Amazon builds warehouses but does not provide for trucker rest parking,,,,,,,call them out, let you local county commissioners know that their permits need to include adequate onsite parking. Orlando is the worst, dirt lots that charge by the night are the only option
Amazon fails to plan

Why's it Amazon's responsibility to provide parking? They're not a truckstop and have no obligation to provide anything.

Ahhh lack of parking explains the Amazon driving style of weaving around like a drunk and junk trucks that are the first in the ditch during a storm .
That explains things ! ...you people scare me !Canadianhauler21, slow.rider, Western flyer and 8 others Thank this. -
Maybe you should pay a private business to provide parking for you. If you dont like it then dont haul their ####

For one so inclined the documents regarding the projected traffic impacts and any mitigation measures should be available to the public. Likely there were public meetings, etc in addition to multiple layers of review. The size of the impacts of an Amazon DC likely triggered what in Florida is called a DRI (Development of Regional Impact) that is a comprehensive review at the state level. So every body in Florida whose somebody had the opportunity to provide input had they seen fit to do so. If the situation is a total disaster, or code was totally sidestepped or politicians demanded everyone look the other way, that is likely all possible to discern by reviewin the public record.Midwest Trucker, oldtrucker66, slow.rider and 6 others Thank this. -
I thought it was, Amazon plans to FAIL.
alds Thanks this. -
It is a pass the buck situation.
The trucking companies blame the Federal HOS regulations, say that the Feds should provide the parking (official ATA policy on the matter)
The shippers and receivers say it isn't my problem. They contracted for moving the stuff, not provide ancillary services.
The 3rd party parking providers(truck stops) are being overwhelmed, and are going out of business providing a value added service(parking) that is largely not being paid for.
Now you know why I am retired.48Packard, slow.rider, Doealex and 2 others Thank this. -
But if you go anywhere without a solid plan / place to park, that's your fault.
But, yeah, generally speaking, Amazon does indeed suck.InTooDeep, Kyle G., Studebaker Hawk and 1 other person Thank this. -
