No more Cabelas

I heard they are no longer allowing overnight parking at that location due to drivers leaving there trucks there to go home for 34 hr reset

 

If you plan on leaving your truck for a restart it would be much better if you asked permission from the manager or owner of the property. I have done that a few times and it has never been a problem.

 

Sad that we truckers have lost another place to park

 

I wouldn't be surprised if actual truck stops started denying overnight parking. Surely there cannot be enough profit in running a truck stop to put up with drivers dropping their garbage our the driver's side window and asking for a radio check for their pretrip before they leave.

 

Drivers, please take care to not do anything to offend the Cabela's in Fort Worth, TX.

 

I will say it again. Why does the trucking industry automatically expect someone else (Walmart, Cabela's, private property ("empty lot"), on street parking, etc to accomodate and pay for a business expense that should be borne by the industry itself?
It would be like the neighborhood car dealer parking 30% of his cars for sale at the shopping center next door because he doesn't want to buy the real estate, pay to improve it, maintain it and pay taxes on it. That would not be tolerated.
Cabela's is smart enough to provide truck parking for customers to shop in the store, because lots of their customers are truck drivers. Those facilities were never intended for overnight or 10 hour breaks. What a surprise that an abuse causes this reaction.

 

Hijack....

Most these Cabela's and Bass Pro Shops are built using local tax dollars. Then most the store gets classified as a museum and they don't pay property taxes on that part.

 

I have seen trucks towed from that cabellas... read the signs, NO overnight parking is posted. There was no driver present for the trucks I saw towed.

 

at least they still allow you to drive in there and park to shop. not banned trucks from ever parking!
