Walmart Truck Parking

It’s no secret that Walmart has great prices and a wide selection of products. Truck drivers are on the road for weeks (sometimes months) at a time and it’s very convenient to use rest hours to do a little shopping, maybe grab a surprise gift for your significant other and get some food all at once before hitting the reset button.

Here’s how you can view Walmart truck parking locations:

Steps:

1. Open the Trucker Path app

2. Click the places icon at the bottom right of the map screen

Trucker Spotlight - Maurice Bey <em>The Trucker Spotlight series explores the lives of truckers and their journey to make a difference in their industry. We interview different truck drivers to understand some life lessons that make them who they are today. We also learn more about their motivations, and the problems that they encounter on the job. We also tackle how Trucker Path's solutions helped them with what they do. The information that they provide helps inform other people who are looking to delve into the trucking world.</em> <h2></h2> [img src="https://truckerpath.com/uploads/2020/08/mau2.jpeg" alt=""] <h2></h2> Today we are putting the spotlight on <strong>Maurice</strong>, who’s been an in-state driver for four years. He also has a Youtube channel called, “The Helpful Trucker”, where he gives some helpful tips as he shares his experiences on the road. Let’s get to know more about Maurice and his life as a trucker. <h2></h2> <h3></h3> <h3><strong>What made you decide to be a trucker?</strong></h3> Well, I didn't choose this life, this life chose me. I love driving and I love being behind the wheel. A few years ago, my pop's (a lifelong trucker) health started declining. He came to me and said, "Hey I need you to get your CDL because I need to put someone else in my truck." So I went to CDL school, got my Class A and I've been driving for him ever since. <h2></h2> <h3><strong>In the years that you have been driving, what are the significant changes that you've noticed in the trucking industry?</strong></h3> Well, I've only been in the industry for 4 years now, but I'm the son of a lifelong trucker and many of my close relatives are truckers, which means I've been exposed to the industry literally all my life. And I remember relatives and family that used to drive WITHOUT a chauffeur's license. I remember when my dad would go back several days and alter, I mean "update" his paper log books retroactively. And I remember when my uncle's and my dad's friends used to talk about running up and down the road all night, non stop, unregulated. One could argue that all that regulation overall HAS made the roads safer. But one could also argue that all that regulation has made things less profitable, particularly for little guys. <h2></h2> [img src="https://truckerpath.com/uploads/2020/08/mau3.jpeg" alt=""] <h2></h2> <h3><strong>What's the story of you becoming "The Helpful Trucker"? Do you also have a name for your truck?</strong></h3> On YouTube, I call myself "The Helpful Trucker" because in life I'm a helpful guy. So many people nowadays only want to be helpful if it benefits them. My philosophy, which is offering people real value without necessarily expecting anything in return, is attractive and has a natural way of pulling the right people, resources and opportunities towards you. I call my truck Nat... short for International (which is what I drive). <h2></h2> <h3><strong>Any times when you get lonely while driving? How do you deal with it?</strong></h3> I'm an in-state driver and I go home every night. So I don't experience loneliness, plus I love my alone time. I need it to maintain my sanity. LOL. <h2></h2> I spend a majority of my time behind the wheel listening to podcasts about business, entrepreneurship, economics, marketing and mindset. My truck is a rolling university for me. <h2></h2> [img src="https://truckerpath.com/uploads/2020/08/mau4.jpeg" alt=""] <h2></h2> <h3><strong>As a trucker, what are the current struggles in this COVID19 pandemic?</strong></h3> Keeping my miles up as an in-state driver. My work has definitely slowed significantly. <h2></h2> <h3><strong>What are your usual routes? Favorite scenic truck route?</strong></h3> My usual truck routes generally speaking are either Interstate 64 or Interstate 95 in the Richmond,Virginia area. My favorite scenic truck route is 64 west out of Richmond. I love the mountainous scenery. <h2></h2> <h3><strong>How often do you use rest stops / truck stops? What are the things that you look for in a truck stop? Favorite truck stop meal?</strong></h3> I don't use truck stops very much, but when I do, I look for familiarity. I'm a very routine kind of guy. I don't have a favorite truck stop meal. I'm not a big fan of road food... that stuff will kill you! <h2></h2> <h3><strong>What are the common troubles or problems you encounter while trucking?</strong></h3> I encounter a lot of faulty equipment, especially trailers, which belong to the carrier I pull for, not me. <h2></h2> <h3><strong>What are your pet peeves while driving/trucking?</strong></h3> People, especially truckers, not being courteous to other truckers and only looking out for themselves. But I get it though. This economy can make you chase money to the point that you're only thinking about yourself and your own situation and not considering others. <h2></h2> <h3><strong>How did Trucker Path help you in your day to day trucking?</strong></h3> The main thing <a href="https://truckerpath.com/">Trucker Path</a> has helped me with so far is supplying me with a trucker friendly GPS. My standard GPS has put me on routes that I'm not supposed to be on more than once! And that's a scary feeling. <h2></h2> <h3><strong>What are some tips that you would like to share for aspiring truckers?</strong></h3> Safety tip: Triple check everything. <h2></h2> Getting a job tip: Know your contract front and back; ask as many questions as you feel you need to. Don't allow yourself to get locked in to anything that is not in your best interest long term. <h2></h2> Career tip: Get your money right as quickly as possible. Give yourself the option to get from behind the wheel as soon as possible. Driving a rig, just like most careers is A LOT more fun when you're doing it because you want to instead of because you have to. <h2></h2> <h2></h2> <h3><strong>Where can people watch your videos on Youtube?</strong></h3> They can view my videos on my <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/mauricebey7">Youtube Channel, The Helpful Trucker.</a> <h2></h2> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/PGIeHtM9dng" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> <h2></h2> Hope you guys enjoy! <h2></h2> <h2></h2> <h4>By Aldous Aldwin</h4> <h3></h3> <h3></h3>

