HOS * USA - Few Kansas rest sites
This state and others need more parking places for big rigs so truck drivers can rest when mandated by law, the drivers say
Salina,KS,USA -Associated Press/Kansas.com -25 Sept 2007: -- Truckers who are required by federal law to take rest breaks say they often have a hard time finding places to pull over in Kansas... Truck stop parking lots and roadside rest areas are often filled with idling 18-wheelers, especially in the evenings. That's a problem for truckers, who are required to pull over after 11 hours of driving and rest for 10 hours... Efforts are under way to address the parking problem. Congress has authorized increased funding to help states and communities to build more truck parking, and some states are testing technology to guide drivers to available parking places...
