    But see common sense would have to be used because of the different words all mean the same thing and any and all drivers should know this with no exceptions

    You would make that assumption if you were in your pickup truck pulling a Uhaul trailer?

    I wouldn't.

    I'm not talking about in my pickup. I'm talking a truck and trailer for example California hay haulers with the cab over trucks with 24 foot flatbed on the frame pulling a 24 foot pup trailer

    Yo have a very thin chance of beating this parking ticket using your argument that you are not a TT due to no trailer. It could be argued you are an RV because you have a bed.

    The sign didn't say no Semis which a semi is a tractor trailer combo. The sign did say no tractor trailers. Technically you could win on that but the sign also said no RV which are typically large vehicles.

    So if they are gonna ban large vehicles how do you justify parking your large vehicle in there?

    Things coulda been way worse, they could have booted your truck and shangaied you for over $500

    Walmart sucks anyways..... Shop elsewhere !

    And @freightwipper has plenty of money so fight the ticket. Justice may be blind but she's not cheap !

    The sign does not say "no RV parking", it says "no overnight parking for RVs."

    There's no minimum posted speed limit signs on most highways, I sometimes like to go 1mph and watch the pile up unfold behind me. If it's not posted in black and white, then it's completely legal here. Lmao!
