Pilot was full. Shipper told me of a vacant lot where trucks parked. There was one other truck there. I got a knock on the door. A guy had put a boot on my truck and told me it would cost $600 cash or comcheck to get it off else I would be towed in an hour. He says he does this in 14 lots in Albany. If there was a no parking sign on lot I didn't see it. There was no negotiating with this man.
He gave me a receipt (yes I paid and drove away) and a business card. T & L repo and booting services.

boy,You just keep getting the shaft don't you!
Aren't you the one that almost got Locked in a Shippers Yard over Thanksgiving?buddyd157 Thanks this. -
Were you on private property? North Georgia is famous for booting. We have stores we are not allowed or they will boot us because we own the building but not the parking lot.

I would have checked the lot for “no parking” signs before I shelled out any money. Even then I don’t think I would have paid. They can’t tow a truck that is occupied.
misterG and Aamcotrans Thank this. -
Fact of the matter is this- its a Classless Tacky situation- If its No Parking Clearly put a sign up- Don't Boot a Vehicle immediately after they p[ark and go to sleep. At Least wake em up and tell them to leave- Illegal if you ask me,
Kind of country this is turning out to be.Grubby, gentleroger, gokiddogo and 3 others Thank this. -
We as an industry have kind of brought it on ourselves using every flat lot as a personal parking space.
If it is private property make sure you ask the owner of said property. Do not just assume that you can use it.Tb0n3, Studebaker Hawk, Just passing by and 2 others Thank this. -
