Hello all, Hope you had a enjoyable and healthy summer.
Update on the Parking Lots:
If you had a spot in Any of the Parking Lots, your spot is guaranteed when you return. ONLY if your payment is in by Thursday September 1st. After the pick. Please return last year's permits and have any changes to your car or run number and bus number. We did not lose any spots.
ALL PAYMENTS MUST BE IN TO GUARANTEE YOUR SPOT BY SEPTEMBER 1st.!!!
CURVERS:
Carl will be in on Monday 8/29 and also on this Thursday 9/1 at 10:00 am to collect. If your at the yard before then, leave your payment and information in an envelope in the mailbox. The owners are in process of getting a liquor license and will reopen the bar. We should have parking for the year if they get the license.
Johnson Street Lots:
I also need payment no later than September 1st., to guarantee your spot! Both lots were full in June! As usual there is movement between the yards, and spots may open. As of now I have 4 people waiting to get in. I will hold your spot till September 1st. after that I must fill the (spots) lots and pay the owner. As usual it's the 1st month's rent, last month's rent and a $10.00 sign up ($110.). Please return your last year's permit and your updated information. I will make myself available as much as possible. Please call me if you're going to Sharrots or do not need your spot anymore.
Grace will still be collecting and will be there on Tuesday for pick.
I have been to the Johnson Street lots today and we are ready to go!
Any Questions, give me a call.
Remember your spot is guarantee up to Thursday September 1st. ONLY!
Thank You
Gary 106
Tell Carl there is no reason for anybody to come in Monday ... and probably not Thursday either (except possibly for dry runs). Wasting his time. Tuesday and Wednesday would be better.
Thanks Gary see you Wednesday

Good morning, Buzz, Carl needs to make his payment by this Friday as myself. If everybody leaves it in the mailbox this week when they come in to look at the runs or for their pick, he will collect it on Thursday.

Gar ... put it in the mailbox once, he never marked me "Paid." Good thing the envelope was still in the garbage pail.
He needs it by Friday ... fine, come in on Tuesday and Wednesday when we KNOW people are going to be there. Do you think anybody is going to go there today just to see Carl?
Buzz you bully !!! leave the poor guy alone he's trying his best to deal with Adults he has chase to pay the bills ! Thank you Gary for setting up parking for us .
P.S Gary throw Buzz out ,than see how fast he comes there to pay ! Welcome to the new school year 🤪😂 SS
No, LMAO ... it's your ass that's getting thrown out!! I'll beep as I go by you walking down from Lowe's lot! ;D ;D ;D ;D

Thank you LMAO, I do try to accommodate everybody's request. After the September pick it's really a lot of hours, I put in to set up who can park with who by their times in and out of the lots. I make many changes as the month (year) goes on, usually by the end of October its easier and I only have to collect the rent. As far as Buzz goes, he did pay Carl last year and his envelope was thrown in the garbage pail by accident (I think by accident?). Carl (curves) only wants to come in once a week for Jersey if he has too. I asked him to come in on Thursday also this week which he was reluctant to do but agreed and posted for everybody to put the rent in the mailbox. But as you read above someone wants him to come in Tuesday and Wednesday so he can sit in an empty bar all day waiting lol. He doesn't understand that 12volt across the street wants the lot for his cars (business) and is willing to pay as much as us, if not more! As you see today the lot is full of 12volt cars and was full all summer while we were gone. These are the facts and I rather not post it, nor get into the details or explain it. I only ask that everybody cooperates, so we don't lose what we have. Thanks Again LMAO
@Gary209 - Et Tu, Brute? @#$% @#$% @#$%
This is the thanks I get for letting you promote your business on my site ... FOR FREE!!

Your welcome Gary , Buzz I still love you !
Hey it was pointed out to me today that NEW No Parking Signs went up on Arthur Kill Rd near the yard and indeed new and expended No parking Signs are up near the yard taking a large portion of parking spot that drivers use to park so read those sign parking just got tighter so pay your parking dues on time or I'm sure someone will be glad to take your spot especially when winter approaches !
Well that was short lived ! We lost the Johnson st parking area this should be fun >:(
If we lost Johnson St. and if there are new no parking signs on AK road then someone should tell Neil to make a phone call to have those signs removed. I'm sure that he has enough influence to get it done. After all he has enough influence that he doesn't have to provide us parking in a private lot which by law I believe with the number of employees he has that he is supposed to. Apparently he found a loophole which obviously the city politicians or DOT executives know is Bull Shit.

