I want to ask for some advice. I was sleeping on my sister's couch before i started truck driving due to me losing my job and condo. I decided to sleep in the truck instead because I have more privacy here being that she has two kids there, friends that frequent, neighborhood children come to pay with the kids, a fiance, etc.
So i park in the one place in my hometown that doesn't give truck drivers shit for parking. Walmart kicked me out after threatening to tow me. So a bunch of us (around 9 or 10) park here every weekend.
I'm this photo there is a homeless guy that is parking in one of the spots another truck used to park in. The homeless guy isn't even from this town. He's from Asbury but he stays here in brick NJ because the truck driving school he supposedly goes to is right up the road in Lakewood, it's called Smith and Solomon.
Three weeks ago he knocked on my door at 7 in the morning after i just parked at 2am coming from upstate NY. I asked him what he wanted and he said that he wanted me to move my truck up a bit so he could see out the back of his RV.
I was pretty pissed that he would wake me up for some stupid shit like that! Eventually i just accepted that he is an asshole who only thinks of himself and started talking to him. That's how I knew he is going to Smith and Solomon and that he doesn't work and lives in his RV with his dog that he chains up outside all night and morning next to my landing gear.
I drive up from Virginia and parked around 7pm and he came out and i just brushed him off because i had a feeling he was going to ask me to move my truck up again and i didn't want to. Mind you her was gone for two weekends staying he was going to give this spot a break. I came back after an hour long massage and he knocked on my door again but i just ignored him. I went to bed around 9pm and he woke me up by aggressively knocking at 10:30pm.
This is when I decided to call the cops. They came and he voted his reason for repeatedly bothering meI want to ask for some advice.

This is when I decided to call the cops. They came and when they came over to my truck and his RV they said he probably keeps knocking because they idling is loud. They told me to go in my truck and they would speak with him. He cited his reason for repeatedly bothering me was due to the noise which he definitely heard them say. I am willing to bet money that it was because he wanted me to move up again. I have been idling next to this asshole for more than a month now and her had never complained once. Now i have to shut my truck off at night and sleep in the heat or detach and take up another spot so that i can idle.
What does this guy think will happen at the truck stops? There are going to be a lot of trucks idling and regening all night. What is he going to knock on all of the neighboring truck doors and ask them to shut their engines off?
What can I do in this situation? What would you do?
