The American Transportation Research Institute wants to know how drivers prefer to learn about available truck parking through automated information systems.

ATRI surveyed drivers on this topic at the Mid-America Trucking Show in Louisville last month. More than 300 drivers completed surveys.

ATRI said in a statement that the lack of available truck parking continues to rank as a top issue in its annual industry survey. Parking was the second-ranked issue for drivers in 2018 after the hours-of-service rules.

The institute said research findings will provide states and private sector entities providing truck parking information with the driver-preferred data formats and methods of information delivery.

ATRI will collect driver responses on the truck parking survey through the end of May.
