• Abstract:
  A trillion or so pounds of freight move through Florida each year, mostly in semi tractor trailers. These trucks are a major presence on Florida’s highways and come with major safety concerns. To reduce the possibility of collisions, drivers are specially trained and licensed. They also work under rules that require breaks and rest periods; yet, increasing commercial truck travel has led to greater demands on the limited truck parking at Florida’s interstate rest areas.
