Another day, another truck parking survey. Sigh. Yes, that's my first reaction upon news of yet another survey, study and/or hearing around what should now be an issue of principal importance for national supply chains and infrastructure planners.
Longtime parking-issues advocate and former owner-operator now working with the TSPS parking provider, Scott Grenerth had a similar gut reaction when he sent along news of the Atlanta region's metropolitan planning organization's (MPO) new survey aimed at truckers who commonly haul to, through or within the region -- one that's been described in past as a veritable #parkingdesert, to use the hashtag our own Paul Marhoefer put on a particular stretch of I-75 North through Atlanta some years ago.
"Yaaaaaay," wrote Grenerth. "Yet another study."
Yet he didn't let cynicism get the best of him.
"I do know this can help lead to action eventually," he added. "So I'm hoping that will be the long-term outcome."
