Disclaimer * Walmart doesn't own the plazas, We just gotta stop parking at Walmarts
exactly
depends on the walmart.
Truckers used to park at them regularly when brothers sam & bud walton were still alive. But nowadays, wal mart is a big corporation thst doesn't care about outside carriers. They only want us to bring & deliver their frieght & get the hell on!! Wal mart won't even allow outside carriers to use their sibgle axle scales at their d.c.'s anymore. The wal mart/sams club corporation doesn't really care about outside carriers, other than delivering & picking up their frieght.
yes Walmart trucks are always able to park at Walmart parking lots because they have it in the contract
you could park your semi overnight at a Walmart depending on the store and depending on the way you park, some Walmart actually have areas for truck parking
Don't blame walmart at all , this is thanks to a bunch of nasty truckers
I remember about a Walmart on the Southside of San Antonio, Texas where they used to let truckers parked there to go and get what they need until a big dummy left a jug of pee pee on the parking lot and Walmart banned truck drivers except delivery drivers at that location immediately.
i can walmart is heavily subsidized and truckers pay taxes to walmart or any business getting government subsidies that evern truckers pay into they should no longer get them subsidies
i support free market capitalism not crony capitalism no sir
I tell you who leaves a mess , those guys from India leave a poop whenever they park not only Walmart but everywhere , even garbage can 10ft away
There is no such thing as “free market capitalism”.
Keep believing that if it makes living with corporate monopolies better.👍
I dont park nor shop at walmart. Stop supporting walmart.
20 percent of the freight in the US goes to and from a Walmart
WTH? What's up with Wal-Mart!? SMH.
Not everyone can do that. People in small towns have to go there or nowhere. Walmart ran all the small grocers out of county.
Can't afford to shop anywhere else.
It's obvious you don't think. Other nasty slobs caused this. How would you feel if someone threw trash and piss bottles on your property. How does anyone know you are part of this problem. anywhere?
What I don't understand is why truckers trashed the place wherever they parked, trash bags and piss battles. I'm 15 years otr, never do that.
I know how hard is it too walk too the garbage can?
back to old school, see something, do something.. old timers know what I mean
Bastards piss all over the porta potty seat every time
And it seems that they might understand that it's a bad thing to do since it seems that they make sure no one sees them leaving trash around, I've never caught anyone doing it
It’s all the new Americans
I'm a Walmart Driver, and there are some stores that even we can't park at.
Safety related and lack of customer parking spaces?
Wow!!!! Really
@@supertruckertomhas nothing to do with it.
That is dam crazy
Walmart driver here as well and you are correct.
I’ve been driving for 35 years, and from I have personally witnessed, it’s the drivers that cause shit like this to happen, new and old drivers can be quit nasty
You got it right brother 👍🏾
I'm thinking you meant quite nasty and yes as a driver with 40 years behind the wheel you're definitely correct.
F Walmart. They have mostly masked democrats with bad attitudes towards people who don’t do their little virtue signaling!
And before anyone responds, they proved that masks don’t work! It’s nothing but a sign saying you’re a pro death democrat!
Some walmarts have parking spots for 18 wheelers with painted lines on the ground designated for big trucks. Stay away from walmarts next to truck stops or the ones that constantly get 15 trucks or more parked there overnite constantly or the ones that say ABSOLUTELY no truck parking. The walmarts that are way out of the way of normal truck routes are where I parked when I was truck driving. They always let the walmart Trucks park at any Walmart from what I've seen. Or if you got a Walmart load in your trailer some will let you park overnite. It useto be in the past ( 2015- 2010 on back) you'd park at your typical Walmart and and there'd be only 1-3 trucks parked there overnite. And as the years go by there's just more and more trucks out there running around and clogging up parking lots. Then here comes the booting assholes. I'd park at Walmart to not have to listen to those annoying, loud, vibrating the ground refer trailers parked next to me so I can sleep quiet. But nowadays here they come into
Your typical Walmart making there racket overnight there. Glad I'm not truckin' and dealing with that crap anymore. There just not creating enough truck parking to match the the ever increasing amount of trucks out there.
