I didn’t know this, but apparently there is a serious shortage of parking for semi trucks across the nation.
The Washington State
Department of Transportation is doing something about this in our state by developing a state Truck Parking Strategic Plan
and is looking for input and assistance from truck drivers and companies that hire truck
drivers.
The plan includes all types of truck parking, such as truck stops,
rest areas, weigh stations, highway ramps, private parking lots, and other
areas.
As part of the plan, WSDOT is
surveying individuals and companies that use short-term and overnight truck
parking in Washington. This online
survey is intended to better understand the types of trucks operating in
Washington, the corridors most traveled, and overall truck parking needs and
issues.

Results of the online survey
will identify truck parking problem areas, and help WSDOT
develop and focus on strategies to improve truck parking in our state.
