The trucks will stay but with some limit on how many.
The reason for this goes back to before Walmart was Walmart. Sam Walton, founder of Walmart, was a trucker before he was a shop owner and understood that it was hard to find a safe and legal spot to rest. Where the practice is legal, trucks are permitted but may be restricted to certain parts of the lot. RV's are accepted by extension of that policy but non commercial vehicles can be excluded by some municipalities.
I'm sure it's buried in myth and legend but the story I heard was Sam was an RVer and saw it as a way to help out fellow RVers...while also understanding most would go in and buy stuff.
I'm sure there are exceptions but I've not seen commercial trucks wallydocking.
As far as the original question, so long as the parking lot has plenty of empty space and you are just stopping ofr the night, I doubt anyone will have an issue if you put the slides out. If you have a really heavy rig, put some boards under the stabalizers, so you aren't leaving divots in the asphalt.
