A state like California is never going to allow enough land to be allocated for truck parking. Yes, we have a parking problem for trucks.

Personally, I think this is the major factor that divides highly successful drivers from the mediocre complainers. Truckers are, and must be, fiercely independent problem solvers. Our companies don't have any ability to deal with the problems we face. This 'friend's' questions are a great example of how people wanting to get into trucking completely underestimate how radically different this career is from other jobs. Isn't parking solved by the trucking company you work for, where your employer tells you the prefered places to park your truck when you need to wait (for some reason) making or picking up a delivery or if you get hit with a 34 hour reset while away from home? What is the deal with truck drivers having an issue with finding decent and safe parking in some cities/states in our nation?'

Plus I also on occasion have seen truck drivers in another truck driver forum ask where can they park their trucks (when they come from other states into California), along with some truck drivers asking about truck parking in Las Vegas/the Las Vegas area, after delivering a load, as they have to wait a day or two of another load.

Plus there are at least 3 large truck stops within 10 miles where I live. yet I know for a fact that there are nearby truck stops within about 10 to 20 miles from where I see these trucks parked (nearby where I live). Yet I find it odd (here in the Los Angeles area), to see clusters of trucks with and without trailers parked on the shoulders of some of the off ramps and off to the side of some freeways late at night (with no lights on), so I figure these truckers have to be sleeping. but I have heard so many stories over the past two years, some truck stops run out of parking room and or you have to pay for parking.

' I was curious to learn from truck drivers that need to park in California, why does there 'seem' to be a never ending problem of places to park a truck? Though I don’t know the ropes, but I thought that is what truck stops were for. NOTE: I’m posting this post (below) for a friend who is having trouble trying to get an account setup on TT, who is interested in becoming a truck driver.
