Not that simple. Where do you park something of this size? Hmm...and still be within a safe distance from your money pickup?

Where are the guards supposed to park and still be close enough to limit the guards' time out in the open.

You forgot a question mark. Here you go.

If the city would:

- eliminate free parking
- charge fair market value for parking (where else in Manhattan can you get such cheap square footage)
- enforce parking violations

There would be more curbside parking space and people would not need to double park in the bike lane putting cyclists lives at risk.

Back to my question though, where are the guards supposed to park something that large and still be within a safe distance?

1-800-888-2129 They will make you wait forever, and when you complain, the operator will tell you that they are abiding by company policies.

I guess that would make you Lancewo4's "boy" also. Are you sure you're comfortable with that?

I'm an armored truck driver in Maryland, and all I can say is..Cry some more.
For one, we can't park in the middle of the street.
Two, we need to be as close to our stops as possible [I've got a family at home, you really think I'm gonna risk my life more than necessary? No].
Three, you could take your bike to the left and walk around the truck.

If you can't park in a way that keeps you safe as well as others around you, then maybe you should rethink if it's responsible for you to be driving a truck around all day. In the words of Garda's Joe Gavaghan,

"Trying to justify minimizing the danger we face by putting other people at risk is not an acceptable way to operate"
