    Alternatives to Shopping At Walmart

    UNTIL Walmart, at the corporate level resolves the issue of providing clear and comprehensive policies and solutions for their large truck driving customers, which includes a CLEARLY defined and marked area for parking, a CLEAR and REASONABLE time frame to use that parking while shopping, compensation for those truck drivers that have been punished (towed, booted, ticketed) because of corporate’s reckless handling of the situation, we’re asking all for a show of support. Perhaps corporate will listen if we talk to their bottom line revenues – they don’t care at the local level and they aren’t listening or care at the corporate level.

    The largest shopping season of the year is upon us; we ask that instead of purchasing your holiday gifts from Walmart, spend your money with another retailer like Amazon. They have competitive prices, will gift wrap most items, have a superior product guarantee and return policy, ship your purchase anywhere, you save fuel, and you don’t have the hassle of crowded stores, making a trip to the store for a sold out item, and long check out lines. In addition, we ask a show of support by making your regular, weekly purchases from other local retailers and online merchants. In some areas, Amazon and other retailers offer delivery of groceries and other products, sometimes in just a few hours after they’ve receive your order. BEWARE – shopping online at Walmart.com is a VERY BAD idea. It’s another area Walmart needs to clean up.

    Alternatives to Shopping at Walmart

    Visit with your local retailers and determine what you can purchase from them instead of Walmart. IF you have to shop at a Walmart, check with the store manager and determine IF they allow large trucks to park and shop. The objective is impact Walmart's bottom line until corporate resolves this critical issue.

    Or you know, park in a legal spot made for trucks. I.e. travel plaza, truck stop, rest area, etc. Walmart should not have to shoulder the burdens of your poor trip planning!

    Drivers need to realise that just because a truck fits, it's not a legal place to park!

    Have you seen the rates Amazon compensates Owner Operators to haul its ridiculously cheap freight? You expect me to support them? LOL... Some of the stuff people come up with these days...

    Walmart doesn't need truckers business anyhow, it's not worth it for them.

    You steering wheel holders trash the parking lot, all so you can go in and buy a couple packages of Ramen Noodles to heat up in Pilots microwave...

    I dont think Walmart will miss you...

    All of the above. Get a life and learn how to be a professional.
    Walmart owes both you and I exactly jack s###.
    Why not include Home Depot, Lowes, Tractor Supply, Kmart, Sears, JC Penny, Caballeas, or any number of big boxes?
    Grow up.
