"No overnight truck parking" What if you are a bobtail? or a garbage truck?

Call and ask

 

Go ask the manager for permission. I have done that before. They didn't let me stay but knew of a place I could park at a restaurant 1 block away. Bentonville,ar

 

Just park there bobtail, make sure your tail is facing out, it will make it that much easier for the wrecker to hook up and tow you away while you sleep!!!!

Seriously though, most of the Walmart no truck parking is due to local laws, call and ask the store to be sure. With a bobtail you should be able to find quiet parking almost anywhere.

 

Go buy something...then ask manager with bag in hand.

 

Stayed there once at the closed up stores across the driveway from walmart.

 

Good question. As far as I know, if there is a "No overnight truck parking" they don't want trucks to be parking there overnight, period. Even though your BT takes up minimal parking, they put those signs up because of zoning ordnances and because they've had problems with disgusting drivers trashing the lot. If you want to play it safe, just go inside and check with the manager.

This summer I was parked at a WM in Virginia that had posted signs, parked under a Walmart trailer (dedicated). The two trucks next to me woke up to find $15 parking tickets on their windshields but the po po left me alone (courtesy of WM since I was pulling their trailer). Long story short, even if the manager says yes you still might get a ticket.

 

I have stayed at Bentonville walmart not too long ago. I even called and got permission, you just got to be intimidating I guess

 

In Williston, ND they have HUGE signs all over the parking lot warning trucks will be towed. Good luck finding a parking space between the dozens of trucks!

Normally I'll call ahead and ask. Use Google satellite view to see if other trucks are parked and check out the best way to get in and out. Often it's best to park behind the store, out of the way of any trucks needing to maneuver for deliveries and out of the way of shoppers.

 

Wait...that would require common sense and courtesy! Have you not noticed what year this is?!?
