Reserved Parking at truck stops; travel centers
The Issue
Trucking has changed dramatically, in the past 20 years. There are more trucks on the road than ever, and, with more trucks, more availability of parking is required. VIP, or "reserved" parking, creates a huge problem. Many companies do not reimburse drivers for parking fees. At an approximate cost of $15, this is the cost of a good meal, that drivers won't have, just so they can have a place to park. Regular parking spots are all full, and 20 "reserved" parking spots are available. Drivers have no more drive time available to go elsewhere, and are "forced" to pay the fees for reserved parking. Travel Centers; i.e., truck stops, are places for a driver to get a decent meal, do laundry, get a shower, rest, and get some sleep. The signers of this petition are calling for an immediate "cease and desist" action to be taken by any business that partakes in this act of greed.
