Truck drivers, carriers and shippers for years have had to grapple with what seems like a simple problem - where to park. On this episode of The Intermodal Logistics Podcast, learn why the problem hasn't been so simple - costing truckers about an hour a day to deal with - until now, with co-Founder and CEO of Truck Parking Club Evan Shelley. Evan tells us about the app - think AirBNB for truck parking - which has more than 1900 locations since it launched in late 2022, and how it benefits all those aforementioned parties - plus lot owners.
He discusses how he identified the problem, the many types of spots available, planning ahead vs booking on short notice (both are possible), incorporating free parking at rest stops into the app, and how it offers solutions for just about any scenario - including short-term and long-term parking, as well as containers. Evan also takes us through other potential uses for the app's data, how it relates to cargo theft, and his goal to reach 10,000 locations sooner than you might think.
