traffic ticket ?
 
Unbelievable! Just finished Schneider two week academy, and was driving thru the Ontario mills parking lot and got popped for stop sign ticket. I don’t have a cdl yet so I guess I can pay the ticket off before I get it and still go to traffic school? The training instructor tells me after the fact that several students have been popped there, I wandered right into the spiders web. If you are in the Ontario area, beware of the Ontario mills shopping mall.
Any advice out there on how I should handle this ?

Call the court that has jurisdiction over that area and ask them what the penalty is. If it's the first one you ever had they may cut you some slack.

Ontario Mills has had a MAJOR HARD-ON for trucks and truck drivers for a few years now. At one time, trucks would park there, then they started towing trucks off to impound. I've heard a number of stories and read others in some of the trucking magazines. It was to the point that one local driver wouldn't even go into the mall area. He parked his truck at the curb on the side of the street and made the customer come out there to get their product. I think that was about 4 or 5 years ago now. But, companies keep sending drivers there to face it all.

Yours is the first I've heard in a couple of years, now, but I doubt that the local attitude has changed any. In the past two years, I've turned down two loads going there and dispatch has decided not to try to send me there anymore. It's the BEST WAY to fight it. NO SERVICE. refuse to go there.

I dont know about the rest of the country, but since when could you get a citation for running a stop sign, or any other infraction on PRIVATE PROPERTY.

Hell, I've been riding for 30 years and watched drag races and guys pulling wheelies in parking lots with the cops watching and they cant do anything about it unless the property owner calls them.

a couple of my training instructors said the same thing, it is private property, he doesnt have the authority to issue tickets there.

Apparently that is the case then.
I know there is a grocery store/plaza near me and one of the managers husband is a cop. He's constantly there hiding between cars on his motorcycle, nailing someone for running the couple stop signs they have in there.

They might just be preying on peoples ignorance of the law.
