    Same argument. Some towns change the laws after the driver starts.

    You should have planned better for your stop.

    Now, who wins the dumb argument.

    You do.

    Kinda hard to plan my stop better when the ts is used as private parking

    I stand firmly behind what I say.

    I know what you mean. For instance, I parked at home for about a year. Came home after 3 weeks out to signs, no commercial truck parking over 10,000 pounds allowed in city limits.

    Now, where do I get to park?

    The truck stop is 10 miles away, nearest town is 20 miles.

    That's where you need to stand up to these cities.

    I did.

    I had one vote.

    There were many people in town that were up in arms about trucks parked in town and they wanted them gone.

    They actually say you cannot park on your own property?

    How do they get away with it?

    City law and zoning rules.

    There were many signed petitions from other residents calling for the law change.

    many communities within towns have their own bylaws
    some retirement communities don't allow cars in the driveway even
    try parking at the Vince Lombardi on the New Jersey Turnpike
    all of the bronk is parked there on HT

    ladr where do you park your truck on HT?

    At my house. South Georgia a just a bit different from those big places.

    When I drove for Davis Transfer, at the terminal. Five minutes from the house.

    I'm not obtuse and I fully understand that some people cannot park at home for some reason. I just don't agree with the ts being used as a private lot. The ts's in the Atlanta area are used by the local drivers like that. Except for the TA,which is paid parking. Try to find parking.......

    Your problem shouldn't be my problem.

    Your problem should not be their problem either.
