8. Loitering is Not Allowed
You might not think of parking your truck so you can rest as loitering, but technically it can be considered as such.
Loitering is generally defined as remaining in a one place that is not your own, for no official or other legitimate reason.
So if you’re parking your truck and not making a delivery or pickup and you are not shopping, you technically have no reason to be there.
People in most communities are considering loitering as a crime! Loitering is usually a misdemeanor, but can include fines and even jail time.
9. Excessive Wear and Tear
You might not think about this but often parking lots are not designed to handle that much weight at one time.
Now sure you see a dozen cars pass by there all day long. Keep in mind they don’t weigh as much as your truck and trailer individually much less when counted together!
Then you add the additional weigh of the freight they are hauling and many lots just can’t handle it. It is very expensive to build and pave parking lots; the annual upkeep can be costly as well.
So of course they don’t build them to withstand the added weight of a loaded semi truck and heavy duty trucks.
