Picking my own freight baby! My journey to & of being on Schneider choice, the Adventure & Numbers!

I agree with FW. Look, 14 yrs Leo experience. Signage has to be clear and concise. If I was asked to write that ticket I wouldn't have. In my opinion "No tractor/trailer parking" means both, in combination. I would not have issued a ticket for just a tractor.
If he challenged the ticket in court, which has to be beyond a reasonable doubt I might add, in my opinion the reasonable doubt is created by the signage. If you lined up 10 people and asked them what the sign means, half would probably say both tractor and trailer, and half would say one or the other. Plenty of reasonable doubt. His bobtail was also parked in an area that wasn't causing any problems. He wasn't parked in front of the doors blocking traffic. In my opinion it's a bad ticket.

 

I've never in all my years in LE seen a city ordinance for vehicles on private property. Public property yes, never private. That would be mean they could create one telling you where you can park on your own property.

 

This one isn't about revenue. The revenue for tickets is shared by the state and local municipalities. Parking tickets aren't going to buy squad cars.

 

All it takes is one person to agree, and this topic goes back to the beginning.

 

I'll give an example of the Walmart in Laredo has signs that's a no tractor trailer parking then they have a second sign a few feet away that says tractor parking...

 

Y'all really debating about why a cop gave a ticket out for enforcing the law smh

 

Because this is not Soviet Russia and we have more than one company that makes signs. What is the difference between a bathroom, a restroom, and a washroom? Synonyms are a thing.

 

Seen a whole bunch of Schneider trailers on the rail going west... I'm not talking about Intermodal containers these were van trailers... One train I believe that 15 trailers on it