I can understand this to a certain extent. If these truckers are doing what they do at rest areas like urinating in the parking lot shitting in a pizza box and throwing it out on the ground, then I wouldn’t want them in my parking lot either. Too many Third World country drivers who just don’t give a crap about anything and living in filth is a way of life.
They use suction cups, a pressure change will get it off. Just use your defroster
A slim jim or a long flat piece of metal can release the suction cup windshield barnicles too.
@@_KarlSdrill through it
It’s a scam. Cut it off!
I got a battery powered angle grinder in my side box for this lol
a door jimmy will work, just break the suction and it comes off
@@SannarClaushm that’s a great idea actually 😄
Walmart driver here. We are not allowed to park at all stores. Most times it’s city ordinance that gets you in trouble.
I’m a Walmart driver and there’s some stores we can’t layover because city noise curfew because apartments and houses next to the stores complaining about trucks with engine running all night long.
Nasty truck drivers are making a bad reputation for us all. Clean up after yourself in the bathroom and throw your trash in can or dumpster.
Shut up
As a trucker I understand the filthy nasty drivers that dump their piss on the floors shit on the floors literally even though theirs a trash can right there and reuse their pee jugs it's nasty
Most Walmart sites have not only banned parking of trucks unless doing shipping to them or shopping for limited time periods, but also banned campers from their parking lots. That is due to crime, noise, filth, too many homeless or traveling workers too cheap for a motel, taking spaces from customers, discouraging customers and liability risks.
Truckers boycotting NYC, Denver, & all Walmarts, I will boycott in sympathy.
So truckers are boycotting because they're mad about not being allowed to park at places they're not allowed to park at?
Seems pretty stupid.
Subjective. As with so many things.
I remember nar 20 year ago parking at one, got there about 0300. There were about 6 or 8 trucks there. Woke up about 0800, and all were gone except one. The lot was trashed. Trashed. Piss bottles, the whole nine.
So, gee, can't imagine why they don't like truckers.
I personally have never had a problem. But I'm very respectful and thankful of someone's property, when I'm caught short, and need a place to shut down.
i don't overnite park at walmarts or places that is clearly not truck parking, i go in and shop and get the heck out, and I park in a way where I'm not in anybody's way, unlike most truckers who park dead smack in the center of the car parking lot, smh
I usually look around for signs to make sure it’s not marked and make sure I am not near the front of the store or block any cars. If there are signs I do the same, get my stuff and get out.
Yeah. If I do park at a Walmart, it’s out of sight. It’s sad to say but some drivers don’t have any respect and has messed it up for the majority.
I was in orientation at national carriers in 2014 they had a video showing us a walmart security cam of a national carriers truck driver literally shitting in the parking lot . So just like bucees , i dont blame them for not wanting trucks on their property .
I don't blame stores for not wanting truck drivers on their lot. I've watched them trash the lot and tear up the curbing and landscaping. If it was your property you wouldn't tolerate it either.
Our walmart in Princeton Ky does NOT mind if there's just a few trucks.
If you have to park at a Walmart, make sure it's the only store in the parking lot. Just to be safe or see if there's enough room. In the park in the back without blocking the docks. That's your best bet if you have to park at a Walmart.
Usually on the East Coast. You don't have as many problems. With Walmart, as long as it's a superstore, not one of those small ones. Always ask the manager and check for towing away signs.
Don't park in back, there is very limited room and the access is for the vendor's and walmart trucks, not parking for OTR
Because of idiots littering! Im an a**hole but I don't litter
Me to
@pooplips best name i ever seen😂😂👍👍
It’s not that I was told after paying a fine that a trailer and truck was abandoned it was full of illegals and some died and family members threatened to sue so they settled out of court they don’t want over night parking at their locations even though some have truck parking it’s still going to be an issue in the future
thats the least of it. here in cali if semis are on cretin properties during late hours the land owner is fined $5,000 for 1st offense.
I appreciate the honesty
When I was driving I always had all the necessary tolls to remove any type of boot, regardless of the type.
I go to Walmart to shop not to take a 10hr break. I never had a problem. I park at truck stops, rest areas, shippers, and receivers.
And some truck drivers camp out at a Walmart in West Memphis, Arkansas instead of going inside and get what you need and go.
