Apparently when your storage truck has information about your facility on it, then it is no longer considered to be a truck by our public servants in zoning, it is considered to be a sign, and therefore can't be visible from the street unless you apply for and pay for an annual sign permit for the truck.

So then I asked how to apply for a permit and how much it costs each year...to which I was told, "Well you can't get a sign permit for it, it's a truck!"

sigh..................


To top it all off, I CAN have U-Haul trucks in my front parking lot, because
U-Haul isn't our primary business, we just can't have the storage truck up front. So then I ask him how come the U-Haul Center up on the corner a block away from us CAN have their U-Haul trucks out front, since U-Haul trucks ARE their primary business. Didn't get an answer to that one. Guess it's less trouble to aggravate storage facilities then to take on U-Haul Corporate.

So anyway, my point is, those guys are definitely earning their paycheck....NOT!!!!
