    There is a truck stop in Peru,Ill Crazy D's on I-80 mm75 that I would like all driver to boycott. The Owner told my company (Wal-Mart) that since we don't buy fuel from him that he doesn't want our trucks on his property. We all truck stops told drivers to leave because they didn't buy fuel we would have alot of empty truck stops.

    Why should he allow NON-PAYING customers crowd his parking lot, when PAYING customers might not have a place to park after they spend their money?

    Should McDonalds let YOU park in their lot while you walk across the street and eat at Wendy's?

    We did buy from him just not fuel, do you buy fuel from every truck stop you stop at?

    I think everyone should boycott Wal-Mart. They may have a liberal policy of letting drivers park in the lot... but try working there. They are the reason I'm contemplating going back to driving a truck.

    In the last year working for them, I've made a whopping 11 grand. Woo hoo! Now I'll be able to afford that Lamborghini that I've had my eye on. NOT!

    Ya know what I love about Wal-Mart? Maybe it's the low wages... or maybe it's the way they kick your self esteem in the dirt...

    When I stop for the night, the FIRST thing I do before I park is fuel up, at least the reefer. So the answer is yes.

    Go back to driving a truck, that way you can afford to buy two or three Lamborghini.

    Besides, he has the right to say who parks there....or who doesn't. If you don't like it, take your business somewhere else. Real simple solution.

    I traded for my Lamborghini, did an even swap for it.

    (And no, I am not joking a bit. I do own a Lamborghini, have owned it for about 10 years now.)

    Heck goDRIVE for Walmart - I've talked to several of their drivers who claim they are making 65k plus per year. Hmmm, not for me - I like my weekends off!