@@KenneJ-bu7rr maybe they dont have hours to "go"? trucker life is hard man, imagine having to prethink and plan where you are going to stay every night, sometimes wondering if you will get a knock at your door in the middle of the night. it isn't easy.
@@KenneJ-bu7rri know that one, that walmart only allow 2 hour parking limit
I am about to start my 40th yr of driving, I parked at a Walmart once in Lexington, ne that Walmart has truck parking and the drivers are so nasty the way they treat someone else's property. Oh and that night I stayed there ,I shopped there.
@@koolerstream921not that hard to plan
I went through this at a Walmart and Walmart did not call!!! Had management get involved and the police. These ppl are privately owned and they are doing this at private lots in general. And getting away with it if you pay them.
I know exactly why they don't want trucks parking on their lots! They litter and clean their trailers out in the lot! I have seen it and can understand why Walmart does this!! Clean up your act drivers!!!
@@jks3849that makes no sense what you just typed. I would advise you to take a basic English class.
I am a property facility manager and it costs a lot to maintain the parking lots. Especially asphalt because they get destroyed by heavy vehicles. Plus it takes up space. If you are in retail space means a lot. Would you be ok if drivers started parking in your front yard. Some truck drivers are too stupid to understand the maintenance cost. Why do you truck stops charge 50 to 70 cents more per gallon. To help maintain their property.
More than half of the people booting the trucks are scammers, there are also towing companies charging insane amounts of money that have been taken to court for operating without a license. There are walmarts that used to allow overning parking, but some nasty drivers ruined it for everyone.
90% of this is the TRUCKERS fault: like MothaTrucker said “…trip plan trip plan” 2) The property owner has to post visible warnings signs or it illegal 3) quit being nasty and cheap you can reserve a spot for $16-30 nationwide at Pilot, TA, Petro etc. YOU GOING TO LEARN TODAY $500 is a nice pinch on the arsh!!!!
@@andrelong2506not gonna be long and you’ll be paying for parking at Loves too. One of their mechanics was telling me about it a couple months ago that paid parking is in the works.
@@RiZenAsHmaybe it has something to do with the old owner/ceo Ted love passed away in the last year or two and new ownership combined with truck driver trash trashing their lots are deciding to do paid parking now with new ownership
Is has nothing to do with being cheap nor wanting to pay for parking, the fact is that we are not getting a better or worse service by paying for parking, the are facilities that won’t even salt the parking when iced, nor provide security (extra), plus the increasing/difference in cost of weight stations, showers, diesel, etc.. it bleeds your take home profits/salary, every dollar matters for an owner op, but it does affect company drivers too.
I worked security at a lot of places that dealt with semis, including a truck stop a few times. If a few truck drivers ruin a good thing, they ruin it for all truckers. And the more it gets escalated, the tougher it gets for truckers.
It's not only trucking. America is turning to crap.
Truckers aren't welcome anywhere as an x-trucker ❤your videos
specific walmart locations are break stores and not. All neighborhood markets are not break stores, and some stores has noise ordinances and not even walmart drivers can park there. But we have our list of stores that we can park at, and also we have specific areas where we can actually park rather if its in the back or in the front. Most guys that arent walmart drivers will park however they feel, and want and it can be a issue based on how the store is located and what the city wants. But in our list of stores we can break we have break instructions on how and where to park.
@@georgiapatriot4575 the reason they dont have the information is because they shldnt be there. Its simple. The only reason why drivers wld park there in the first place is because drivers saw other walmart drivers there and now its getting out of control. Walmart has been the number 1 retail in about 14 years without u shopping there and one of the best and highest paid private fleets with or without me. Im confused on your comment. So you are basically saying since 4 wheelers shop there they shld sleep and leave piss bottles and trash on the premises?
This is why I prefer the Family Dollar account. If I can't find a park, there's usually a family dollar around I can park overnight at. It's not just Walmart. Most plazas hate truck drivers parking in their lots, even when an abundance of space is available. It's crazy, they would have a business without us.
drivers now dont care. they trash the parking lots.
That is nuts
They don't trash the one I see.
@@sl4983 ive seen them do at walmarts in Illinois. trucking. sucks now
There are a few easy ways to remove the windshield thing without causing damage. There are rules on parking, towing, booting things that probably require signs posting the rules. Do a search on the rules and legalities of being booted and removing the boot without paying.
