    They’ve always had signs up that said no overnight parking. I highly doubt they will ban truck parking

    On any given night there are 40+ trucks parked there. It looks like a truckstop from the interstate. I'm actually surprised it took them this long to crack down. I can only imagine the filth that their employees have to pick up every morning.

    Yea. Sadly a lot of places are going this way for trucks and even Rv's. So it's not just a pick on a trucker thing. Unlike you know..RI's truck only tolls.

    Main reason for rv's is -
    People camp out there. Like longer then a day.
    People leave their trash.
    People don't spend money in said store's parking lot their staying in.
    Don't ask the manager on duty for permission.
    Act like idiots.
    Act like idiots to paying customers.
    Treating a parking lot as a campground or dump.(It needed to be said twice)
    Dumping black tanks in parking lot. Wtf people...
    Taking up spaces for paying customers
    More I'm sure

    For trucks...
    Trash
    Noise
    Attitude with others(truckers or customers)
    pee bottles
    pee
    Take up lots of space
    don't shop in the store whose parking lot they are staying in.
    Poo bags and or just poo.
    More I'm sure.

    Neither list is far from finished. Conclusion though is simple...the bad, idiot, #######, non-commonsense having, lazy, rude, an so on an so forth types of people ruin it for the folks who play the game right.

    One bad apple spoils the bunch...gets everyone banned from overnight parking.

    Sirscrapntruckalot - I'm suffering from withdraw of tacos.

    Local Walmart here doesn’t allow overnight truck parking. I’ve seen the manager knock on sleeper to leave while I was in my car. Pretty soon they’ll all be that way

    Illinois Walmart hit with $50,000 fine for allowing truck parking
    A Walmart store in Springfield, Illinois, is facing tens of thousands of dollars worth of fines for allowing tractor trailers to park in the store’s lot.

    Last Wednesday, city officials in Springfield approved a measure to impose a $50,000 fine to the Walmart Supercenter store at 1100 Lejune Drive, according to reporting from the State Journal-Register.

    I am surprised walmart allows trucks on the property at all considering most are there just to sleep and have a dump in the parking lot.
