Truck Parking Made Easy with MileOn by PC*MILER

Written by ALK Technologies | 22 August, 2018

Truck drivers overcome more obstacles than you can think of during their work day. From traffic, to bad weather, to unexpected repairs, lots of events can derail their day. One issue that not many people think of until it happens is parking: “But parking is so easy, you just find a spot and park!” Unfortunately, this isn’t necessarily the case for truck drivers.

The Problem With Parking

Not only do they have to break at a certain time (mandate calls of 8 hours), they have to find a location where they are authorized and safe to park. Truck stops don’t come up in route as often as you think either. To top it off, there are more trucks on the road than available truck parking spots.