Should be BOYCOTTING WALMART. I STOPPED HAULING THAT GOES TO A WALMART 💯
Wow it's called highway robbery 😮
Another reason Walmart has started to build stores with truck access only in the back is truckers tend to drop bags of trash and piss jugs and bottle if not bags of shit outside their trucks.
As a Wal-Mart Driver i can tell you that there are stores we are not authorized to park at due to noise ordinances etc. We don't layover at Neighborhood Markets nor some smaller Sam's Club. We have a Wal-Mart Break App in our tablets that tell us what stores we can layover at along our route. I have seen other company drivers come in the wrong way and jump curbs or break branches on trees etc. I have seen them throw there trash out in the parking lot. I have seen them urinate in the parking lot as well..DISGUSTING.However,most mornings when i wake up there are plenty of Otr drivers on the lot,no one bothers them.
I took a 10 at a walmart multiple times with no issue. It was the same store each time and my delivery was 1 mile away from it and the closest truck stop was 88 miles away
I will say truckers work hard. I respect that.
Thank you for the info.
I don't know where this Walmart is but I heard Bowling Green mentioned in the story so their rules include a private company boot device/immobilizer can't be installed if the owner is at or back to the vehicle on a private parking lot before booted. Max fine $100.00. Cars for sure but I'm not sure about trucks over 10k pounds . There also must be specific signs in specific locations warning drivers about parking and fines.
Get a food delivery app and order all ur groceries but if I go otr take a drill and drill a hole in the windshield or buy ur own windshield boot and put it on 😂
Some Walmart have a contract with the towing company. They don't boot Walmart trucks. It happened to me in Kentucky.
F... WALMART DON'T SUPPORT THEM AT ALL
They can’t even tell the full truth about their CDL positions.
If you ball your fist up, and look the Walmart door greeter in the eye, they won't ask for your receipt.
Walmart drivers can park at any Walmart store. Except for the Naborhood Markets.
Walmart in Sidney, Nebraska, still let's truckers park there. Again. If you need parking. Roads going closed or tired. In Kimball, Nebraska. East exit. Go north. Over hwy 30. Trucker parking. Yet. Nothing there but the parking lot. A bounce. Kimball has a taxi service. Get the number. If you need the grocery store, etc. If they will pick you up. You have a way to shop for supplies. Taxi is only I believe Monday threw Friday. Day time hours. They run from Kimball to Sidney and to Scottsbluff.
I remember taking rest breaks at some Wal-Marts and Sams after delivering. But that was over 15yrs ago when i worked for schneider...
Buy yourself a makita grinder with a cutoff wheel battery operated and have several batteries that will cutoff any boot off.
I stop at walmart every other week all over the country. I make sure it's towards the end of the day for the store, and i park as far away and out of the way as i can, in a spot that i know for a fact i can pull out of without disturbing anything or anyone. Never have had an issue doing it that way. Ive seen it happen to people. Typically when it does it turns out to be they had been at a store that doesn't allow trucks because of local ordinances and were in their truck parked for +3hrs.
I had this discussion with Walmart some time back.
Here is the deal: Some Walmarts own the property and they have the righty to say if trucks can park there or not. Their decisions are based on trucker behavior. A few ruin it for all. Walmart claims that big trucks tear up their parking lots including their cart corrals and leave their litter. I don’t blame them.
Some Walmarts lease the land from the city. And they makes bucko bucks on booting trucks. A tow truck comes out and boot your truck, then knock on your door and tell you that you must pay or they will not remove the boot. They sit and wait for payment, they do not leave. Some of these fees are in the thousands. It is the city.
This happened to a friend of mine and they locked a BARNACLE on his windshield and they stayed to ascertain that he did not remove it. He looked around the parking lot and there were several trucks and an RV with a barnacle on their windshield. The family in the RV parked there because they could not afford a campsite. The man was going to bust the windshield, but the tow truck driver would not allow it. They were screwed, as the city charged a daily rate.
They were given NO NOTICE or gave them a chance to move. This is predatory.
This was in Kansas City.
