Ep. 71 – The Truck Parking Crisis: Why It’s Risking Lives Nationwide || After the Crash Podcast

Truck drivers can’t find safe places to park—and it’s costing lives.
In this episode of After the Crash, David Craig sits down with Noah Volz of Truck Parking Club to unpack one of the most dangerous and overlooked issues in the trucking industry: the national truck parking shortage.

Every night, over 70% of truckers struggle to find legal, safe parking—forcing them to stop in dangerous locations like highway shoulders, exit ramps, or abandoned lots. These choices can lead to devastating wrecks that claim innocent lives. David and Noah explore how lack of parking contributes to deadly crashes, what drivers are doing to cope, and how new technology is helping bridge the gap.

✔️ How the truck parking shortage leads to serious crashes
✔️ Why government funding alone isn’t fixing the problem
✔️ How Truck Parking Club is helping drivers find legal, safe parking spots
✔️ The real cost of “free” parking: time, fuel, and safety
✔️ Who should be paying for parking—drivers or companies?

This is a must-watch for truck accident victims, their families, and anyone who wants safer roads.
