Half the time those trash cans are already full because the management sent the maintenance crew home early to cut payroll so their management bonus checks will be bigger.scottied67 Thanks this.

The least competent and most useless employees at any Walmart are salaried management.
southtruck Thanks this. -
don't Get in that bind.Northeast you'll have to cut your hours short depending on the day so u can find a parking spot.I have never had any trouble finding a spot to park for the night.trip planning does wonders.

Ok fine then keep your trash till you do find an empty dumpster.There's no valid excuse for not throwing garbage away in the appropriate place and outside on the lawn isn't it.gentleroger Thanks this.

Not in a bind just replying to wise cracks with wise cracks... Most people plan ahead but there is times i'm sure you can plan until you are blue in the face and parking can be an issue. I've seen the PA turnpike get backed up for hours because of accidents quite frequently for an example so there goes your planning right out the window.NavigatorWife and pattyj Thank this.

You find the closest truck stop around midnight and hope to god someone is running off recaps that night.
Or just sit near a the fuel isle somewhere and watch for spots. See that a lot too. -
Get yourself a truckstop book and stay at the mom and pops , there is parking available late . It's amazing how people will all cram in at a loves and leave the mom and pop across the street empty
pattyj Thanks this. -
Circle the lot like a vulture. But yeah plan ahead...everytime I get sent out east, I start my clock really early just to find a stop before 1500. Tomorrow it's gna be worst and I'm already trip planning to stay at the customer at 1300 because I know it's gna be bad

I do see what you're saying we've all been in that situation.George Washington Bridge was horrible and I'm pretty sure it hasn't changed since then When you face backups you plan accordingly for the next time you have to drive in that area.You get out in the northeast,chicago,los angelous,make sure you have alot of hours to work with and can make it someplace to do your ten.If you have like three hours left and Just going thru NYC there's a good chance you'll run out of hrs long before you find a place to park.NavigatorWife Thanks this.
