Fuel City in Mesquite, TX

I asked the manager as well when I stayed there. That's why I knew that was their "excuse". I cant say for certain that it isn't a city ordinance, but for some reason, my 57 years of life's experiences, just cant seem to grasp that a city would enact an ordinance that makes it illegal for a truck driver to stay more than 6 hours at a truck stop. It just doesn't make sense to me for a city council to do that for (or to govern parking on) private properties.

I am more inclined to believe that it is a company policy. This is a pretty busy place for local companies like Coca Cola, UPS & others. I think they want to rotate out trucks who fuel, eat & scale regularly. I think the 6 hr rule is in place to intentionally, keep trucks rotating. If we know that we can not stay there for our 10 hr break, we wont plan to stay there but to only drop in for fuel, tacos & scales, then leave. They simply do not want trucks planning to park & take up space for any length of time. Therefore, the idea is that, there will always be spaces available for those other trucks to park for fuel, scale & tacos.

Unfortunately, I have a customer in Dallas, right up from there that requires full & empty scale tickets from this place. I have to scale there, but I dont have to buy fuel or tacos there.... & I wont.
