No one is forcing you to buy property with all of those. I laugh at every idiot truck driver that thinks the government should solve all their problems. I totally understand why shippers and receivers don't allow any parking. Most drivers are nasty pigs.

There's twice as many trucks on the road as there were thirty years ago, but half as much truck parking. That's like a 75% reduction in available parking per truck. Government role, to a large extent, is to facilitate business. That's why they make roads and fire departments and courts. So addressing the parking issue is also within their sphere. Should they do it by forcing companies to provide parking? I'd say generally not. But they can offer tax incentives to those who do. They can build more rest areas, expand existing ones, open more scalehouses to truck parking, and reopen closed scalehouses and rest areas to no-facilities truck-only parking, for starters.

In most cases, deed restrictions are placed by a land developer. They could be from the former and historical owners of the land. Sometimes local governments do have restrictions added, these situations are for some very specific reason. For the most part, they tend to stay away from that for legal reasons (they don’t want to be sued)
zoning is actually in your best interest most of the time. The idea is to keep like land use together, protecting land values. They make money (taxes) on keeping the land value high. Think zoning is bad, want a toxic dump next to your house?Last edited: Jul 20, 2021

With the amount of fuel tax I am paying, I expect to see truck parking everywhere and nice roads. Come to think about it free truck washes chrome polishing while we’re at it. It’s a lot of fuel tax, wonder where the money goes.
