    Did I say the GWV of a Tractor Trailer weighs 17,000lbs?

    I stated Bobtail Tractor.

    That may have been what they meant, but that's not what's printed on the sign. If that's the case, then they should've simply worded it "no truck parking".

    I think the best shot would be CRE or Carolina Cargo then after a year or so maybe Western Express.

    I don't know why you guys continue to think Wal_mart is the Saviour to parking diulemma's.............

    As you can see..Its getting harder n harder to park at them overnight.....As so it should be, If you work for that much of a pizz-poor carrier that doesn't have yards or proper parking-Or If you own a truck and didn't THINK things through properly on where Your going to be parking......Well, I don't feel bad at all.

    If your on the road away from a Yard or your Home- Use a Truckstop-A Motel with truck parking or a rest area- Shopping Centers are Getting Tired of the Messes...And so are the general public.

    Sorry, But its getting to be a real eyesore seeing 53 foot clumsy trailers parked Everywhere!!

    They weigh about the same empty.

    This could very well go another way, with a 6 wheeler parking there and getting wrote up for the same reason as Freightwipper did. Now, are you going to try and tell us that somehow the words "no tractor trailers" somehow includes a 6 wheel straight truck, or that "anyone" would make that assumption based on "common sense"?

    Have we seriously got to the point that everything has to be stated in black and white? We can't use a lil common sense and see a sign saying no tractor trailers and think hey I bet they don't want my bobtail parked here either. But I guess your right after all McDonald's has to put "caution hot" on there coffee cups so the slow kids don't burn themselves.
