    Yeah, but it would generate another problem...homicide from temporary insanity.

    I’m sure all those trucks would have holes cut in the floor to eliminate stopping for bathroom breaks.

    Wouldn't the wind under the truck blow it back in on you?

    Is that real or just an urban legend? I heard about it what seems awhile before I became a steering wheel holder. I heard trucks were impounded for being biohazards from feces etc.

    Every story real or imagined has a kernel of truth somewhere in there.

    Before I became a driver I installed APUs for a while. One mega has there main office terminal in the city I worked and we installed, repaired and serviced all their APUs. I can honestly say yes some of their trucks did have holes in them and were used for that. I can also say we refused to work on any of them.

    There is a certain ethnicity that is known for it, a lot of dealers have refused to work “their” trucks

    As for the original question...

    Go local. There’s no problem patking at night when the truck is safely parked on company property and your Safely parked in your bed at your home:)
     
    MACK E-6 and austinmike Thank this.

    It won't happen because we don't get our collective ### together, we should have more influence than the NRA but we don't. We have a pay for play, dog eats dog political system and until and unless we understand this and play the system accordingly nothing will change. When was the last time any of us write to our representative (congressman or senator) in Congress? The pen is mightier than the sword, government runs on paper.

    Did you know that if you are rich enough to have a private air plane you can fly and use the air traffic control system for free? You can use runways at all the civilian and municipal airports to land and use their services for free, these airports and traffic control system are funded by federal money through the FAA.

    A similar system for truck parking can be done, funded by federal money through the FMCSA.

    A force field the driver can activate so no one bothers him (cops). This way you can park anywhere.
