Psst! Hey, buddy, wanna know where there’s a parking space for tonight? Is it worth a twenty to ya?
It’s getting almost that bad out on the road and the figures can show you why: both the F.M.C.S.A and the National Transportation Safety Board agree there’s a shortfall of nearly thirty thousand parking spaces for trucks each night. Half of all the private truck stops are filled, and eighty percent of the public rest areas across the nation are filled or in overflow nightly as well.

As a Trucker with a dedicated run I have always been able to drop the trailer at the customers dock and find a parking space for my tractor at home.I wonder if more shippers and receivers would work with drivers allowing them to at least find a better chance at parking just the tractor at a restaurant or mall overnight.