What loophole? I'd have to see the law that requires employers to provide parking. I don't believe one exists. (Everybody that works in Manhattan is given a parking space?)
Our manager mentions being involved in Community Board 3. Maybe he should get involved in the "No Parking" bullshit which probably came about because of the Industrial Loop association.
I don't understand with so many business's on AK rd how do they eliminate parking spots? And what's going to happen when they film a movie again this city just doesn't want to make it easy to work here...
Yes, It's true we lost lot # 1 the big lot on Johnson Street! I found out yesterday morning from the beauty parlor on the corner. I called the owner, and he confirmed it. He said the property is for sale and is in negotiations with the owner (of the stores) on the corner. The store owner took over our lot for his employees and customers of the stores.
Tommy Pezz and I rode around over 3 hours yesterday searching for another location. We spoke with 3 other property owners and wasn't able to secure a lot. There is one other business that was closed yesterday which I will try to meet today if they are open. I will kept everybody informed by Monday how I make out, I will post it and call all members of the lot.
If I am unable t secure a lot by Monday, I will return all rents to those that have paid and lost their parking spots, by Thursday. I am trying my best to find a location that's reasonable.
As it is said "Business is Business" and the owner will do what's good for him.
I will keep everyone informed!
Thank You!
Gary
Didn't Tom retire?
I recall years ago (specifically about Pioneer) that it was said that an employer with over a certain number of employees was to provide parking and the way Pioneer got out of it was that Pioneer stated that it's employees all had different start times and end times. It was presented that all 400 employees don't all come in and go home at the same time and that's why Neil doesn't have to provide parking.
Wether this is true or just a BS rumor that someone started I don't know but I do remember someone saying it.
I would think that Eddie and/or Ernie would know if it's true.
Gonna be a lot of drivers starting their runs late with this parking issue ....
Bad News;
Our Last hope for a location fell through! I got a text that they DO NOT want to rent the property.
Everybody that already Paid can call me for a full refund. I should be home all day Saturday, Sunday, and Monday morning, if you want to come by and pick it up. Otherwise call me when your available next week and we can make other arrangements.
I like to Thank every parking member for the years we have been together. Unfortunately, I cannot fit everyone in a location at this time. Sorry I gave it my best shot. If any location becomes available, you will be the first calls I make for it!
I also want to Thank Grace and Tommy Pezz with their help on this. I also want to thank Buzz for letting me (us) use his site!
PS: Curves is completely Full at this moment. If there are any changes when school starts, I will notify the drivers.
Thank You
Gary
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Sooooo pioneer isn't going to try and accommodate us? This is ridiculous
Here a thought ! ( yes buzz I have some ) parking is going to be difficult to say the least so instead shaking down drivers for shuttle money everyday take two trip runs and make them shuttle runs for AM 5:00-630 & PM 3:00-4:30 ( something like that ) pick up in various locations around the yard and get drivers safely to work , this is something our new delegation need to address !
And to everyone who thinking "I'll Park in Loews " 🤔 you know someone going to mess that right up ! So people need to shut their mouths ,smile and politely accommodate any challenge from the people from Loews ( it's their property ) and don't park in front of the store they have said that in the past . Good luck 🍀

I've researched it before because I've heard it before. No such law ... unfortunately. Never made sense to me, though. Thousands of people in a company building in Manhattan ... where would the employer have them park?

