Where the heck do you sleep?!
I notice more and more states are shutting down lots more rest stops to cut costs, which forces us to park in empty parking lots or on the side of interstates to get some sleep. Where do you all park your truck? Do you guys think this will ever get any better?! I am annoyed!
I hope so, it's getting rough to be a driver anymore
There are more truck stops all the time plan ahead. It’s called trip planning. You should never have to sleep on an off ramp or highway. Drive smart
Drive at night, sleep during the day.
Start early stop early
Ok
I usually end up sleeping behind the wheel as I'm driving. Thanks DOT and dispatch.
Never been kicked out of a church parking lot yet.
I work an area with a lot of warehouses...A lot of trucks park on the streets or in the lots. Usually plenty of parking
Yes you can make it better. Get Trucker Path. App and learn to remember areas where you have pi CV ked up and delivered. If you see trucks parked on the sattilite view on googke maps there is a good chance you can park over night at the shipper or reciever. If in doubt call the shipper and reciever and ask. Lastly if there is no gate and you notice that go in the shipoer qnd reciever and just park in door or aw tr aw iler oqrking spot. Been doin this 19 yrs. And I have yet to get a ticket or asked to move..
In that case...change what u need..which will be Ems...for your breathing...since your job is taking the breath out of you...or just find another job......Some people just don't understand how difficult a occupation can be. Hope the best for you... ..
