Parking in the road

Can you cite the CFR number for this? I'd like to be able to point it out in the green book if and when I get hassled over it.

 

Just paint up your truck to look like a landscaper's truck. They park wherever they want!

The best ticket I got by a rookie cop was in the town where my company is located.. I was taking my truck to the shop for some repairs car in front of me slamed on there brakes I did the same the trailer brakes locked up for a second. just happened to be a cop behind me pulls me over comes an said that was quite a smoke show I had no clue what he was talking about (I didnt know they locked up) then I told him the car in front me slamed there brakes on would have rather I hit the car?? (speed limit was 45) he then said he was behind me and the car didnt make a sudden stop..I asked if he was behind me how could see what the car did?? so he writes me a ticket for ??? screeching and squealing.. He asked If I had any questions? well of course I did.. So I asked if he thought It was stupid that I was getting a ticket for screeching and squealing.. So I go to court the DA tried to get me to take court supervision I passed on that she said well he will just tell the judge that I was speeding I said well then he should have wrote me a ticket for speeding then... go before the judge.. Judge asked was you driving a semi? um yes he said was the trailer empty um yes.. are you missing work to be here um yes... He apologized for the cops stupidity a few time to me and proceeds to ream the cop a new ###.. telling its a waste of tax payers money and mine for missing work and to never pull a semi over again for something so stupid and If he is going to be pulling semi's over the he should take a course in DOT regulations.. this judge reamed him so hard I thought the little 21 yr old or so he looked that age was gonna cry.... as i walked out of the court room I said to him told you I would win....

 

I hear this line so many times. If its going somwhere I dont want to go that is illigal I tell them to write me a letter saying they take full responsability, will pay any ticket/fine.

I always find it funny how they sudenly change there mind when the responsability comes back on them.

 

were you delivering to the guy that told you to leave? I used to deal with this a few times when i was peddling, I used to go to my next stop and take his whole order back to the warehouse, guy called and asked where his delivery was, I was allways nice to my dispatcher and did anything they asked, and I find that in doing so they will stand up more for their driver, after they guy had to wait a day or two for his order a few times he kind of got the hint,

as for parking, fire/police spots, handicap spots, cross walks, and blocking any fuel pumps at gas stations are off limits, anything else is fair game
