    Heh, put a boot on my truck and then you can watch me get out my tools and (even if it takes hours), cut that thing off

    Extension cord & angle grinder should do the trick ;-)

    You're absolutely right. I didn't mean to suggest that drivers should try this now. I was thinking about the vast empty spaces that could be repurposed for an existing need - if community leaders etc would do so.
     
    Double Dime and Chinatown Thank this.

    Never happen, nobody wants big trucks anywhere near where they live, or generally around them. Can't say I blame them after seeing some of the knuckle draggers out here that give real professional drivers a bad image/ reputation

    They (the general public) have done it to themselves. In the quest for ever cheaper and cheaper ####, wages have been driven into the toilet so far, that mostly that’s all you can get to drive a truck... knuckle draggers.

    for the same reason WM does not want truck parking.....drivers leaving pee bottles, crap bags and other garbage..who's gonna clean up that mess?

    until ALL drivers RESPECT others property, can we really blame them for throwing out drivers, or booting..??

    some people HERE may be clean and RESPECTFUL, but many more simply are not, and as a result, we all pay for this.

    This is the next generation of 'Parking Boot' which no one will be able to defeat.

    I could get that thing off in about two seconds with a strip of sharpened sheet metal.

    The better solution? Don’t live in large cities.
