    :biggrin_25510: I know that I have brought this subject up before, since it is our biggest problem, where to park for truckers. When you live in a place that is not trucker freindly what are you supposeto do. I know that there are places that you can rent to store your truck, by paying a monthly fee, but that just dosen't seem worth it, when you add up how much time it is used. I there any advice out there, for stranded in St. Charles, Missouri.
    Thanks, Delle

    all the whackjobs running the country. Before you know it, they'll have us sitting at a dead stop on the freeway ... no trucks allowed past this point !! Bunch a sickos . Yeah, I wouldn't be suprised if something took place at the docks now. 10 minute dock limit. now if i had a dump trailer... no problem. i'd dump the $h!t right in front of the main office door. and then back into it to compact it in even tighter.

    I dont live very far from that area. And it seems that out here we have a real probllem with drivers that seem to be unable to "Read signs". You know thoses pesky, vage No Parking signs, or No though Truck Traffic, No Trucks over 5 tons ect ect.

    Heck the street I live on the truck route comes into town from the south. At the end of the block it "ends" and then runs east to west on a cross street. This is clearly marked by a "Truck route <== ==>" sign. On the north side is a nice "No Through Truck Traffic". Yet here about two months ago a driver would proceed daily past the signs, off the truck route to park his truck with a loaded flatebed trailer on the city street beside the apartment complex he lived at. This complex is withit easy walking distance of the truck route. Now from chatting with a deputy one morning while getting coffee it took, verbal warnings, followed by four parking tickets, and finally having the truck towed. Before the driver picked up the clue that those signs applied to him to!

    My long winded point here is... How much of this do we bring onto ourselvs? Think about it the next time you throw your trash bags out in a "Vacent lot" that your parked in.

    if that's the case. So the drivers actually live there right? At least some of them. Isn't there a bus stop nearby? haha
