    There isn’t enough truck parking as a whole and it’s been that way for awhile. But with the country at a stand still and freight for the most part do you feel there is more truck parking during this epidemic? I don’t feel there is more truck parking I find it just as difficult to find parking as before all this started. I have only been to one location that is usually full and found lots of spots and that was around a couple weeks to a month ago can’t remember the date.

    I've noticed a few more pulling their 10s at the Bass Pro Shop in Brandon, FL. It's in a good spot right off of I-75 and just south of the I-4 junction. I'd say more peaceful than either the PFJ or TA up on I-4

    If the ramp shoulders were anything to go by reading those heavy mud tracks of 18 wheelers trying to catch a night sleep up and down US 67, Im pretty certain there is plenty of sleepies catching up on the beauty rest on that road.

    Well I should clarify. I normally see maybe one a week there. Now I've seen more like one a day, and then over by the Dave n Busters I saw 3 more. They might have been staying at the hotel for 34s though. It is a nice place to pull a 10 if you can. Nice little catch and release pond. Plenty of side walk to get your exercise. Can even walk to a few places to get food. So yeah if I am in the area in the future needing to pull a 10 it will be a place I'll stop. When I have my CDL.

    A little less crowded at night for most places, but more trucks just sitting during the day waiting for a load.

    With the exception of a couple places parking availability has not improved during this current crisis
