    I’m curious what a 2024 Freightliner Cascadia with a sleeper weighs, just the tractor alone. The street I live on has a weight limit of 24,000 lbs and I’m wondering if it exceeds that weight limit. It probably would but I’m curious.

    That truck should be around 20k at the most.

    You might want to check, but I believe they go by what the vehicle is licensed for?
    Not what the vehicle actually weighs.

    If your taken it home, I would be more worry about the neighbors complaining. Many homeowners residents don’t like trucks sitting in front of there neighborhood even though they say they support truck drivers. Also, is your neighborhood zoned for it ?

    I get along with all my neighbors and I’ve talked to all of them. Every one of them have been in favor of me parking my truck in front of my home. I’m only worried about a city employee driving by and losing their minds. I’m not in any kind of HOA so that’s not an issue. I’d never buy any home anywhere near an HOA. If I buy a property I’m never going to have anyone tell me what I can or cannot do on the property that I’m paying for. I’m not sure if this neighborhood is zoned for it or not. When we bought this house I really wanted to be out in the country but that didn’t happen because of the cost. This was the only house we could afford. If we were out in the country then none of this would be an issue. Frustrating to say the least.

    I agree with what you’re saying about it’s your property and you do as you please. However, the city/county may have a different opinion if it’s Zoned against it.
