Now I’m pissed

Any progress on this?
No ….. busy as hell…. The cops never came ….. when the township said they don’t care about what I do to protect my front yard….That’s all I needed. I will fix the mess in the spring….. the weather has been brutal….. township calls and says they will replace the post when the weather gets better.

Start with equipment auctions. You’re gonna want a Komatsu D355
 
To add on to Stray's thinking, you should consider ventilation for the motor as well. You don't want it to over heat.
And the hardware store has a basement
 
I know a guy that got tired of his mailbox getting smashed. He was a machinist at a large tooling factory. He got a piece of scrap 3/4" thick steel & bent it in a U shape. Then took the red flag, door & back side off of his old bent up box & put it on this piece of steel he welded it to a 10" dia. concrete filled 1/2" thick pole. After that he had to paint over the scrapes & paint marks but no one smashed his box again. LOL
 
Get one of those old concrete supports for the cable style guard rails. Box it in put mailbox on top. ( did this after 3 mailbox strikes at one house)

New mail box may not survive a direct strike, but you will get satisfaction in the end.
 
You own the property and have a business license. Turn that spot (and the rest of your lot) into an hourly parking lot. $35/hr.

Buy an eBay "fixer upper" Bayliner on a trailer and park it there. Maybe plant a palm tree in it.

Turn a couple squeegee kids loose on them.

Pay someone to put in a really wavy sidewalk that a truck can't ride on without tipping over and slap a sign on it saying "Free community skateboard run".

Put 5 pay porta potties in that spot.

Skunks or fire ants would do the trick. I'll leave the logistics to you. I'm not sure how smart the truckers are in that area, but you might be able to paint some white stripes on black cats and fool them.

A very large picture of Kamala might keep them away.

Put a sign up with a picture of Lizzo that says "No parking here unless your rig weighs this much.". That'll eliminate most of them.
 
Progress …. A post. The township even cleaned up the old mail box debris

The mess

With this view, (1st pic) I would think a big fat high long curb, although not cheap, would not only solve your truck problem, but would also divert some excess water and help with the grass regrowth and preservation.
Yep, with land mines on duallys width in from the curb
