    Truck stop problems are mounting all over from east to west. Manors is unheard of when parking equipment. parking anywhere is a mounting problem that must be solved. Trucks are multiplying and there must be a solution to driver parking in proper places of equipment. The enterance and exit, along with thruways must be keep clear.

    As I have said before, this is a monster created by the trucking industry itself. The industry has been shifting the costs of parking (terminals) to 3rd parties ( truck stops, Walmarts, customer facilities) for years. Billions of dollars over the years since deregulation have been saved by portions, mostly the truckload haulers.
    The industry needs to solve the problem, by paying for what is now free. Anyone want to go into the paid secure parking business with me?
