On average, truck drivers spend about 56 minutes looking for parking. Read that again. Enter the Truck Parking Club!  I got a chance to chat with Evan K Shelley, Co-founder and CEO of Truck Parking Club, about this critical industry issue. Evan noted that his main goal for the year was to have a couple thousand parking spots available for truck drivers across America and since we recorded this episode, they’ve since added over 300 parking spaces! In April, 172 new truck parking spaces were added and this week they just hit a milestone that includes 292 new spaces in ONE WEEK!
