A new law prohibiting the parking of large trucks on personal property has gone into effect this month, leaving truckers living in the area at a loss for what to do.

The new law went into effect on January 1st for those in the Macon-Bibb, Georgia area. The law does not allow commercial vehicles and trailers over 8,000 to 10,000 pounds to be parked at homes in the area.

The law affects truck drivers, RV owners, and more. The law also applies to semi trucks and trailers left in public parking lots such as shopping centers. Drivers in the area say the new law does not leave them with a lot of options.