So you're saying, instead of doing trips they will do an a.m or p.m. shuttle? It's thinking out of the box ... I'll give you that!
Regardless buzz there is no place these extra cars to park from lol...
This needs to be addressed to Owen who can use his "community board pull" or to someone else. This is going to make a lot of drivers late for their runs
They have a matron shuttle that is assigned to someone everyday .... Correct ?
QuoteThey have a matron shuttle that is assigned to someone everyday .... Correct ?
Correct. It's a little different. It's during his work hours and doesn't replace trips.
I like your idea, I really do, but I don't think any employer makes it their problem as to how their employees get to work. Just sayin'.
(Do you really think Pioneer cares if you park a mile away and take the 74 bus that stops right across the street? Be nice if that were the case, but I mean realistically.)
My last resort will be to park in the back of
Lowes take the long ass walk and keep my mouth shut.
I still don't get how all these do not stand signs all over Arthur kill rd make sense
Here's another good idea. Give Grace back the shuttle! I was never late to work. Even when I was running late, she would wait for me or come back and pick me up. I could always count on her!!! Not saying the other shuttle drivers didn't pick me up at times, but many days they just didn't show up. You just couldn't count on them. Even when you called them, they just didn't answer their cell.
I agree with WTF
You guys keep saying use the shuttle...the shuttle is no good if people can't park lol or driving all over to park
Quote from: Kid24 on September 04, 2022, 04:42:43 PMYou guys keep saying use the shuttle...the shuttle is no good if people can't park lol or driving all over to park
My thought exactly!!
You know Lowe's isn't going to last for long.
Why are you late for your run?
There's no place for me to fucking park!
Leave early!
All the spots are taken and I'm not sleeping in my car to not even get a spot lol
It's going to be a shit show is this doesn't get settled. There is no use to have all these no standing signs taking away majority of our spots even if we lost lot 1
Here's another "GOOD IDEA" how about if everyone is late and don't start there runs on time because we couldn't find parking maybe Neil or owen will use there juice to get us some street parking back.. this is fucking Ridiculous
Listen bottom line if people start between 630-730 there aren't going to be any spots. Every spot will be gone by 530-6. Most of us are going to get to the yard at 330-4 sleep in the car to the yard opens to start at 630-730. This is going to be a huge problem. Case in point I live in NJ, my first pick up is 7:02. I gotta get to the yard at 4am for a spot? Yea ok lol
Actually I know people from S.I. and Jersey who get here crazy early hours for a spot ... and that was last year before the signs went up!!
To make matters even worse, I'm told RCL, the auto body shop across from the prison, lost the little lot they used to use across the street so that'll be at least another 10-15 cars taking up spots on A.K. rd.
Perfect storm!
Not our problem at the end of the day...let it become a union and pioneer issue which is likely what it's heading for
Kid that's wishful thinking both of them don't give a fu(k about us
Well then I guess us drivers won't give a fuk if we are late for our runs because we can't find parking lol
As Saul (retired driver) used to say, "Heyyyyy .... we're just a number here. Nine, not even ten."
(Meaning social security number.)
The easiest solution to this is just become one of the Mechanics
Maybe we can write it up in the "defecting reporting room" can't fucking find parking for my car
QuoteThe easiest solution to this is just become one of the Mechanics
BINGO! Another instance of how they're regarded vs. drivers.
QuoteHey it was pointed out to me today that NEW No Parking Signs went up on Arthur Kill Rd near the yard and indeed new and expended No parking Signs are up near the yard taking a large portion of parking spot that drivers use to park
Exactly WHERE are these NEW No Parking signs on Arthur Kill Rd?
I looked today I didn't notice many spots taken away
Come on guys the no parking and no standing areas have been extended along with the entire curve near the skating rink ! Maybe you haven't noticed with your cushy parking spot across the street !
......Oh wait let me clarify it's Arthur kill after the yard going towards the skating rink I was talking about ! But either way if you park on the street you will see the shortage when everyone comes back .
Quote from: faceit on September 06, 2022, 09:26:19 PMI looked today I didn't notice many spots taken away
Depends what time you got there. Dry run days are a lot different than regular days when looking for parking
Parking just got worse on Johnson st. The owner of the land put up a no standing sign on the right side when you Coke down Johnson so nobody parked on that side
What does "Coke down Johnson" mean?

Not to ask a dumb question but how do you tell the difference if it's DOT or the owner? It's a green pole with a red do not standing sign. Another driver this morning said it looked like the owner put it up
Years ago any DOT sign such as a stop sign, no parking, etc. use to have the words
"Department of Transportation" printed on the bottom of the sign. I don't know if that are you still in affect.
Unless he got permission from the DOT to do so but how would we know ya know? It's straight up bullshit to take a whole side of the street

Don't report it to the DOT! You will ONLY bring attention to the block! Just take the sign down!
