    Same here. I live 2 miles from my local Walmart but drive 25 or 30 miles to shop at the other ones. I live in a great neighborhood but mine is the last one in the township and it borders the city so the local Walmart is terrible. Plus I don’t want to see people I know. Not interested in chatting with people I used to know.

    Walmart shuttle business for truckers, monthly membership fee or pay with card on shuttle, nationwide access, major cities, hourly shuttles. Why hasn't it been done legit?

    These people wanting to create parking lots for truckers could get in business with them.

    They don’t shuttle everyday shoppers. Why would they cater to us? nobody wants to deal with truckers. We don’t make up enough of their business to worry about. I’m a trucker and I don’t want to deal with truckers. Maybe 10-15%. The rest are awful.

    Why wouldn't they? Making money is the American way, we got uber/lyft and others similar. Do you deal with crappy shippers when you are getting paid money? I bet you do truck driver.

    Oh yea truck drivers are "special needs" please halp uz.

    LOL. What Im saying is it’s not worth the hassle for the return.

    And look around. Truck drivers are very special needs. This thread is an example of that.

    never parked in one, never wanted to.

    don't like their business practices

    shopped at a large grocery store with a big parking lot.

    actually most people think we all go home at night.

    had a women ask yrs ago, "why do I need a truck that big to ride around in all day"??? o_O
