Capacity additions shown above are mostly led by FDOT, whose level of involvement is indicated by the stars in the far-right column -- three stars indicate FDOT-led projects. Collins outlined three broad priorities that characterize these additions: 1) Leverage existing truck parking facilities 'Solutions C-1, C-2, C-3 and C-5 highlight the opportunity to use existing FDOT facilities to address truck parking needs. Specifically, looking for opportunities to redesign rest areas and public truck parking facilities to add spaces through a more efficient use of paved space, encourage the use of under-utilized truck parking facilities by providing additional amenities, develop additional truck parking at existing facilities, and allowing trucks to use park and rides at night.' 2) Develop new truck parking spaces 'C-4 and C-6 denote developing truck parking spaces that are new and not located near an existing truck parking facility or that leverage existing Right-of-Way (ROW) that could be used for truck parking. 3) Partner to develop new truck parking spaces 'C-7 and C-8 present the opportunity for FDOT to partner with the private sector to develop new truck parking spaces using a public-private partnership or working with local municipalities to develop additional truck parking.'

Shown here is owner-operator Jason Chamberlain's 1985 Kenworth W900B, powered by a Big Cam Cummins with a 13-speed. He owns two trailers -- a 55-ton, three-axle XL Specialized RGN and a 2017 Benson three-axle, low-pro step deck.

High-dollar freight means high cost consideration: Heavy and oversize hauling
There is a lot of nuance to the heavy-haul/oversize trucking niche. Equipment is more expensive, insurance requirements are higher, permitting and pilot cars add operational costs and much more. Are the rates worth the hassle?
