Truck parking challenges are a persistent issue in the trucking industry, affecting drivers’ safety, well-being, and compliance with regulations. As the number of trucks on the road increases, the availability of safe and legal parking spaces has not kept pace. This shortage of parking leads to drivers spending excessive time searching for spaces, which can cause delays, increase fuel consumption, and lead to violations of hours-of-service (HOS) regulations. In some cases, drivers may be forced to park in unsafe or unauthorized areas, putting themselves and others at risk.

TruckX offers fleet solutions to address the issues of truck parking. TruckX’s proprietary route planning and telematics enable fleet managers to optimize routes to include stops at known and available locations based on HOS restrictions. By providing real-time data and predictive analytics, available parking locations not only save significant time for drivers who must find parking but will also reduce the amount of time they spend idling and searching, so they comply with HOS rules.

Additionally, the platform provides alerts and notifications about nearby parking options, helping drivers make informed decisions on the road. By addressing truck parking challenges, TruckX enhances driver safety, reduces operational costs, and ensures compliance with regulations, all while improving overall fleet efficiency.
