Default OT Semi Truck parking



"Ignoramus23561" wrote


I am thinking of allowing semi trucks to park there, to make
money. There is one semi trailer parked on my property right now -- I
have no idea whose semi trailer it is and will sort it out -- so it
seems to be legal.


In Las Vegas, out at the south end of Nellis, they were putting in Hwy 93.
There was a car out there in the desert. It had no doors, motor, rear end,
etc. Just a shell. As kids we went out there. As we got older, we got
girls to go with us. You know the rest.

The car was a hulk. But, legally, they had to slap an orange sticker on it
(it was upside down) for 90 days. Of course, no one claimed it, and it was
towed off by a wrecker after 90 days. Ending up with a titleless chattel
can be a real PITA to legally dispose of, conduct searches you might have to
pay for, and heaven forbid traces of cocaine, blood, or heroin show up.
And, as usual, it's the honest little guy who pays through the nose and has
huge hoops to go through. As a renter, this may become a regular scenario
for you which may be profitable or costly.

A guy I know in Redondo Beach rented his parking lot to those "roach
coaches" guys. He got damn good rent because in addition to being roach
coaches, they secretly doubled as unlicensed payday loan sources of cash,
and that bumped the price up, and they ended up being a very quiet
self-policing group, not wanting any reason for the cops to come over. They
were licensed inspected vehicles paying for overnight parking, think he had
to get a parking lot license. Not a lot of $$$.

Keep it simple, Simon.
