The U.S. Department of Transportation is investing $300 million in much-needed parking for #truckers. "As a truck driver, I can tell you firsthand that when truckers don't have a safe place to park, we are put in a no-win situation," said Todd Spencer, president of the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, "We must either continue to drive while fatigued or out of legal driving time or park in an undesignated and unsafe location like the side of the road or abandoned lot. It forces truck drivers to make a choice between safety and following federal Hours-of-Service rules." According to FleetOwner INFRA funding is being allocated to seven states, including technology to update drivers about parking availability: - Florida: $180 million for 917 spaces at four locations on Interstate 4. - Missouri: Almost $93 million for improvements to Interstate 70, including new parking capacity. - Pennsylvania: $40.8 million for a project at Lehigh Valley International Airport - California, Oregon, and Washington: $12.3 million for an Interstate 5 truck parking information management system - Wisconsin: $8 million to add 54 spaces on Interstate 90 and real-time information system technology. https://lnkd.in/g5cdK6Tq #truckingindustry #truckingnews #supplychainplanning #supplychain #truckdrivers #truckdriverlife #cdldrivers #fleetnews #fleetmanagement #truckingcompanies

Every movement we make with the Roadrunner has value—no wasted effort, just efficient, high-quality results. This attachment is quickly becoming a game-changer for our projects.

Ever wondered why SIZE matters? 🤔 A truck court size provides space for truck maneuvering, loading and unloading. Why is the truck court size important? 🚚 Accommodates for truck maneuverability: Truck courts need to be large enough for the largest trucks to safely turn and maneuver. 📦 Loading dock access: An adequate truck court provides direct access to loading docks so trucks can back up and dock smoothly. 🛑 Staging and queuing: The truck court provides an area for trucks to temporarily queue while waiting to load or unload at busy times. 💫 On-site truck circulation: The truck court connects different parts of the site that trucks need to access, allowing them to circulate from public roads to loading areas without obstruction. 🦺 Safety and security: Proper truck maneuvering space reduces accident risks and makes it less likely trucks could damage infrastructure. Now that you know why SIZE matters, just how big is big enough? #srsindustrial #srs #srsrealestatepartners #cre #industrial #truckcourt #warehouse #logistics
