    Arrived last night at the Vince Lombardi station in NJ and there was no truck parking so I parked in the truck section but by the curb. Woke up this morning with a summon on the windshield,what the hell.. can I use the logbook defense? :confused:

    Nope. Even the U.S. Marshals can't save you.

    This has been a recurring theme on TTR lately.

    Why can't truckers park where they are supposed to?

    If it's not a parking spot and/or you don't have permission to park there, don't freaking park there.

    Your logs are your problem--no one else's.

    Would appear there is truck parking near the curb all around the place to me.

    Vince Lombardi would have never approved naming that cesspool service plaza after him.

    Was assuming the curb on the inside of the rest area where the other trucks are parked as he said he was in the truck section. If he was parked on the outside loop where the white stripes are painted & it has no parking signs, then he is on the hook for the ticket.

    Pretty simple... don't go to New Jersey, NYC or any other place that ships and receives hundreds of thousands of trucks per day, yet provides a miniscule amount of parking.
