    Can verify this but I heard about someone drilling a small hole through their windshields right where the suction cups were to relieve the suction. Said the thing came off. Would like to see someone try that.

    Charlotte is a crap hole, liberal run, sanctuary city. The people in charge hate trucks. The main goal of the city council and mayor is to find ways to get money from the people that do work so they can build something, and buy things, to give away to those that don't work.

    The city has gone through major changes over the past 20-30 years, and not for the better in my opinion. High crime and murder rates, ect....

    Their Facebook page has been taken down. For being in business less than 2 years they have a lot of BBB and other complaints.

    I did my part. I left a bad review on google and called their office and told them they were a bunch of thugs. I think EVERYONE should leave a review on them. It’s not much but we should push back anyway we can.

    I would consider just breaking my windshield out of my personal vehicle If one of those were on it. Heck, Minnesota and I’m sure other states have no deductible class coverage. Cheaper than paying those crooks. Lol.

    Just gave them rotten review on Google Maps.

    Regarding Walmart parking... why does Rand McNally even bother indicating “overnight parking available” on their gps devices? More often than not, I get there only to discover signage indicating absolutely no truck parking. Where does RM get their information, I wonder...
     
    TheLoadOut Thanks this.

    Think outside the box. i.e. get an industry trade group to finance a billboard.
    Truckers don't park and eat, or shop in Charlotte. Predatory towing practices.
    Just an example, but you get the idea.
