Dc? If so all dcs will not let you park on their property. Store? Up to the manager or city ordnance laws.

Do they have any signs posted regarding overnight parking, etc.? I was just at the Walmart in Muscatine, IA last week for a day's parking, and they had signs posted saying, "No truck parking".... yet there were at least a dozen trucks parked for their 10's and there were no hassles.
At any rate, thanks for the heads up regarding this particular WM. -
It is a store. They send there security around to run us off. It has signs just like almost all Walmarts THESE days. Sam didn't do us this way.
-
There is no city ordinance and here's the twist. One of my companies driver's in our truck pulling a Walmart trailer gets to stay.
-
Yeah, and used to be we didn't trash up their lots, back over signs, park just any old place, etc. We have caused a lot of the parking problem ourselves.OldDude50, Lepton1, dogcatcher and 11 others Thank this.

Yes, I think if more drivers were more considerate of the parking PRIVILAGE there would be fewer objections.
I mean, how hard is it to put your trash in the TRASH CAN?
How hard is it to go into a 24-hour store to pee, instead of doing it on the lot? Or to use a bottle?
How difficult is it to simply be responsible and courteous?
Or is that TOO much to ask from slob truck drivers!!!???77smartin, blairandgretchen, drozzer69 and 2 others Thank this. -
Its pretty simple. Shop where drivers are supported, avoid those places that don't. I believe we ought to support the places that provide for us. Its the only way they stay in business. I know they may be Walmart, but they need your business too.
And yes, not trashing the place with litter and carelessness helps.NavigatorWife Thanks this. -
Stores I can see, but the DC's are a shame. They should let us park to get a break when they run us out of hours. I had plenty of time once to get unloaded and then get to the nearby TS but they detained me for 6 hours and then I couldn't drive. Jerks tried to run me off, but I stayed.

The company driver pulling a walmart trailer was dedicated. Most stores will let you park if your doing such that. The dc's, sorry to say, will always run you off. Its a warehouse and logistics center, not a truck stop. The DCs have more going on at times than the stores do. It is also a safety and lose prevention issue.
Now for the stores security, that as I said before is up to the manager, property owner and city. I have to agree with Moosetec13.blairandgretchen Thanks this.
