CA: Citation for parking on interstate on/off ramps

I agree, the whole points thing is BS. I would contact them and negotiate, like, Ill pay the fine and not fight this, if you will agree to not to give me any points, otherwise I will fight it. never hurts to try, and most magistrates will do that, it keeps the paper work down and the in person visits down.

 

A: Plan each and every trip down to the last mile. I know before I hit the hiway. How far it is, how far I will drive EACH day and where I will stop. I can tell my company exactly, down to the hour when I will dell.

B: After 2 hrs tell the company you a delay at the dock. After 4hrs let the comapany know that the load may be late. After 6 tell them it will be late. Most companies will get on the shipper after the 1st call and defferently by the 2nd. It is not my problem to del on-time if the shipper can't ship on time.

C: In Cal you figure that EVERY ticket has points on it. Thats why you allways behave in Cal and give them the finger when you leave.

 

YEP, and they will suspend your (out-of-state) drivers license if you don't pay.

 

TVC is a joke.

 

had youmade it to the top of the hill you could of hit the rest area or gone a little further to Chirlaco Summit and parked in the big dirt lot next to the chevron station.he got you because of WHERE you were,considering there was most likely plenty of parking over at that casino behind the T-A. as for TVC--they have done me well when i needed their services.

 

In 10+ years of driving I have never been desperate enough to park on the on/off ramp of the freeway. Do what you have to do to, but dont do that. I see trucks parking there all the time when there is an almost empty truck stop at that exit. Pure laziness I think sometimes. I saw a fatal accident a few days ago where a ford van driver fell asleep and rear ended a Miller truck that was parked on an offramp doing 70+. Big fire ensued and both the van and Miller trailer and its load were destroyed, not to mention a fatality.

 

This guy has never pulled a reffer!! Hes probably never had an apointment at 2 or 3 am to get loaded or unloaded. How many times have we pulled out of a shipper at 2 or 3 am dead tired but as soon as your MT or loaded your told to leave the property!!
Its not always "poor" trip planning recruit!!! stay out here long enough you will learn these things! Your posting only shows your a Newb! Im not saying there is anything wrong with being a new guy, but you should think before you post! The things you learned in trucking school do not always apply out here!!
