    Anybody who doesn't know what exactly no tractor trailer parking means should go in the place of business and ask them.I've seen all different no parking signs while in a bobtail,at the end it all means the same.No tractor trailer simply means no truck and/or trailer.

    Ok good point but what if a truck and trailer parks there technically not a tractor trailer but common sense would say hey I'm not allowed here

    Supposedly the reason is because some guy decided to do an oil change there without a drain pan.

    Very well.

    Then they should've put "no truck parking" on the sign.

    Of course, all of this is pretty much a moot point though if we're only talking about a $25 fine.

    The point of the whole thing is drivers need to use some common sense and if they don't want to don't complain when you get tickets

    The obvious answer is: What is the cost of the citation? What is the ordinace code written on the ticket? Do you live fairly close to the Court where the citation is written for?
    Pick your battles. This citation in no way adds CSA points, nor add points to your license.

    That depends on the state.I was issued a$120.00 parking ticket in mass on a dirt lot that was owned by McDonald's found out 2 yrs later from another company a reckless was on my mvr.Had I looked at the ticket I would have fought it.

    Freight moved by truck and the volume of trucks to move said freight has increased dramatically in recent years, so unfortunately this is now where we are.

    Questionable trip planning aside, an assumption not likely to be made by someone currently being barked at by the black box.

    That is a situation arising from a lawsuit and is completely different animal.