Most Popular Trucks in America [p]The top-selling and most popular truck in America might come as a surprise for some.[/p] [h2]What's the Most Popular Truck in America?[/h2] [p][b]1. Freightliner[/b][/p] [p]The [a href="https://app.appsflyer.com/com.sixdays.truckerpath?pid=Social Facebook"]top-selling semi-truck in America is Freightliner[/a] selling over 190,000 trucks annually. Freightliner is the most popular truck in America making up 40 percent of the market share. In addition, Freightliner is the largest truck manufacturer in the U.S., employing over 3,000 workers at its factories in Cleveland and Mt. Holly. Founded in 1942, Freightliner is a division of Daimler, the German company that also owns Western Star and is responsible for manufacturing Mercedes-Benz.[/p] [p]While the 2007 model is the most popular Freightliner on the market, the company is investing in the future of trucking. Last year Freightliner introduced a SuperTruck which was reported to get 12 mpg, outfitted with cutting-edge technology and a more aerodynamic style.[/p] [video id="jgXh9Vxbx1s"] [p][b]2. Kenworth[/b][/p] [p]PACCAR is the parent company of Peterbilt and Kenworth with an annual revenue of $19.1 billion. Combined the two truck brands sold 154,700 trucks in 2015. The Kenworth W900 is a classic truck model with a distinguished long-nose hood and pumps out nearly 600 horsepower. Kenworth edged out Peterbilt by a slight margin in sales, holding 14 percent of the market share in America for 2015.[/p] [p]<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FTruckerPath%2Fvideos%2F1068498406629774%2F&show_text=0&width=560" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>[/p] [p][b]3. Peterbilt[/b][/p] [p]Peterbilt is an iconic brand in the American trucking industry. Its popularity has allowed the brand to cross over into everyday fashion. With its red oval-shaped logo and script white lettering, Peterbilt apparel – specifically trucker hats – can found at truck stops, retail stores and various online retailers. Peterbilt makes up 13 percent of the market share in America and is beloved by its owners. The Peterbilt 379 is one of the most popular semi-trucks on the market – just ask [a href="https://www.facebook.com/tonyjusticemusic/"]Tony Justice[/a] and his hit song.[/p] [video id="CzfdW7JQsKw"] [p][b]4. International[/b][/p] [p]Navistar International has been producing trucks since it was founded in 1902.

Volvo[/b][/p] [p]Volvo trucks make up 10 percent of the heavy-duty truck market share in America. That's pretty substantial when you consider the competition of the American truck brands. Volvo is a Swedish manufacturer that also owns Mack Trucks – known for the Pinnacle truck series and its Granite dump trucks. Although fifth in terms of the American truck market, Volvo is the second largest heavy-duty truck producer in the world. They also happen to be the preferred choice for Jean-Claude Van Damme to practice his splits on!
