Another town bans truck parking...

Gee imagine that.Just another trk hater town.No surprise there.What is their defination of long term parking I wonder.

 

Trucking companies should refuse to deliver in towns like that. Of course that will never happen.

 

Nope never will,they go where the money is.

 

How often do any of you hear of a trucking company actually sticking up for the drivers?They just let it all happen.As long as they see that profit they don't care what the law does.

 

Just one of the reasons is...take a look at your local WalMart. It looks like a truckstop, pee bottles and garbage and the rest of the crap that we see at these truckstops today. Why would ANY town want this kind of person parking long term in their town? It will keep getting worse for trucks to park until drivers get these "low-life" "lazy" drivers out of our industry. All it takes is opening your eyes and you will be able to see what Im talking about. Be safe out there drivers.

 

Wait a second, they are not banning commercial vehicles from the town just from areas THAT ARE NOT DESIGNED TO HAVE 80k LBS.

There is a reason for truck routes and designated parking areas. These areas are engineered for the traffic. We are just seeing more towns paying attention to it now that budgets are stretched and they get no money to help support the repairs.

If you are going to get upset about this stuff then focus on the towns that have ordinances that are designed to target trucking to generate revenue. Like the towns that have a 60k weight limit on the only route to a shipper and you have to buy single use permits to haul a load out or face HUGE tickets if you are caught without a permit.

 

True although walmarts where I live always have clean lots.But I see what you mean though.I have seen many discusting lots.Although in this case I just think ppl consider trks an eyesoar,maybe taking up too much space maybe don't want the excessive idling or the most obvious,they hate trks.

 

I know somebody that can't even park his bobtail in his own driveway.He has to leave it at the trk stop.
