    Hi guys! I am doing a huge class project and our goal is to identify semi truck driver frustrations and hopefully help solve some of those pain points. If you guys would be willing to fill out a survey that would be greatly appreciated and if you know anyone else who is a truck driver, please feel free to send out this survey to them as well!

    Here’s an idea. Get a CDL do the job for a bit and then you’ll learn what the problems are. How’s that for a college project. Feel free to have your peers do the same.
    To add. Otherwise you’re just going to make things worse. So get out and actually do the job for a few years or just change your project to something you’re more suited for. It’s definitely not this or fixing this. I’m certain it’s something else.

    TruckersReport has always tried to provide a platform for legitimate college and university research projects that will help the industry. Sometimes it's highway safety, other times it's driver comfort, or even truck design. In this case, the survey relates to the parking issue that we all recognize as a problem. If you're not interested in assisting with the project, feel free to skip the thread without commenting.

    It's not at all an intrusive survey......use your burner email account, and give them something to do to keep them busy while you're working.

    Who knows, maybe they'll find the "cure for cancer" answer to truck parking.:cool:
