    You took a gamble and lost. Pay the ticket and next time get permission before using someone else's property.

    Truckon, the only name on this ticket is that of the issuer, with badge number. And has vehicle info, year, color, make, vin, tag, and state, but neither my name nor US Xpress is on this ticket.

    Just ignore it. Arizona gave me a parking ticket when I pulled over at 4am to take a nap in an abandoned weigh station west of Flagstaff in the middle of nowhere. I stopped at 2 truck stops so full i couldn't even make up a spot short of napping on the fuel island before I stopped their and I was starting to Micro-sleep.

    So I'm in a safe spot taking my nap and HP wakes me up at 7am telling me i can't park here and he's going to give me a ticket. I say thank you sir and go on my way. They're telling me they are going to send it to collections like i give a ####. I got perfect credit and I don't take loans for anything. Not my style. F*** the man. Live life on your own terms. I didn't leave anything in Arizona and don't have plans to go back.

    Yes, road was legal truck route, there are no signs on any roads leading up to that point that say no trucks on certain roads up to that point, and if there were the Sherwin Williams store on the other side of the road wouldn't be able to get any shipments. If you want to see the parking lot im speaking of on Google maps search 2601 Dawn drive, georgetown, Tx, you'll notice it's not attached to any businesses, and even on Google maps there's no vehicles parked there.

    I stand corrected, on the over head view there are no vehicles parked there. But ultimately on the street view there is, ironically, another big truck parked there. Thank you for that.

    I was parked in almost the exact same spot as the J.B hunt truck.

    Next time if you plan on staying at a families home just park it at a truck stop and ask them to come pick you up.
