STOP!... NO, GO...I MEAN STOP
Are you at a Walmart?
That's got to be at a Wal-Mart. I think there was at one time another sign at the bottom with an arrow on it.
I'd probably just try to find another exit lol. Either that or roll the dice and take your chances!
Lol I dealt with the lovely large "no trucks" signs yesterday evening near Philly. In small print was "except local deliveries"
I was like, well I'm not delivering but picking up.. a couple miles away. eff it. Had to get creative in finding the shipper due to closed off streets and had to go thru a short narrow tunnel taking my half out of the middle (or pretty much both lanes) because it had to been designed in horse and buggy days it was so tight.
All in all it was a decent experience on this trip.
The customer who is shipping the freight. This is where the driver will pick up a load and then deliver it to the receiver or consignee.
Reaper although there were some jokes made about this sign (me included), and it might be photo-shopped, there is a thought I'd like to share on signage like this that creates conflict. I was half serious on the Walmart question. Many of the stores I deliver to have signage that can be confusing. Experience and common sense has taught me how to proceed when faced with something like this.
Having an awareness of the surrounding area, to the right and left of the sign, is required in order to offer an informed answer to the question. Also worthy of note is at what point are you into your trip because this sign looks like the sort of thing in and around either a mall or an industrial area attempting to route trucks to safe delivery access, instead of to lots designed for cars and light trucks. Developing this sense of surroundings and situational awareness tends to occur naturally as a driver gains more experience. We constantly reinforce to not rush, that would definitely apply to a conundrum caused by a sign like this.
If faced with a sign like this, near a shipper or receiver and no real clue how to proceed after scanning the area, I would stop, put the four ways on and call for additional input. Watching other CMVs in the area might offer a clue on the best approach. I also would not rule out a call to the local PD for guidance, especially if it appears the sign was tampered with. In a case like this it may not be safe to assume. Driver beware!
I suspect that Old School's answer (missing a directional arrow) is as close to being accurate as possible, without the benefit of the bigger picture.

A CMV is a vehicle that is used as part of a business, is involved in interstate commerce, and may fit any of these descriptions:
No this was just found online. I just found it funny then thought provoking. It could have been wallyworld

At first it was rather funny,...but over time it did cause me to pause and offer a "real" answer.
Exactly photoshop is probably the likely culprit.