Trip Planning is part of why I get up around 0100 and am on the road no later than 0230 is so I can pretty much take my pick of parking spots and if all the truck stops are full I make sure I have enough time to get a bit further down the road to a rest area. So far I've been lucky enough to not have to get creative with my parking but who knows how bad its gonna eventually get. They need to start making more truck parking around the larger cities.
If these drivers are doing what they do at rest areas like throwing there trash out on the ground instead of placing it in the designated trash cans, urinating outside the truck because they’re too lazy to walk to the restroom. I wouldn’t want them in my parking lot either.
I have seen driver's do that in front of women and children believe it or not. I saw a big fat ass driver open the door of his truck and pour a whole gallon of piss out in a rest area parking lot, right in front of everyone. Nasty people man it's disgusting.
I dont stay overnight at Walmart. I would rather take my chances on a ramp. If I go shopping, I hang a sign on my window stating so. Haven't had an issue yet on that part.
Man respect for truckers just gone downhill can't even buy food anymore for your trip it's all these younger managers and office people stepping on the guys making the wheels go round
I quit going to Walmart a long time ago, but when I go to the grocery store I park behind the grocery store where big trucks are designed to be.
yes. walmart drivers not always allowed to park @ walmart in some stores. we have a list about that. NO BREAK allowed.
Lexington Nebraska Ogallala Nebraska you are welcome there
I got a boot in Dallas walmart just for parking for 3 hours, after I spoke with an employee who told me it was ok to park there. He tried to charge me $500 , ended up paying $300. The hell with Walmart
😎 I park at Walmart very often!👍you just need to know where and most of the drivers are dirty and dirty, they piss in bottles and leave their piss in the parking lot and leave oil and other garbage from the car!!! Who will clean up after them later? they will destroy everything possible, islands, carts, flowers, they will destroy the grass and I am not surprised that Walmart reacts this way! I usually park at the back where deliveries are made, not at the front where there are passenger cars, I do shopping and I don't litter, sometimes I sleep and no one bothers me!
The walmart near me there was 3 or 4 trucks there earlier. They are cool with trucks parking there but there wasnt any trash in the lot or poop bags and pee bottles. I'm sure that helps
😂 poop 💩 bags
If I park at a Wal-Mart, I park in the back behind the store. Never booted.
Times have changed and so will your luck. Be on the look out for that small little bitty White SUV with the white fluorescent. Most City Ordnance are putting up new Lil bitty signs that state in City code, you will be booted day or night!
Many Wal Mart Home Depot. LOWES, PetSmart Mgrs do not mine you parking even if you're not delivering to them. For instance, City Ordnance in Texas will fine each store $1500.00 per semi truck parked in their store plot front or back. In addition City Ord will have Code Enforcement ticket you, a private boot company boot your truck and within two hours call a tow truck come get your truck. The fines, your bill only increases from there.
It's madness out here these days. Sometimes, these stores are the nearest and safest places to park for our pickup and or delivery.
Lol it's not Walmart 😂😂. It the city and town there in doesn't want trucks parked there.
Exactly: many drivers are not aware of this fact!
It is City Ordnance/ Code Enforcement per town.
This is at Williamsburg,Ky exit 11 in Ky on 75 they will definitely boot you
Man, it’s so easy to take that off. All you need is a flat extremely flat piece of metal and push really hard on the suction and it will come right off. Trust me I know. 💪💪
We park at the Walmart in Goshen Indiana as they let us park there. This is the heart of RV manufacturing. Our yard is literally behind the Walmart. Only a fence separate the two yards. They have a large Mennonite community living there and Walmart even provides horse barns for these people to park their buggies.
I don’t do overnights at Walmarts but personally never had an issue running in for groceries
When we had a civil society,when a driver witnessed another driver being disrespectful they would tutor the uncivilized driver.
If the offending driver was not receptive to the rules of respect, there was a lesson depending on the tutoring drivers skill set.
They would reinforce the offenders' idea that others appreciated and continued the privledge of what comes with living in a civil society.
It's usually not "WALMART" itself. It's the local governments "PARKING ORDINANCE."
I had a walmart manager tell me it was okay to park my bobtail truck that's close to my house, but the city ordinance said otherwise.
Yep, it's a zoning issue. Walmart has no say in the matter.
