Trucking by the Numbers
The trucking industry is critical to the economic success and way of life of the United States
• 13 million heavy trucks (over 10,000 lbs)
• 10 million straight trucks
• 3 million tractor trailers (semi-trailers)
• 300,000 parking spaces
• 73% of all freight by value moves by trucks
Trucks carry 19 billion tons of freight valued at $18 trillion
The Crisis in Truck Parking
There is less than one parking spot for every 40 trucks on the road
“When truck stops … get full, the rest areas do too. Drivers find themselves hunting for parking on Interstate off-ramps, on side streets, or at abandoned gas stations. Drivers have been robbed, even killed parking like that.”
— KCUR 89.3, NPR, March 2023
“ … drivers sacrifice almost an hour of driving time every day to make sure they have safe and legal parking for the night. Multiply that over a couple million truckers and you end up with a lot of lost wages, snarled supply chains, illegal parking jobs, and even more trucks on the road to pick up the slack.”

“It’s almost like being homeless. If you can’t find a place to park, and you are running out of hours, what do you do now? … If you are parked on an on or off ramp that’s not a good place to be … ”
— Mike Nichols, Grain Truck Driver
“ … a Greyhound Bus on the way to St. Louis crashed into three 18-wheelers parked along the highway exit ramp in southern Illinois. Three people were killed and 14 injured … Federal Investigators…knew one thing right away: those trucks were not supposed to be there.”

The Importance of Truck Parking
Hours of Service (HOS) regulations limit driving time and mandate rest intervals
HOS Regulations include:
Mandatory 10 hours of rest following 14 hours on duty
Required 30-minute breaks at prescribed intervals
Lack of available parking for trucking drivers has reached a national crisis
There is only one parking spot for every 44 heavy trucks (over 10,000 lbs)
There is only one parking spot for every 10 tractor trailers (semi-trailers)
Drivers spend an average of 56 minutes per day of drive time searching for a parking space which Results in average lost wages per truck driver of $5,500 annually, a 12% cut
Drivers often must decide between violating HOS regulations or parking illegally
Creates driver fatigue, stress, and frustration
Subjects drivers to robbery and assault
Subjects drivers to tickets and citations
Subjects freight to theft and damage
Truck drivers are essential American workers who deserve safe, secure, and efficient parking.
