I suspect the people who literally tear through our narrow residential street daily, don't work for any particular company that would have such equipment. Furniture delivery truck that nearly hit a golf cart, didn't even had ANY identifying information on the door of the truck ! Same with the lawn mowing people, I don't think any one checks on them or even cares, as long as they get to as many places a day before dark as possible. Just the way it seems to be here !? If a person does not like it, don't think there is much that can be done. Same with the lawn care people who block entire driveways, then refuse to shut off their equipment and move their truck until they are finished ! We had that happen in our neighborhood too.
