I have not liked Wally World for years, mine goes back to the way we are treated at their warehouses, up to and including being chargded to unload their freight. I complainded in a Texas warehouse years ago and was informded that all the lumper fees went to charities I should be proud. They didn't understand that if I wanted to donate I'ld do it in my name and not in Wally's name for his glory. So lets see to sum it up we're charged and treated like trash at their warehouse but you all are upset they treat you like trash at the store, what am I missing here? I hate wal-mart have for years refuse to shop there only in diere need. My wife loves wal-mart but don't want to go there with me. All that being said we are our own worst enemy with drivers trashing any place they stop, look at the ramps or any where else trucks stop at. it's hard to blame folks for not wanting to pay a emploee to pick up your pee bottle

when that Wal-Mart first opened and i seen majority of that parking lot full with trucks, i said yep, only time will tell when they put them 11'6 poles up... sure enough last week, coming south, i look to my right and seen them installing them on the spot... Ironically tho you don't have to pay to park at the Petro anymore.. at least when i stopped in on Thursday night

I have parked at Los Lumas several times with no problem. I wasnt there for a 10, but was there for several hours.
I always buy some groceries when I park at walmart. I always ask for the manager when I am checking out and ask them for permission. I think one time I was told that I couldnt park there. Even the Wal Marts that have signs saying No Parking give me permission. I never keave anything behind unless it's in a trash can. I have an APU so my truck isnt idling. I always park out of the way towards the back of the building.
At Los Lumas, i am always told to talk to the guard. The guard normaly tells me to move the truck every 30 mins. No biggie since im not sleeping but either waiting for appointment for a load after delivery. -
Almost 4 years ago when I started this thread about WalMart being unfriendly I should have considered it from their point of view. We complain about not enough parking when the drivers are leaving not only trash but human waste in parking lots , along ramps , Shippers and Consignees and unluckily the list goes on. This past weekend before pulling out I spent 20 minutes picking up trash around where I and many others park over the weekend.
The next time you see a driver throwing his trash on the ground say something to that driver I plan on it , We should be thankful to the folks that still let us park in their lots and try to help them out by keeping the lots free from our trash and not destroying property. Rambling on again but you read Read about the lack of parking all the time and they want you to call your senator and so on. How about starting on the ground floor and picking up after ourselves and those that don't point it out to them what they are doing .A friendly phone call to a safety dept.with a truck number might just be a wake up call to someone and help us all in the process.
Merry Christmas to all and your Families.

Please, please, please , When you see someone in these Walmarts throwing their piss jugs and trash on the lot take a picture of them and there trucks and lets expose these people , Why should we suffer for their stupidity.
A few days ago I was in Belen NM at the Walmart because I25 was shut down due to the Ice and accidents on I-25 , everyone there was neat and clean no trash on the lot, Could have been cause the Security was driving around us all the time and I'm sure if anyone had thrown anything out they would have been told to pick it up .
We have to go back to the Old School days and help each other, so please send those pictures to my website www.mytruckn.com and help stop the crap Thank You for Your help other Drivers will thank you and so will our Families that shop at Walmart... -
A while back a read a post by a woman that had an RV parked at at WalMart . A semi driver next to her set a bag of trash on the lot next to his truck . She went and got it and tied it to his trailer doors .
nascarchuck and scatruck Thank this. -
Now that's clever
-
Sad thing is, said driver probably just went down the road not knowing it was there..
So in turn they spread the trash along the road.. -

I need Your Help Pictures and Comments of Pigs In Action.
Waiting to catch Highway Pigs or some people call them Truck Drivers throwing their trash on Walmart Parking lots. This is not saying that its just Truck Drivers.
Oh no I have seen Mom's throw their babies diapers in the lots as well and just lazy people pitch their food wrappers, cups , cans, empty cigarette packs and lets not forget those piss jugs.
Just look along your streets and highways and parking lots at all the trash.
It has to stop or You will be exposed.....
