Driver-built parking directory launches with no live-space guarantee
· Source: FreightWaves
FreightWaves reports that veteran driver Shawn Gresham launched Trucking Life With Shawn, a free directory he says lists 2,031 parking locations across 45 states, plus roadside-service contacts and estimated diesel prices.
Summary and practical context by RoadHouse Recruiting · Reviewed
Available directory and planned tools are separate
The directory does not show real-time parking availability, and some overnight-parking listings remain unverified. Navigation and trip-planning tools are still under development. The founder's fuel-price estimates are not a comprehensive market average; the site also earns referral and featured-listing revenue.
Understanding the update
Listing counts and product capabilities are reported founder claims, not an independent guarantee of parking availability or truck-safe navigation.
What it means for drivers and carriers
Use directories as a starting point, confirm access and overnight rules directly, and keep a backup parking plan within legal driving time.
Questions to consider
- Has the location confirmed truck access and overnight permission?
