    Has anyone ever had issues parking at Walmart stores and taking 10 off? I never stopped there for that long.

    I haven't, but my brother (flatbedder) has. He's had security run him out. I'm not sure all of the Wal-Mart stores are that way yet. He also told me they are putting arches in the entrances so that trucks can not get in. This is not Sam Walton's wishes. Years ago, before Sam passed away, he was fortunate to talk to him. Sam loved the trucking industry and truck drivers. The B.S. of shutting the trucks out comes from his brats, that inherited the corporation.

    Here's the policy for RV parking. They don't have one listed for truck parking ...

    Q

    Can I park my RV at a Walmart store?

    A

    While we do not offer electrical service or accommodations typically necessary for RV customers, Walmart values RV travelers and considers them among our best customers. Consequently, we do permit RV parking on our store lots as we are able. Permission to park is extended by individual store managers, based on availability of parking space and local laws. Please contact management in each store to ensure accommodations before parking your RV.


    With that said, here's how to find the Wal Mart store where you would like to park ...
