    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:
     
    '88K100, D.Tibbitt and bullhaulerswife Thank this.

    Thank you for the comment. I'm also looking to learn about the challenge in carrier vetting by starting conversations in this community. But it hasn't been easy. Do you have any other resources to recommend? Is this the right channel for research-focus discussion?

    Not sure why you think I would recommend other resources, but you've been a member since....yesterday, and it seems like you're already becoming impatient. Members here are trying to engage with you, however when you create a new thread in a different forum asking the same questions, members are understandably going to become frustrated.

    Be patient, and engage with them if/when they try to help you, while overlooking things that you find frustrating or if the answers don't come in fast enough for you. If you can do that, TruckersReport is the only resource you need.
     
    Carinahu Thanks this.

    I usually just make up the most outrageous balderdash for these brats to write down, like say I'm an 85 year old cross-dresser or something else ridiculous. No ####### survey is going to help anybody, junior, so go tell your idiot professor to stop annoying the drivers and let them get back to work. Trust me when I say that NOBODY is going to care one iota what some freshman has to say about the trucking industry.
