I understand, which is why I pointed out, I make it a point to stop in, and ask for a manager to see if it is okay for me to park..if they hem and haw, I move on...but that's me. I don't subscribe to the old adage "it's better to ask forgiveness than ask for permission". It would be nice however, if truckers didn't have to feel like modern day lepers. It would be nice also, if the truckers that are making it hard for us to park places because of their inconsiderate actions, would stop..but I'm probably wishing on a star now.

Don't think so much of yourself.
Being a driver myself, I'm well aware of the supply chain and our part in it.
That said, if you fell off the planet tomorrow, the world would continue spinning. As it would if I did.dunchues, Long FLD, kemosabi49 and 1 other person Thank this. -
The walmarts thst do allow truck parking do it as a courtesy but the last few years the clowns in this business are ruining that in many locations because they ignore ignore signs like no trucks up front yet they do, i.e.Lexington,NE.
they leave trash, and instead of bringing the carts back to a nearby cart corral they leave them scattered across the parking lot where they end up getting damaged by drivers who don’t bother paying attention anyway….
Walmart doesn’t have to allow any parking for trucks except for ones that are delivering there.. -
Lol this thread was really just to let others know not to park at the Marshall location, I normally keep my truck at a Walmart / Home Depot when I’m home and I agree, some drivers just are absolute slobs. The owners of their mall are beyond cool and allow trucks park there - often for weeks on end without problem.
When I’m home I’ll clean up the area we use for our trucks, it of course attracts drivers who see trucks parked there and are just passing through so the regulars try to keep things tidy. It amazes me how many people won’t take the few extra steps to clean up after themselves, but hey that’s people now a days. I’m just thankful to have a place that works with truckers - it’s a lot better than having to pay for parking.CAXPT, Coover and drvrtech77 Thank this. -

I'm a customer also. With a special need. Just like a Handicapped, or Pickup only, or Shopper's with Children (saw a sign for that today) or electric charging area (we have those)...so why is making accomodation for me such a thorn for some drivers to understand?
This is why I take the extra time to ask permission. Some of them, aren't aware of some of the rules that we're subject to, and this lets them know if they don't know, why I'm asking permission to park there.
That said, if I fell off the planet tomorrow it may continue spinning, but I'm not concerned with tomorrow...I'm here today, with a need to park and shop. Tomorrow will take care of itself with another 14 hours for me to worry about.drivingmissdaisy Thanks this. -
What is your 'special need'??
