Truckers Need Parking Rights ng anniversaiy honor of Doris Dear Editor: This letter is long ôver- due. However, I was at this time inspired by the letter last week from Disturbed Citizen who would like to know what can be done about trucks being parked on the street. The solution is quite simple simple - let the owners of these trucks park legally on their own property. Oh, perhaps local citizens are unaware of the fact that the Town of Newcastle is one of the few municipalities who has a bylaw bylaw which states that these gentlemen cannot park their leir own t pa own trucks in the driveways since it is rarely enforced and those rare times being done so on a complaint basis only. In other words, if no one in the neighbourhood complains, complains, bylaw officers choose to ignore the infraction and that is why at present, dozens dozens of owners continue to park in their driveways and a select few of us are unable to. In our case, since moving to Newcastle just over two 'ears ago, a combined effort y one resident of our neighbourhood neighbourhood who complained about our truck and this ridiculous ridiculous bylaw to the officers, officers, has literally forced our family out of the trucking industry industry after fifteen years of operation. By parking our truck 75 feet from the street, beside a 10 foot hedge and behind our home, we were faced without warning with a possible possible $10,000 fine. Along with Disturbed Citizen, we E A Compact Camcorder...

For that reason, we bought a home on a large piece of property, so we could safely park our truck out of everyone's way. We then learned we could not park on our own property and there wasn't any room on the street, so what choices choices were we left but to sell our truck or our home and we refused to give up our home for anyone. Lack of knowledge and respect for the trucking industry industry causes many people like Disturbed Citizen to complain about these beautiful beautiful pieces of equipment looking looking "junky". Perhaps you don't realize that these rigs have a purchase price in excess excess of $100,000, the same price range as a lot of homes here, but you don't see anyone anyone being" forced to move their hdine because it looks junkyv$The money for these trucks is put out not only to make an honest living and support their families, but to provide a service for every single individual out there by transporting your food to grocery stores, medicine to drug stores, gas to gas stations, stations, cars to dealerships, etc., etc., only to have people continually complain about your truck doing so. Everyone Everyone seems to take this service service for granted. Consider also, the family oriented sacrifices that are made daily by these owner/ operators who usually have to be on the road all week away from their families - working for you. Due to the weekly maintenance that has to be performed in order to keep these trucks in good running condition, this is a seven day a week family effort. effort. However, due to complaints, complaints, some drivers are forced to go away from their homes and families on weekends weekends as wqll to perform this service. If they cannot afford to go elsewhere, and cannot wash their own vehicle in their own driveway, it is quite evident that they will start to look junky. These truck drivers work long, hard hours to transport transport necessities to you and your family. Maybe the next time you start to complain about trucks, you should consider first of all what right you have to do so to the extent that you can decide decide for families such as mine what we can or cannot do on our own property, eventually deciding for us that we have to find a new way of life to support our family and also, remember that every truck driver out there is working to provide not only for himself and his family, but for you.
