    A lot of places now have city ordinances against any truck parking. Doesn't matter if you're on private or public property. One place that I delivered to, the city didn't want them to park their own delivery trucks there. They had to park behind the building out of sight or get a ticket or towed away. I feel your pain. Just don't do it again.

    Am I the only one surprised that this happened in Easton PA of all places? I often see guys parked at the Tuttle Crossing (Dublin, OH) store at night, where there are tons of signs posted. I'd expect to see trucks bothered at these suburban locations more than one in a small town. Maybe it comes down to where more revenue is needed.

    Suggest getting Allstays ONP Walmart app. If in Easton, Pa, clearly states NO Truck parking.

    Whipper: Next time you hit this area, go 400 feet west past Burger King and park in the dock at my new employers store (AKA Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board's Wine and Spirits Store). I'm done with driving at 65 now, no more unloading, just getting loaded from now on. Plus I get 30% discount on all stock. May start my own Uber Boozer delivery service here cause I still hold hazmat and tanker...
     
    Knucklehead and freightwipper Thank this.

    Nope. Those out parcels in big shopping are considered part of the center. In most cases they are even deeded as one property owned by one firm or leasing the space out. If you look at the over head view pic that was posted you see its an out parcel, not a separate location.

    Actually many RV'ers are buying used bob tails and are using them to pull big fifth wheel's. I'm looking into an rv and have been on the rv forums lately and this caught my attention. There is even a special section for these folks and they claim you do not need a commercial license to drive them. Pretty cool how they do it, remove one axle, build a custom bed and install a different fifth wheel with its own suspension. Pretty sweet setups

    Kinda the same with all of your responses. Here, let me predict your next comment on this thread:

    FW: "yeah I got a good load for $1.68 to the truck, light load, and drop and hook both ends"

    Spyder: "thats a terrible rate. I get $4+ a mile minimum and I have brokers calling and begging me to take their loads. In fact I turn down $5 loads on a regular basis because I'm just that good. I work 2 days a week and make $250k a year."

    The signs were around the walmart lot, on the ticket it was referred to those sign and I was at "walmart" but I was a whole lot close to the burger King that's for sure.

    Question of the day!
    If every sign means exactly the same thing why do they bother to even produce different signs?
     
    Knucklehead Thanks this.
