America Has a Truck Parking Crisis
The data is stark. Millions of professional drivers spend hours each day searching for a safe place to rest — and the consequences reach far beyond inconvenience.
The Scale of the Problem
These aren't projections. They're the daily reality for the drivers who keep America's supply chain moving.

For every 11 drivers on the road, there is only 1 designated parking space available.
Average Daily Search Time
Drivers lose nearly an hour every single day searching for a legal, safe parking spot.
Of Annual Income Lost
Time spent searching for parking represents roughly 12% of a driver's annual earnings.
Feel Unsafe at Rest
Nearly 9 in 10 drivers report feeling unsafe during mandatory rest breaks due to inadequate parking.
