I think it's perfectly reasonable for legislation to be introduced that requires shippers and receivers to provide a certain amount of 10 hour parking dependant upon the amount of trucks they receive on a daily basis. Kind of like if you operate a restaurant with sit down service you have to provide a restroom. Everyone needs to help with the parking situation and the very ones who need the trucks the most are the ones who refuse. The only help offered was some silly guidance that you can use PC when a shipper screws you over that isn't even really a law, putting all the liability right back on the driver.
Seems like a easy solution to help alleviate some of the parking problems that wouldn't effect tax payers a bit. These communities love the jobs and tax revenue the corporations that move in provide then turn their noses up at a proposed truck stop.

what if the feds raised the fuel taxes, wage taxes (of truckers only) to get the monies for parking, would you go along with that..???drvrtech77 and p608 Thank this. -

there are consequences to actions.
if the feds get involved, what good do you realistically see, that does not involve money taken from the truckers?
best for the feds to Mind thier own business. as it is now, they cannot even run the country, and you wanna see them run businesses..???drvrtech77 and p608 Thank this. -
