GARDNER, Ks. (KCTV) - A group of truckers thought they were safe to stay the night in a Walmart parking lot.

But when Gina Eager and others woke up to roll out they found an unwelcome surprise.

“When we went to go pick up our load we found out we had a boot,” Eager said.

Eager said she spent the morning talking with a store manager, as well as Walmart’s corporate office. She said she was told unauthorized truck parking is not allowed at the store, and that she and the other drivers would have to pay towing fees

Several signs posted around the lot warned drivers that their trucks could be towed if they parked in the lot without permission. But Eager said she has never had a problem parking at other stores for her mandatory 10 hour rest period in between trips.

I went to the Walmart at M-59/I-94 East of Detroit and there were about 10 semis parked at the back of the lot, so I guess it is OK there.
