In this much-anticipated episode of Sense Per Mile, we dive into one of the most pressing issues facing truck drivers today: parking. With reports that there are 11 trucks for every available spot, parking scarcity is a daily struggle. Truck Parking Club recently began accepting business from truck stops, arguably increasing the number of paid parking spots. For many drivers, this change raises concerns about added expenses on already stretched budgets. We bring Truck Parking Club to the table to discuss and defend their stance. Is this partnership a lifeline for the industry or just another cost for drivers? Listen in as we tackle this complex debate and let the listeners decide!
