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

it is not the responsibility for Amazon to provide drivers a parking space for thier 30 minute or 10 hour breaks.

try saying this any place else, and see what response you get like from NJ, NY, Chicago, L.A., etc,etc.

if you're the driver?

then it's ON YOU to plan ahead of time to find adequate parking either before you arrive, or when you leave.

apparently, you are new to the industry....

learn to read a map, follow highway signs, and ask other drivers for truck stops/rest areas

And it goes well beyond Amazon. Municipalities for as long as I can remember have refused to address the parking/traffic issue for fear of losing the tax dollars that result from the development of whse/light industrial sites. The company in question will simply go to the town 20 miles away that doesn't have any requirements. And every municipality loves the tax ratables from this type of business, very little in services required, no schools need to be built, very little in the way of police/fire services needed. They just bank(then spend) the tax dollars.
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.

Thank you, StudebakerHawk. Well said.

Although, to be fair to our original poster, there are a lot of cities with limited or no parking, even if one does plan ahead, like Miami, Seattle, San Diego, and every trucker's nightmare, Boston!
