We recently highlighted news of yet another Walmart store kicking truckers off their parking lot. Immediately after the article went live it was flooded with comments from LiveTrucking readers, who blamed it on one thing — garbage left by inconsiderate drivers.
Read some of the top comments below.
That’s because some truckers are morons they throw their trash on the ground they piss all over the place and those are the ones that ruin it for the rest of us I can understand Walmart’s feelings
Wonder who and how many people f**ked this one up to get banned from another Walmart… they have trash cans everywhere in the lots to throw out trash Instead of on the ground and leave…
Perhaps we should be looking at our fellow drivers lack of being able to clean up after themselves!!!! Leaving pee bottles, throwing garbage and empty food containers on the ground is probably the reason for Walmart’s decision to ban trucks. I suggest the next time you see someone throwing trash on the ground to step up and say something about it!!!!! Nice going pigs!!! >:(
One reader also emailed us a very relevant video which was coincidentally live-streamed on Facebook one day prior. The video, which can be seen at the top of this article, was posted by An American Truck Driver podcast
While semi-sarcastic and partly humorous, it describes the problem that many LiveTrucking readers discussed, and a simple solution for it. The video was viewed over 30,000 in a few days and is worth watching and sharing — both for the comedic value and to try to get the important message out.
