    The Walmart in Beloit, WI across from the Pilot has put its foot down to truckers. There is no more truck parking allowed at this location. I stopped tonight to pick up some stuff and when I came back the police were there kicking people off the lot. A big thank you to the ####### drivers who ruined it for everyone else.

    I just stopped there yesterday had no problems.
    There was six other trucks parked there no trash laying around.
    I did see a no truck parking sign on the way back to my truck that I didn't notice on the way in with a no ideling sign beneath it witch I thought was kinda odd .
    I wonder what actually sparked the police action.

    You now have drivers that will throw their trash out on the ground. I think it will not be long before it will be like that everywhere.

    Hi joseph, welcome to the Badger, (although, I think, this is catching on, like thelushlarry sez.) Perhaps this gal in Arkansas ( with the old Ford) has some powerful friends in the Walmart organization. ( who's stupid now?):biggrin_2559:

    I hope these steering wheel holders get booted out... Not saying I'm anywhere near perfect, but at least I respect the places I park.

    I personally cannot say that I've ever been to a Walmart that has given me any issue (yet) and I haven't seen any trucker trash. I hope this isn't becoming a trend, I like parking at Walmart. So many TS are overcrowded or just plain tiny. I've lost count the number of times I've smelled pot upon waking at any TS. Oh, and most of their food is about as unhealthy as you can get.

    That's a bummer. I used to like parking at this walmart, so I can avoid the cluster at that dirty pilot up the street. There's also a Jimmy John's, a Qdoba and a few other restaurants within walking distance... There's always a bad apple to spoil the bunch and ruin it for everyone else. Filthy pigs.
