Came across this video showing a trucker who got booted and chained. Unfortunately the guy shooting the video did not give a location.
Phone number on the notice is an Atlanta area code, I am curious if you guys know more about this parking location ?

I carry the 36". Makes quick work of anything that fits in the jaws. Learned the hard way after losing a key to one of the high grade locks I put on the trailer door. Universal key...lolWoodchuck88, PoleCrusher, Brettj3876 and 17 others Thank this. -
That may be the BP on I-285 on the East side. There's a small BP station with a couple of diesel pumps for trucks. Some Indian immigrants run the place and there's NO truck parking anywhere except at the pumps where you fuel. You have to fuel and then pay before moving the truck. If you pull forward then go inside to pay, you get booted. One of the Indians walks around with a boot under his coat so he can sneak up on the truck driver. If that's the same place, they've been doing that for years.
That place was discussed on a talk radio station in Atlanta and they said a private company will tow the truck and the immigrant gets a big cut of the tow bill. The more trucks he boots, the more money he makes that day.
Edit: Even if they don't have you towed, it costs several hundred dollars just to remove the boot.
I went there only one time and someone yelled at me on the CB warning me. I had pulled up on the left side of the building and planned on taking about a 15 minute break. I saw the guy walking around and watching me and he had a bulky coat on and could see something was hidden under the coat.Last edited: Oct 12, 2017

From looking at the vid. I'm willing to bet that's south of the BP you speak of Chinatown. I'm sure that's the Blazing sattle strip club on Moreland Ave. I belave it's called club blaze now.Chinatown Thanks this.

If ALL I did was buy fuel, pull forward, and go inside to pay and they booted my truck while I was inside, I'd have ZERO issues with making scrap metal out of their boot. Hook up my air line and make a nice slice through it with my pneumatic cut-off tool. That's after I used my bolt cutters on the lock. Try and say anything...I dare you. You'll find out the hard way what OTHER tools I might have at my disposal.peterbilt_2005, RockinChair, QuietStorm and 6 others Thank this.

I bet that's going to be a hefty cost to have the boot removed and whatever else that comes with it.Far as the location maybe leave a comment and you'll get an answer soon.
