Don’t Take Truckers’ Parking Spots
It’s important to remember that truckers have no choice when and where they stop for the night. They’re legally bound to rules and regulations and their logbooks! They’re also bound to the unspoken contract they make with their families every time they head out on the road, “I’ll make it back home safely.”
Small truck stops have limited places to park. If you grab the last truck space and an exhausted trucker comes along, you’ve just forced them to keep driving to the next truck stop. That’s not okay.
Please don’t take a spot specifically designated for a semi-truck at any truck stop. Roll along to the RV section. If there’s no room there, find a nearby town with a Walmart, Cracker Barrel, Cabella’s, or similar business that allows overnight parking.
