Autonomous Trucks
Love’s Travel Stops announced its plan to open 25 new travel stops this year, creating 1,500 new truck parking spaces. That equates to 60 new truck parking spots at each location. When drivers responded to the latest survey of industry concerns by the American Transportation Research Institute, the said truck parking was their number one concern. The creation of 1,500 new truck parking spaces is easily dismissed as “ONLY 1,500” parking spaces by truckers who struggle daily to find a safe place to park at the end of their driving day. Shortly before the bP deal’s announcement, TA had an announcement of its own.
