    I know it's probably been covered before, but does anybody have recent info? Specifically looking at the I 65 corridor in KY-IN?

    Murphy gas signs on the blue gas signs along the interstate are a dead giveaway for WalMart locations if you do not know where they are.

    When I was an owner OP, I stayed at the walmarts that had signs saying we were welcomed or unwelcomed. Those signs are there before the place was built

    yes this has been covered many times,. just do a search.
    We are losing more and more walmarts to park in, because lazy drivers, both company and the new breed of o/o just throws thier trash out the window, when the garbege can is 3 feet away.
    Walmart is nice enough to let trucks park there, but when truckers can't hit the trash can with the trash bag, i don't blame them for kicking us out.

    I just stopped at a walmart in Fergus Falls, MN a little while ago. Someone who parked there recently, lost the front corner of their truck. While I know it may be upsetting to come out of the store, and find someone took the corner off your truck, take the big hunk of broken truck parts with you. They belonged to you when you pulled in, and they still belong to you. Leaving them there for someone else to clean up is only gonna get trucks banned from their parking lot.

    These are all the Walmarts along I-65 in IN and KY. I don't know if they have actual truck parking but I know you can get a truck into any Walmart. Just scope them out to see how easy it will be.
     
    Nyman Thanks this.

    Most of the Walmarts in the Mid West and East I have found to be very accommodating. It's out in California, Oregon and Washington were I have the most problems with parking there. Plus my GPS has a Walmart search on it I will call the store and ask, saves me that 3 A.M. wake up call.
