    I get irritated when I see trucks sleeping/curtains down/idling in a Wally World lot, gtfo shop and leave so others can get there stuff too. I park, immediately go in and get what I need and just leave to a "real" truck parking stop. Why, cause I am thinking about the next guy, sometimes I wonder why though.

    Not to be a jerk but the best way to tell if a Walmart has truck parking is to see if there are trucks parked there. I forget where but it's in Illinois on the way towards St. Louis is a Walmart that has parking lot spaces marked for RVs and semis.

    Many that do not have parking will have signs telling you No Overnight Parking Allowed. In some cases I just needed to run in and pick something up so I'll park back by the docks and make a quick trip in and out.

    If it's a large Walmart just off the interstate (easy to see if trucks are parked there or not) most likely you can park there. If it's off the beaten path or it looks difficult to get into/out of, just keep going.

    Make sure you are presentable............go in and ask the manager nicely. I have never had them say no; even when posted no parking etc.

    Went ahead and rang them after I made my post, no problem just park down the back. When I got here already 5 trucks here, not a Supercenter so you cant get any fresh meat. Good place to park !

    Most WalMarts on the west coast you cant park at. Most of the WalMarts in the Mountain and Midwest states allow truck parking except in large metro areas.
