It was the DC in La Salle, TX. Pulled the same stunt at the Dollar General in Ardmore, OK. Both times it was female security guards and I'm quite charming when I need to be.
has parking always been this bad?

Dude wally world literally sells a square black trashcan that fits behind the passenger seat. It's too simple not to throw stuff away the right way. I just stop for 30 seconds at the dumpster every few days at a truck stop and dump my trash where it belongs.

Ditto. Up by 4 AM, but preferably 1 AM. Leave a spot open for someone else late at night. Shut down before 6 PM, but preferably 4 PM. Be at a shipper by 9 AM, and onto the next 400+- load and be at a place to crash by the time you run out of hours. If you do this right you get to have the best parking spots and have already showered and eaten before the rush. That's awesome!jacquesi23, BostonTanker and LindaPV Thank this.

No it hasn't always been this bad but a lot of nasty filthy drivers have ruined many a parking spot. Having been OTR for a number of years now I have a lotta mom & pop trk stops I eat and sleep at..company might be able to tell me what chain trk stop to get fuel but not eat & sleep..me I hate the big chain t/stps .. once you've been out for awhile you'll find places to park up and a lot of the old t/stps have real food not crap pizza 2 pieces for 5 bucks..be careful out there driver..G13Tomcat Thanks this.

Actually they give away trash bags for free... their shopping bags. That's what I use. About once a day I toss a full bag in a trash can. I hang it on the drivers seat, in easy reach. I do have some large trash bags, but those are for sweeping trailers or other large tasks to keep parking areas clean.Bean Jr. Thanks this.

You want to be parked before lunch is over!!! Lol! I've seen where some of the bigger chain truck stops are SLAP FULL by 3pm!!!

I've done this quite a few times at lowes Home Depot you name it.
They never said a word.
Woke up next morning an off I went.
Even managed to park at a bass pro shop once with a load of railroad ties an nobody ever came knocking. Lol. -
