Parking at Wal-marts

What is late to you, could be very early to another.
Well, other way 'round, I suspect.

Still, I agree with you.
Don't abuse the privilage of a parking spot because you are too lazy to park correctly.

 

I think the best plan would be to ensure that you are completely out of the travel lanes, just as you would any other parking lot. I have found that If I am BT I can make the tractor fit in two spots if you park across them like you would a car. Although you get funny looks when you do that lol.

 

mostly it will be a discourteous driver that cant back up Last night parked right beside a truck at the 83 diner in york pa next guy parks in the middle of the lot ruining parking spaces on both sides. i shudda moved my reefer unit within feet of him and left it on continous

 

Our walmart is posted, but as long as you park out of the way, and don't trash the lot you won't have a problem.

 

Most Walmart intentions are to allow truck parking, shop and leave. Some think just because they allow that they can make a truckstop out of it and take their 10 hour break.

I always followed the truck delivery route in and park on the side. Having worked on an asphalt crew before, I know many times the car area is a much thinner layer of asphalt than the outer boundries to save construction money. A hot day loaded, spinning them tandems sidewards and one can do some damage.

My visits to Walmart was to bobtail from a truckstop while empty or stop enroute to pick up prescriptions.

I know a few Walmarts that have "No Trucks Allowed" signs all over and you still see trucks there. Why??

 

I always call them and ask. Sometimes there's a city ordinance preventing it.

But they usually tell me where to park. Usually in the back

why you ask,because many truckers see those no trks allowed signs as only suggestions.As long as the walmart supervisor does'nt come out and tell them,they'll continue to park where they want and do as they please.Ive seen signs that say no trk parking violators will be fined or towed and trks still ignore it.Not me,I see signs i'll go elsewhere.

 

the supercenter in seymour, in is truck friendly.....in fact, when we do the d/h at the distribution center up the road and the T/A there is full, the gaurd at the DC will tell us to go there we are welcome to park there......just pull off to the side of the lot and don't be in the way and never have had a problem there....and usually 5 or 6 parked there at any time. doesn't hurt to at least go in and buy something as well while you're there just for the courtesy of having parking and being left alone. usually can find something i need for the truck
