Do any of you put cones behind your trailer when at a lawn?

Ya good idea. :thumbsup: I know what you mean, but a pic would be cool for the people who don't.

I agree if I was doing occupied homes I would not use the driveway.


I really don't know how you can manage using a driveway to park in, my driveway is only 22ft long to the sidewalks and we can't block the sidewalks without getting a ticket.

In our area driveways range from you being able to fit 2 cars bumper-to-bumper, up to 3 or even 4, so they are plenty long enough.....but I would never do it, though, due to the fact people need to get in and out.

I have a three car garage so my drive is wider than it is long. With the truck and trailer together in the drive I still have about a foot and a half of trailer in the garage, if I pull the truck ahead to have the trailer fully out of the garage the nose of the truck would be in the road and as you can see I'm definitely blocking the sidewalk and could end up with a ticket.

You forget I live in the country. We don't have sidewalks. But I get what your saying.

A lot of my houses are on busy roads with speed limits over 45. And some are in very nice subdivisions. I have one I need to use four wheel drive to get up the driveway.

If I was doing yards in a subdivision like you do then yes I would park in the road.

A few years ago I did a subdivision we would park in a cul-de-sac in the mourning and go up one side of the Street and back down the other side and end up at the truck at the end of the day.

We use them always! We also do not park in any client driveways. If the truck leaks a drop of oil, a trailer ramp gouges their drive, spill gas on the drive, any little thing can be used against you. Our cones are marked with out business name, we have a friend who purchased military stencil machines and makes us what ever stencil we want. Then a little paint on the item through the stencil and your equipment is marked.