I shop in walmarts & sam's clubs only when i'm home & in a car. I stop the 18 wheeler in them for only one thing: a load delivery or a load pickup & i get the hell on!! I don't even park in them after a pickup or delivery; i always make sure i have enough time left on my 14 hour clock to get outta them!! Last time i parked on the street at a sam's club dc, it cost me $200 that i had to pay the local police department, never again!! Once again, i get in & outta all of them!! I'd rather keep my hard earned money in my damn pocket; THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! #IJS
When I was otr I used to stop at a Walmart off of I-5, Williams California. It was easy off and on, the parking lot was large enough to get around. There was ample space around the edge where no one parked so there was great parking. I never spent the night and I would leave within an hour. The last time I stopped there was 2 one gallon milk jugs full of urine left in a shopping cart. There were two light pole’s leaning way over from trucks hitting them. Broken curbs and landscaping all tore up. Trash all over where the trucks park. That area of the lot stunk of urine in the hot sun. I never stopped there again. And after seeing what truck drivers have done I can completely understand Walmart not wanting that on their property. Along with that will come the prostitution and drug dealing. Make no mistake, there are a significant number of truck drivers using dope. I’ve seen a lot of guys fail drug tests in my 24 years as a CDL holder. I would like to see hair follicle drug testing done on CDL drivers.
I use to drive for CR England on the Walmart fleet delivering frozen, dairy and thier meat and produce Walmart drivers and anyone contracted delivering there were always allowed to park overnight for as long as they please.
Im sure theres some fools who go to walmart everynight for a 10 hr break.i would only do a early morning shopping stop.in my 3 years driving maybe slept at a walmart once
We need an Anti Trucker Hate Law to protect all truckers from all disturbances and scams ⚖️⚖️⚖️⚖️🤔🤔🤔🤔
In Marysville Washington the Walmart store off of I5 is on Tulalup indian reservation land the tribe doesn't allow ANY ANY ANY vehicle parking even during the day unless you are a customer of the business! Period
There's some reasons WalMart doesn't want trucks parking at certain stores:
1) If a Walmart is in a mall or plaza, Walmart doesn't own the parking lot and has zero say in how the mall runs it. Malls usually don't want trucks parking there overnight because of insurance liability issues.
2) A certain group of truck "drivers" are little more than pigs. That group leaves their trash everywhere (don't look in the cab or sleeper 😱), and someone has to clean up that sh!t.
3) Often, it's the local municipality that has bylaws saying where trucks can and can't park - and overnight parking at stores may not be allowed under the local bylaws. Even stand-alone stores where Walmart does own the parking lot might not be able to allow trucks to park there overnight due to local bylaws.
Right now, I am parked at a Walmart in Paris, Kentucky, been here since Friday, I pick up my load tomorrow. This is Walmart owned land. I come here often. You just got to talk to the store manager. Be careful though, managers change shifts and have different views.
Our Walmart here allows parking but only few park and they dont theow trash everywhere or block traffic.
There are a lot of Walmart stores that allow truck parking and some allow overnight. I generally don't because I refuse to shop there but on a few occasions have had no choice due to weather. In those few instances, I will go in and buy some supplies for the truck.
That being said, I will never trash their lot because my parents properly potty trained me as an infant.
When Walmart goes to the cities for permits to build they have to go to a planning commission meeting and most of them tell Walmart no truck parking
As a former street sweeper driver, I can see why Walmart is doing this.
I park at Walmart but I ask the manager first .I do not piss on there property or leave trash
Blame some drivers tossing trash and piss bottles. Always the few ruined it for others.
If they would just stop leaving piss bottles and trash all in their parking lots they probably would not have a problem with us parking there.
ThankYou4Sharing!!! ❤ 🕊 MuchLove
I would park in Walmart parking lots when I drove over the road. Some Walmarts even had separate parking lots for trucks. The Walmart in West Memphis Arkansas had separate truck parking. And one in Kentucky. I cannot remember where in Kentucky it is.
How about we stop dealing with Wal-Mart all together?
Cities have curfew for commercial vehicle an Walmart trucks, as a Walmart driver we have to follow, also some drivers leave there trash, pee bottles ect an tear up landscaping. Walmart dose not own the paking lot or the law.
