While there is no required certification or registration for service animals, proper service animals and their owners receive extensive training for the tasks they're expected to perform and also tested and trained for temperament. Not every dog will meet those standards and simply thinking yours will be alright leaves the potential for serious litigation if the dog should react towards another individual. I'd suggest searching out trainers to at least have that peace of mind beforehand.

Good luck getting in those smaller, local places. Drivers in that area will use those spots as their designated and many times leave their personal vehicles to hold their place while they work. I've never parked on the ramp at an actual truck stop location but I do use ramps in rural areas many times because it's quiet and very little traffic at those exits. In fact, it's quite common. I also did it on many occasions doing heavy haul for the simple fact that in your larger cities and especially along the east coast, those places tend to be tight getting in and out and parking is already inadequate so taking up 2-3 spots is an inconvenience for others.

Good call on getting ahold of local authorities to avoid a potentially bad situation but let me also add this. Over and over on this site, proper trip planning is emphasized, especially for unfamiliar locations. On my side of the industry and previously in heavy haul, we go to many locations that are off the beaten path and require us to travel down roads which are weight restricted, non truck routes and rural residential areas. Locating the customer, identifying it with the tools we have available and a quick phone call ahead of time can avoid many of these headaches. That being said, you did the right thing.

Now that's a stretched frame. The truck being Project 350 built by Ritchie Acosta. He ran the east coast for several years in that truck putting it in some crazy places along the way before dying from a drug overdose.

It looks longer than it is because that's only a 48" sleeper on the back. The truck itself is only a 270" wb.

Saw this beauty earlier today

I think it proves Taylor Swift is a big fan of PackRat. Why else would she need 90 semis?

Lots and lots of shoes.

Robert I have been meaning to ask,was you is your picture of your truck taken at Anchor Ingredients in Hillsboro? I live nearby and see lots of Foltz trucks coming and going?

That's at Fromm in Mequon Wisconsin but I'm at Hillsboro quite a bit.

That's not enough weight for them to even worry about, especially with you being under gross. Texas has the highest overweight fines but they're not going to bat an eye at that.

I might be the only one here to admit this but I find the LA situation a bit funny and I have to give you a huge ^5 for it. I’m sure you were called everything but a son of god but given how LA motorists behave around big trucks, they kinda deserve it lol. Don’t be too hard on yourself, simple mistakes and as was mentioned, you didn’t hit anything.
