    A bobtail is not any more special then a semi,no overnight trk parking means ALL TRUCKS and a bobtail is a truck..If Walmart let bobtails park there then 18wheelers are going to think they can do the same thing.Some places does not want their lot to be used as a truckstop.If you see that sign then respect it.There are many places to park bobtails other then Walmarts.

    And there are Walmarts that have the sign posted and it still looks like a truckstop in there. The one's in Katy and Sealy Tx come to mind. That's why I always check to make sure.

    I know it some can't read.I on the other hand take those signs seriously because I don't wanna get woke up in the middle of the night by an officer with a ticket or by Walmart employees,

    Okay but define "trucks"
    could be a garbage truck, a pick up truck also then or how about a Cement mixer truck? lol

    Does that mean I can't park a Ford F-150 pick up "truck" overnight either?

    If you park where trucks tend to park or near a no overnight parking sign then Walmart could mean you as well.But if you park where the 4wheelers park,they won't even give your pick up a second look,Walmart will just think you're shopping.Nice looken pick up by the way.