💯 agree!
When I was doing OTR Walmart parking lots always saved my ass when I'm almost running out of time and I needed a quick place that I know that wasn't going to be packed so if I needed to find parking I go to the nearest Walmart!!
A lot of Walmarts are truck friendly, just call the location you plan on stopping at. Also CLEAN UP after yourselves. I use the primo refill stations to refill my 2 5 gallon jugs when gone for weeks at a time, so I rely on this system. It's not hard to call and ask.
Marshall,Tx $250 they got about 10 trucks
DAMN 😮😮😢😢
Crazy thing I was 30 minutes from 10 being up 🤦♂️🤦♂️ Had been there since like 5 that evening with no problems. i haven't been to a Walmart every since
Marshall,Tx has a corrupt mayor and corrupt police department. Also corrupt red lights cameras. True story….
Marshall has a camping ordinance. No camping within city limits unless it is a designated area for truck parking or camping. It's a zoning issue. I deliver to home depot a lot and they will allow me to park overnight but I cannot idle my truck because of the ordinances. People in the area complain about the noise and I can understand it. I drive a Peterbilt 379 with 6" straight pipes, they're loud even at idle. Who wants to hear that all night long especially if the fan is kicking on and off?
@@Brett235 i'm in the dfw metroplex & they have restrictive anti idle laws for semi's in many cities within the metroplex. If you are parked in a designated area & the cops are patrolling & monitoring idle times, they will knock on your door. 5 straight minutes idling the truck engine is usually the maximum & usually any further truck engine idle time past that, can result in a fine/ticket. They aren't playing about that truck engine idling!!
This store is in Williamsburg, Ky. This store has a truck parking area at the rear of the store at the last entrance for trucks, easy in and out. Look at it on Google maps. These stores are getting tired of cleaning up trash and fixing property damage from trucks and "Flip Flop drivers" who can't drive. So it stands to reason they are booting trucks. This is private property not public property. When costumers are walking through the parking lot and shit bags and piss bottles are everywhere then what do you thinks gonna happen? The Berea, Ky store has the same problem with drivers parking and blocking up access to the docks for drivers delivering to that store because a few flip floppers can't be considerate of the stores operation. So I can't blame these stores for booting trucks.
You protest about going into New York but you won't protest Walmart 😂
I am a Walmart driver and I can tell you that w as Walmart driver can't park at all Walmart stores. Some have noise ordinance and not enough room for truck parking.
I’ve heard that it’s actually up to the store manager if it’s not part of a plaza.
Well as a trucker who was booted once at a Walmart in Texas, but still parks at a Walmart for his home time I’d say it depends on the location and that you should always read the signs and check updates on services like Trucker Path and Google. It’s important to keep in mind that some areas, Mount Vernon IL comes to mind, its the cities that decided truckers cannot stay in local shopping centers like Walmarts. So even if Walmart says overnight truck parking is allowed, the Police will come and move you or have you towed.
There are even some locations where Walmart Drivers themselves can’t overnight at the store - and Kentucky sites see truckers as a means of income for the local shopping mall, for example they don’t boot you early in the evening, they allow you to go to bed and then boot you for revenue. There are plenty of Walmarts where you can park, just be aware, be advised and be smart. Good luck to you all and truck safe out there!
They have signs every where at wal mart no semi parking.
Walmart driver here,
The way I have it understood is if you’re stopping to shop and go, they don’t care. Some stores we have, they won’t let us do 10 hour breaks at them because of noise ordinance(bougie areas). I’ve found it hilarious that they let homeless people live in their cars and leave trash everywhere but won’t let a truck driver park overnight. Me personally if I deliver at night I could care less if the parking lot is full of trucks or not. HOWEVER, DO NOT PARK BY THE DOCKS OR IN THE TURNAROUNDS. So just keep in mind if the Walmart is in a nice area or if there are truck stops down the road, they probably won’t let you park overnight.
Not all the Walmarts allow overnight. Some allow park while shopping only. The overnights are away from the city, usually around big shippers. The tight spots in the city and small Walmart usually don’t want you to even park. I don’t like parking at Walmart but sometimes you got everything in one spot to shop.
