All us truckers need to start keeping angle grinders and torches in our trucks. Boot my truck I promise you it's coming off and I'm not paying you a penny.
Take the legal route. get your original $500 back plus restitution and court/attorney fees. Things gonna get quite expensive for the boot company. Boot companies are like repomen. they are the scum of the earth.
Since this is a private parking lot (as opposed to public), and the time limit was clearly not posted, this should constitute theft (and possibly breaking of a few other laws involving scams and misleading, overcharging etc.), and the police should be called. The driver should not have to provide anything what so ever to anyone in order to prove anything. He was legally on that property as a customer. Even if he didn't buy anything. I'd sue both the owner of the property and the boot company and aid the police in any prosecution they may decide to pursue (though unlikely, they'll claim it's a civil matter, even though they have illegally prohibited the driver from use of his property).
Booting should be banned everywhere. We pay for so much day to day, and then we have to face parking fees, parking citations, and booting! The roads and parking lots have been paid for 100x over with all the money those parking enforcement agencies collect!
I'm a truck driver and they just booted me in the same location. Literally was in advance auto parts to get def fuel for FIVE MINUTES. IM SUPER PISS RIGHT NOW. Had to come out pocket five hundred dollars.
I never shop in the atlanta area for this reason. They take advantage of truckers an we bring everything the stores sell. Atlanta is the only area in the country I don't feel comfortable shipping in.
Seen other stories like this one in other states , if you think your not in the wrong call the police . In one case the police had a locksmith cut the boot off with a grinder.
Union city, ga is the "booting capital" of the atlanta, ga metro!! I try to get in & out of there for load pickups & deliveries like i'm on the run from the police or something!! #IJS
Even though I think this particular case sucks and is unfair. When I managed a truck stop guys would park anywhere they wanted for days sometimes. fire zones, diesel pumps even in reserved parking they didn't pay for. Like I said wish I had semi truck boots back then 😂
$500 a ky walmart is $3000 to$8000 I tell u what if I get booted I stop my truck. This towing and recovery companies are price gouging the trucking industry and they should be allowed by the government. With this crisis with the COVID-19.
24years otr coast to coast border to border its always a problem to find a safe place to park close to pickup or receiving...in some cases if you don't park for the night before 3pm you'll play hell trying to get a spot it's getting worse each year always have to watch your back everywhere you park predators are everywhere this is a major reason i retired 😀😅
Yeah considering they've done nothing but lie...and you believe the tow company? He has a receipt to compare the receipt time vs the boot time and if it's within 2 hours they've lied and should be held liable for the $500 plus interest including court costs and fees applicable to recovery

without a time limit, it is illegal to do what they did. throw the boot co owner in prison, this is extortion and kidnapping

Damn 😢😢😑😭😡😡🤬🤬
That's because you were set up. They have spotters roaming these parking lots all day waiting to jump on the radio to call the Boot truck
There’s a reason I carry a Sawall.
Total Shakedown, FT I would've gone to the nearest HD or Lowe's bought a Heavy duty grinder with a cutting blade😉😎
If law enforcement or a known agency put it on you will just be digging yourself a bigger hole.
Keeping you against your will. That’s a kidnapping
Angle grinder is cheaper 🤷♂️
You will be paying more after you destroy their property.
Angle grinder will work fine.
Exactly
No you will wind up with a huge fine.
Always carry milwaukee cutoff saw with you for this crap

And that I-285 Loop traffic is a BEAST!!
@@dwjoseph59 yep,u lose at least an hour or more.
I always felt safe over there on Anvil Block road parking at the Walmart shopping center.
Put that thing in 5th gear and give it hell
Any follow-up
Battery grinder and cut it off

Why are you guys not carrying a 4 1/2 battery grinder with a cutoff blade?
No respect for us or the jobwe do.

Theres a huge parking shortage in america for truckers. Not hard to tell why they parked there

Next time you have thoughts on robbing Truckers look at everything in your house they delivered it.

Extortion!
Union city and riverdale sre goog for this
2 hours is way to long to pick up a few items. I'm a trucker and I know it does not take that long to get your stuff and get out.
Hell u don't no what all he was buying fuck them booting people they trying to get money
