Nevada truckers group warns of 0 fee as parking options shrink

LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – Nevada’s Hispanic trucking community is warning of a potential $500 delivery surcharge starting July 1.

Drivers are calling it a “growing parking crisis” if Clark County does not address it.

Several truck yards across the Las Vegas Valley, including one located on Las Vegas Blvd and Nellis Blvd., are being forced to close due to zoning violations.

For Nevada truckers, the truck yard is a safe space where they can leave their trucks and head home for the night after their shift is over. But the Nevada Hispanic Truckers’ Association said recent closures and aggressive enforcement of lots are making it nearly impossible to operate in Clark County.

While the crackdown affects all drivers, the group says Hispanic drivers are hit hardest because they make up the majority of independent owner-operators in the region.

“The problem is that there’s not enough parking for the,” said a spokesperson for the Nevada Hispanic Truckers’ Association, Dunia Antunez. “So, they’re being given tickets $500 to $800 tickets for parking in residential areas or streets.”

Starting July 1, the group says it will begin charging a $500 delivery surcharge to companies receiving goods in Clark County, unless action is taken.

“The county commissioners must stop closing down this long-term parking and they need to build more actually, because we have too many truckers, we don’t enough parking,” Antunez said.

But Clark County Commissioner Tick Segerblom, whose district includes the yard in question, said this property was never legally approved for this use.

“They have lots of violations, code violations, cause it was not zoned for business, no business license for that that be of use in that neighborhood,” Segerblom explained.

Segerblom said the neighborhood around the yard is changing and industrial zones are now giving way to homes.

“It’s really because of the diesel fumes, big trucks going down neighborhood streets is not healthy in my opinion,” Segerblom said. “You wouldn’t want to have a truck yard in a in a residential neighborhood.”

He explained he’s sympathetic to the truckers and promised new policies are in the works to create legal, regulated yards in the right locations.

“We want to make sure that the lot is paved, that is appropriate area, that that requires a special use permit,” Segerblom said.

Segreblom added that these new rules could still take months and said if someone brings forward a properly zoned location in his district, it could be approved sooner but for now it’s a case-by-case basis.

Nevada reaches settlement with Hyundai and Kia over anti-theft technology

LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — Attorney General Aaron Ford’s office says Nevada and other states reached a settlement with Hyundai and Kia for selling cars that lack industry-standard anti-theft technology.

“Hyundai and Kia did not meet their responsibilities to the public and created a public safety issue by neglecting to use industry-standard technology on their vehicles,” Ford said. “I strongly urge any impacted Nevadans to make use of this settlement agreement to install these safety measures and, if eligible, to seek monetary restitution.”

As part of the settlement, the automakers agreed to equip all future cars with the anti-theft technology and offer ignition cylinder protectors to owners or leasees of eligible vehicles.

In statements, both companies affirmed their commitment to work with law enforcement to combat car theft.

According to a media release, consumers who previously installed the software update on their vehicles (or were scheduled to do so) but nonetheless experienced a theft or attempted theft of their vehicle on or after April 29, 2025, are eligible to file a claim for restitution for certain theft and attempted-theft related expenses.

For more information about eligibility and how to submit a claim for compensation, Ford’s office says to visit the following:
