Definately will sign but my only issue with it is bathrooms. As a woman that's a necessity! Even a porta potty will work. Just something...
Any ladies with me?

That's a very good point! So we need to add a bathroom clause to this!
Signed but it'll never happen
I am not yet a truck driver, however I signed because in reality the issue of fatigued truckers affects everyone on the road.

FMCSA Please Direct States to Provide Rest Stops for Truckers
We, the undersigned petitioners, formally request that the FMCSA mandate that each state provide enough state-sanctioned truck parking along interstates to match annual truck traffic volume statistics. This can be done by making a plain dirt lot available for truckers to park in, at various rural exit ramps.
Considerations
We, the undersigned petitioners, understand that even a plain dirt lot will carry some cost to each state. Aside from land procurement, several factors are at play for which We, the undersigned petitioners, would gladly contribute via nominal coin- or token-operated toll gates to enter the aforementioned lot.
- No-frills parking lots for large trucks: either dirt, gravel, or pavement
- Reasonable freeway-type light poles
- Dumpster near exit of parking lot
- Winter conditions in some states may require snow management
- Law enforcement should not be allowed to “troll” these lots, instead restricted to Weigh Stations
We, the undersigned petitioners, are willing to contribute on a per-entry basis via coin- or token-operated machines on the following schedule: $1.00 for dirt lot; $2.00 for gravel lot; $3.00 for paved lot.
Each state should contribute rural land and easements, and facilitate management of the lots.
Sincerely Signed,
