deal, then brought him to the tow yard where he paid the $150 or whatever. The guy was a trip, it was business as usual for him, just part of living in Chicago...he wasn't mad or pissed at all about it. I got my stuff, he got his car back and went on his way. I just ended up making things easier for both of us.

I have a relative who is an attorney. He would call this type of thing "stupid tax". It was most likely preventable, probably a bad deal, but not worth investing a lot of time pursuing to get your $250 back. He would say move on and forward and take it as education.

Some easy things to do would be email the police department and make a citizen complaint. Chiefs will get these and follow up on them. You can also contact the walmart by mail and try to get a better explanation.

I also like the dashcam thing...put it on youtube! maybe you will get a million hits and get some $$ back. title it "gay cops hugging at scene of parking complaint!"

 

Just by the way the op routes himself I am going to call bs on this one as well. There is no way a company would have him drive so far out of route for nothing. This is like the nose in parking thread so dumb but yet still going.

 

Translation: We don't want to pay the state of KY $0.0285 cents per mile

 

As i ststed before, I've stopped at that WalMart multiple times and never had an issue. i used to deliver to a few places in Eaton and Springborro and stopped there between deliveries and grabbed some lunch.

So you have these reciepts??? post them up then, and this video you have as well......

As for having issues with your KYU number, sounds like your boss doesn't like paying his taxes.... but will put video cams in the trucks and pay the OOR miles in fuel, which is 99% more $ than paying the KY distance tax.

 

LOL thats what i would do i would make it look like i was doing a drop, once at menards in april they thought i was bringing in there landscape stuff.lol i always just made it look like i belong an blend in.and park by the loading un loading docks at wallmart or target.i would do that too if i couldn't find a place to crash for the night,i would just stay out of the way in case the real delivery truck came in.

 

It's 80 miles out of route

 

Ok Ohio towers are regulated by the Ohio PUC office. Yeah the same ones who mess with trucks...

check out some of the law here regarding towing..

***************

07. Tow Truck Regulations

The Ohio General Assembly passed House Bill 87, and it was signed by Gov. Bob Taft on March 30, 2003. HB 87 removes the exemption for tow trucks hauling wrecked or disabled vehicles. They now fall under Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) jurisdiction under Ohio Revised Code (ORC) 4921.07 and ORC 4921.02.
Just like motor carriers that haul everything from produce to hazardous materials, for-hire tow trucks operating on Ohio's roadways must register with the PUCO. For-hire towing companies must also follow federal motor carrier safety regulations governing maintenance and repair, record keeping, driver licensing, drug and alcohol testing, and hours of service. The PUCO conducts regular inspections to ensure that tow truck operators are in compliance with the federal rules and assesses fines when violations are detected.
Several categories of tow truck operators are exempt from PUCO registration requirements and federal motor carrier safety regulations, including:

• Owners of tow trucks used for private business and not for-hire (This category includes salvage yards hauling only vehicles purchased for salvage and companies that operate tow trucks to service fleet vehicles.).
• For-hire tow truck companies that operate entirely within one or more contiguous municipal areas.
• Government agencies.

The PUCO does not have the authority to set towing rates or vehicle impoundment fees and does not regulate the customer service quality or operating boundaries of tow truck companies. Questions and concerns regarding the service of a particular towing company should be directed to the Ohio Attorney General or the Better Business Bureau.
Safety Rules

The PUCO has adopted the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR) under Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) 4901:. These safety rules will apply to commercial motor vehicles as defined in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)49 Part 390.5.
All motor carriers must maintain a driver qualification (DQ) file for each driver they use, which includes all items in CFR49 Part 391.51.
All motor carriers must comply with hours of service regulations and maintain record of duty status, or, as the industry knows them, log books, for a period of 6 months, as required by CFR49 Part 395.8. If you operate locally then you can use the exception found in CFR49 Part 395.1(E).
All motor carriers must maintain maintenance records as required in CFR49 Part 396.3. All drivers must complete a daily inspection of each vehicle operated listing any and all safety defects, and carriers must maintain these inspections as required by CFR49 Part 396.11 and effect repairs of safety items before the commercial motor vehicle may be dispatched again.
All motor carriers are required to have all commercial motor vehicles inspected on an annual basis, and documentation that the commercial motor vehicle passed the inspection must be carried on board as required in CFR49 Part 396.17.
Alcohol and Drug Testing is required by CFR49 Part 382 if the size and or weight of the commercial motor vehicle requires the driver to possess a commercial drivers license (CDL) as required in ORC 4506.
Note: The definition of a commercial motor vehicle in CFR49 Part 383.5 is for that part only.
