Finding a safe place to park is just one of the many challenges facing truck drivers. There’s just one space for every 11 trucks, according to the American Trucking Associations, which estimates drivers spend 56 minutes looking for available parking, amounting to about $5,500 in lost compensation. In this episode of Talking Transports, Evan Shelley, co-founder and CEO of Truck Parking Club, joins Bloomberg Intelligence’s senior transportation and logistics analyst, Lee Klaskow, to share how his company is tackling the problem, which also poses a safety risk to the driving public. Shelley discusses building scale and explains how his real estate experience led him to the trucking industry.
