FHWA to hold truck parking workshops in Colorado, Pennsylvania

Want to tell the state and federal government the problems with truck parking in person? Thanks to the truck parking workshops hosted by the Federal Highway Administration, truck drivers will get that opportunity.

In an effort to address the nationwide truck parking shortage, FHWA has set up several workshops that will bring together representatives of the private and public sectors to find solutions. As of press time, three workshops are scheduled.
