County just weight restricted my road

That’s not right. Especially since you have been there a while.Im sure your neighbors w/ Trucks aren’t happy either. Maybe all together put some pressure on. Never know what they did or how they did it may be illegal. Technically. Seems People in a position only respond to the fear of losing the Power.

 

Who wants to live like that? I had a problem parked in driveway. After neighbors Son had brought his bobtail over with Police blessing. I did same and was confronted by Cop who said They got a complaint. I mistakenly had it out w/ neighbor on other side. It was nasty. Wasn’t gonna be bullied. We got over it and I later found out it was the ### across the street.Cant wait to sell in a couple years. Told my wife don’t want to end up like these miserable people in their little world. Sitting around worshiping their lawns.Meanwhile they can stare at my 44 yr old rust bucket.

 

Oh that was tame yet, I hadn't brought the nails on their driveway special yet even. People gonna be aholes, i can play that game too, in fact I'm pretty good at it.

 

Same happened to me a few years ago. Lots of roads in my area with 4 ton weight restrictions on them for no reason. Yet take a look around and count how many enormous RVs and 5th wheel travel trailers are parked in the driveway in the neighborhood. Of course those are fine.

 

Around here, someone would simply yank the sign out of the ground and everyone would continue driving their trucks home. Hell, they burned down the ###### DOT scalehouse in town after they cracked down on the farmers during harvest one year.

For a more "legal" solution, you are allowed access to roads that lead to loading/unloading/rest/fuel/terminals/etc. There is a process (you can find a brief summary in the front pages of your motor carrier atlas) in regards to petitioning for access in the event there simply isn't an "allowed" way in or out. I don't have an atlas in front of me right now, but it's in there.

 

Yes that happened to me also, in TN. One day I come home and no matter which way I take I will be going on a road that is restricted to 5 tons max. I don't bring my truck home often. I think everyone is ignoring it, I see dump trucks, semis all the time, they just ignore it. You might be able to be on the road since you are local as in a local delivery, not sure, you might argue that point. If someone was moving and using a moving company they would be allowed. They might not want trucks cutting thru those streets. Just a guess.

 

I would just disregard and do what you’ve always done. Maybe get a camera and point it towards your rig in case someone vandalizes. See which neighbor gives you the stink eye as you drive buy.

 

Lol, I have a few of those signs laying around

 

Now remember, when things look bad and it looks like you're not gonna make it, then you gotta get mean. I mean plumb, mad-dog mean. 'Cause if you lose your head and you give up then you neither live nor win. That's just the way it is.’
