    except, you knew who left it there and you took it just to be a jerk.
    probably made you feel like a hero, "gotta show him huh"

    if he broke co policy that is between him and the co. unless it's your name on the door.

    Nah just needed a trailer.

    lol...you must be one of the jerks that take up valuable parking spaces while you take your home time.

    And you are about to make me forget this is a civil subforum.

    ok. Then you are not part of the problem.

    When you get back on the road, stay out of Atlanta.

    Why?

    Because all the free trucks stops are full of local drivers trucks. While they sit at home.

    LOL

    will do.

    I get what you're saying, BTW

    just not sure I would call someone out on it. I think you would be foolish to leave equipment that you are responsible for in an area where others will notice that it is unattended. Just not a good idea to me.

    I like this restaurant, near my house, off the 101.

    They keep a little lot for local trucks, on condition that you eat before you leave.

    It's a 3 mile walk to my house too!

    So when you think about it, a sandwich is a good price to pay for a weekend at home, leaving the truck in a more or less safe place.

    And yes, I'd prefer to keep it mysterious. It only takes one person who can't park to ruin the whole thing from 15 spaces to 2.

    At the warehouse I get my freight from. Sometimes tho I wanna park my truck straight up my bosses ### and catch a flight to Vegas with what would surely be my final Friday paycheck. What can I say... it was a rough day.

    Right in front of the house...even with a trailer...make sure your city allows it. Alao, your company may have "rules" about a load being at your house...just ask and get the rules...
