Benefits from New Truck Parking
The notice says creating new truck parking spaces can lower carriers' costs, increase drivers' well-being, and reduce the number of crashes. FMCSA will use survey results (about 1,000 driver responses) combined with other research to estimate those monetary and safety benefits.
Truck Drivers Asked to Take Survey
If you are a commercial truck driver, FMCSA plans to ask about 1,000 drivers to complete a 25-minute online survey. The agency estimates a total burden of 416 hours, an estimated cost of $15.19 per respondent (about $15.19 x 1,000 respondents = $15,185.66), and requests public comment by January 27, 2026.
