Profile For Wyatt P.

Apologies for not being more clear, but I'm not in search of that sort of data. I'm looking for personal anecdotes, stories, etc... detailing daily issues regarding the parking shortage. For instance, what does your routine look like when you must find a place to park? Or have you had any dangerous encounters due to the fact that parking was unavailable and you had to resort to parking in unsafe places? I've seen some truckers carry homemade devices in their cabs that allow them to essentially barricade themselves in when parking overnight in sketchy locations. There's no lack of data or research on the issue itself. I'm just trying to collect personal accounts.

Hello TruckingTruth users. I am a student at the University of Central Arkansas. I'm currently taking a class in Safety and Motor Carrier Policy and am conducting ethnographic research on the parking shortage that truckers face within the industry. In order to aid my research, I ask that you provide any of the following:

Interesting stories related to truck parking

Complaints about truck parking

Details regarding your parking routine

Possible solutions to alleviate the parking shortage

Truck parking dangers/concerns

Any contributions to this thread may be used in my research paper and/or directly quoted Thank you for your time and contributions in advance!

P.S. I tried this on reddit first but after being banned from 3 subreddits and then muted by moderators when I asked why, I gave up. I'm hoping for better results here. After all, this is the "friendliest" trucking forum on the internet. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
