I recently booked a load out of Warner Robins Ga. I can say I had no trouble, but I parked some miles away at a local truck stop. I do agree that this ordinance is out of the realm of common sense. I am glad that the trucking community sent in their letters and let these folks know exactly how they feel. We are not a nuisance or an eyesore, we bring everything you wear, eat, or use and you folks need to realize this. I also know that the base there depends on our services as well as the town.
