1406. #TFCP - The $1 Billion Parking Push: Legislation, Real Estate, and the War on Theft!

In this episode, Evan Shelley of Truck Parking Club is back to discuss the real-world challenges facing transportation professionals today and how private-sector innovation is tackling the massive truck parking crisis across the United States! We cover everything from their cool 1978 International Transtar cabover restoration project to the critical need for safe, accessible truck parking locations, how they are leveraging the private sector to create a scalable truck parking solution by connecting drivers with underutilized lots, which is a game-changer given the slow pace of government bureaucracy and the limitations of the Truck Parking Safety Improvement Act. We break down the safety implications of illegal parking on on-ramps, the impact of local zoning regulations, and how technology integrations with ELD providers are helping owner-operators and freight carriers find secure spots before their hours of service run out!   About Evan Shelley Evan Shelley is Co-founder and CEO of Truck Parking Club, a company providing parking for truckers by monetizing vacant properties for landowners.
