Cops won't let you sleep around Port of Newark anymore?

In a 18 wheeler you run into conflict with Federal Law in HOS when in sleeper.

To be blunt, you don't matter. Your truck is in the way. Move it.

Here is a brief on how bad many cities have learned to criminalize any form of camping or sleeping etc.

It's been going on for years.

And yes there are some filthy truckers out there. I really hate to say it's true.

New Brunswick, Lombardi, Darien CT and a host of other little spots come to mind.

Disclaimer, I have parked badly in NJ before. They would ticket me and I pay the fine. Cost of doing business. It has no meaning.

 

This enforcement is probably the result of the long lines of trucks waiting to get into the marine terminals of Newark/Elizabeth. It was a hazard then it is an even a bigger hazard now. So they're dealing with it. Now you have to adapt. Park at the Pilot on Doremus ave. or one of the rest area's along the Turnpike.

 

Town probably got tired of cleaning the trash and piss bottles left everywhere.

 

Park at the pilot on doremus ave ? Roflmao you are kidding right ?

 

Welcome to the Eastern Seaboard.
Where long-haul is a different beast & anyone who trucks is 100% a-okay with running local.

You all seen the Megalopolis map?



That's just a small section. It actually runs Portland, ME to Richmond, VA... a little gap in the Carolinas then back to extreme density in Florida..... Over here, you're surrounded by idiots ALL the time!

 

Sorry but that’s the least of the problems in that area.....
