    The parking problem could be greatly ameliorated if our entrance and exit ramps were improved to safely and legally allow truck parking. There are times such as working at night when no other options are available. We already use them throughout the nation. So, level out and widen the shoulders on as many ramps outside of large cities as possible so that when we need to park here, we can without the dread of an officer knocking on our door. Legal and level….namely, who wants to sleep in a crooked house! Seriously, I know this would be expensive but it sure is a simpler solution than waiting for decades for beaurocrats to approve building projects. Let’s enhance what we are already using.

      Their idea of the need to build a fancy, resort styled rest area merely reflects how fat they live as bureaucrats. Truckers don't need huge landscaped areas, they need a large concrete lot, with trash bins, plumbed bathrooms with sinks and mirrors and soap, and a lots of lights. Throw in an armed security patrol for the truckers who don't carry their own security devices.

In many states that are in the same boat. Honestly, many rest areas across the country are just closed down.

    2. Where is my 2 extra hours of drive time having to fight the chaotic traffic through Baltimore? If they can give an exemption for port traffic, then there is no reason they can’t give to us all unless the government is using the HOS to limit our earning potential. Why limit truckers earnings?

Finding truck parking in that area has been a real problem for some time. And of course they won't mention, before that new rest area was open they closed down the existing Bozeman rest area

Rush hour use to be pretty heavy with some usual spots for slowdowns during rush hour. Now, it’s grid lock trying to get past Baltimore. A couple of extra hours per day might be enough to get around the bridge closure.

    They need to start clarifying what "truck parking" should be in the transportation industry or be reworded like for CMV parking only! The amount of times people have parked their campers and pickup truck with the tiniest trailer attached to it only to absorb a parking for our fellow drivers! These days people need to know that if you want convenience in their cities they need to open up parking or allow parking in the industrial parks.

    It's a great idea for that rest area to expand thier facilities just wish they could make it exclusive for big rigs, and part of and next to, for SUVs 4 wheelers and camper's. A minimum fee of $10 for 24 hrs would be great to have clean facilities security and parking enforcement.

    I know a few people who switched companies. The problem they are having is these companies are expecting a big upswing in the market and are trying to prepare. The bad is there is not enough loads and so they are sitting. Their old jobs were getting them 3,000 miles per week but their new company is only getting them 1500-2300 miles per week. They are having to threaten their dispatchers of quitting to get extra miles. The new companies are having to take unfavorable loads to keep the drivers moving which keeps rates down. I see there are high load rejection, flat on volume, and increase in capacity. Not good.

    OF COURSE THERE IS A LOT OF DRIVING JOB positions, it called clean up, fire the 80 cents driver and get a new one for 60 cents, little by little exchanging for how it was before because high prices is not for ever, about FMCSA allowing 2 more hours, go ahead and do it until get a violation for driving over 11 hours, it won't worth it just stays on the normal hours and out trouble because when freight isn't moving more the load pay
