Default Dallas, Texas crackdown....

Local news last night reported that Dallas Texas Police were cracking down on truckers that were parking on streets, business parking lots, and other areas away from Truck Stops.

One "local business owner" was quoted as saying he was afraid of a "bad element" coming into the area.
8)

Nobody mentioned however how long truckers had been parking in these areas or how come now it's a problem. :roll:

Default Dallas Parking

If I remember right, Dallas never allowed drivers to park their trucks anywhere. I know we had a problem with letting drivers bob tail to take random drug/alcohol test, I can't remember all the details about why etc.
All DOT/Cops are cracking down on truck drivers because of the number of deaths that involve truck drivers and the drug bust lately on the Mexico boarder.

HAVE A MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS :lol:

Truth hurts.. if you cannot understand why truck drivers are not allowed anywhere BUT truckstops in Dallas.. Go visit them and see the scumbags that they attract! Also look for the many broken down fences and knocked down poles and large holes in the asphalt.

Then they need to build more truckstops. Every time I go to dallas i have to park at our terminal in lancaster or find a truckstop outside the dallas area. the truckstops are always overflowing when I'm there.

I've never had trouble getting into a TS in the Dallas area. East Coast...now there is where your space gets hard to come by...night or day.

What time of day are you getting into the truck stops in Dallas? I won't even consider stopping there. It's futile.
