There is a lot of outrage among truck drivers passing through Kentucky lately, and their anger is focused at retail giant Walmart.

The retailer's location off I-75 at the state border partnered with a company to get truckers to stop parking their tractor-trailers in the store's parking lot overnight.

Truckers say the company puts a boot on the window of their trucks with a $500 ticket, which must be paid within an hour or be towed.
