Maple & Main

Curt is Chicago native - but don't hold that against him. After stops in Madison and California, he moved to Waukesha in 2004 to open a downtown business.

Just Need Some Shut Eye

 This guy is a master at parallel parking.

7:50 AM Thursday. Downtown Waukesha...

While out on my usual early morning dog walk, I took notice of a large car hauler parked in the private parking lot of Waukesha State Bank.

Two ideas popped into my head when I saw it.

Idea One: Waukesha State Bank employees are now car pooling.

Idea Two: This guy was looking for a place to sleep while hauling his cars back to Chicago. I guessed Chicago because the cab on the truck reads, “Fast and Furious Transport- Chicago IL.”

And while the bank parking lot may be an inviting place to catch a nap in the evening, it is swelling with bank employees at 7 AM every morning. So unless they are early risers, truckers should be aware that the WalMart parking lot off highway 164 may be a better choice for a snooze.

With that being said, the matter at hand has now been turned over to the Waukesha Parking Authority.

The driver of the truck, who was fast and furiously asleep in the back of the cab, was awaken by bank personnel and asked to move.

But instead of doing so, he has chosen to crawl back into the rear of the cab and finish his nap.

Funny.

Rumor has it that the driver does not speak English, which is fine when you are driving long stretches of American highways. Right? (Topic for another blog).

No worries though. Waukesha Parking Enforcement was on the scene by 8:20 AM and the issue has been resolved. The truck has moved and peace has been restored to the downtown.

Now I can finish my bowl of cereal and read some real blogs…
