Attention all!

Unless things have changed I thought Wal-Mart was one of the more truck friendly places around, at least they use to be. But anyway it's private property and I suppose they can regulate what types of vehicles park there if they want. They are also not the only place that sells groceries or perscriptions.

 

sounds like a new franchise for someone..... pharmacy's at truck-stops that are networked togeather............$$$ what an idea.

 

that would be a great idea, im on a few meds that i can't go without, that was one of my concerns going into this field.

 

Um, I see alot of trucks in alot of walmarts. Hell, some have lilke 20-30 dedicated spaces for trucks. I have a trucker directory with the locations of walmarts.

google "walmart truck parking" to find interesting articles for and against... and some organizations that are speaking up about it.

Also there is a book called 'the next exit' which lists walmarts. he can always call ahead and find out if they allow trucks to shop (NOT PARK)

 

I think I have stumbled onto something here....... I am a diabetic and more and more drivers are having to watch their health issues and take medications these days and prescriptions have to be filled.

 

The WalMarts in the Midwest region will let semi's park in the wayyyy back parking lot, hubby hasn't had an issue yet when he's had to do it... sometimes WalMart is more convenient than rest stops or truck stops (even though I boycott them regularly, good place to park)

 

tell him to drive his truck around back and park it then shop. as long as he isnt blocking another driver or anything else. think the managers will give a ####, most likely not.

 

Yeah this is right on the money. It is the city codes that are to blame, not the company. There may be a very few instances where Wallyworld has banned big rigs on a temporary basis due to problems with their lot, but get real here, they want our money as much as anyone else's.
