What are the details of this proposed law?
How would it be implemented?
Upon whom would the burden fall?
What are the costs?
Most all businesses and even many many homes have products delivered by truck...what would be the scope of the proposal?
We must all be terrified in perpetual fear at all times. Even truckers.
I don't know about you, but I've been conditioned by years of combined government and media effort to know exactly how afraid I should be based solely on color-coding.
I think the next time someone dies from a peanut, we should just outlaw them. Or when a theif breaks into someones home, and the gun owner shoots them, we should outlaw that to protect the theives. Then, the next time someone dies in a car accident, we should outlaw them.
Why don't we just pass a law for everything?
Seriously, truck stops are safe, I've been to lots of them myself. Things happen, people kill people, but thats just the way of the world. You live in it, you die in it, but mostly you live in it.
Lately there have been a couple of new threads on the theme of requiring states to do this or that. I wonder where this all came from? People are always complaining about the government intruding in a variety of areas--but I guess when it's convenient, they'll accept some government intrusion.
P.S. If states aren't providing safe parking for truck drivers on their own, I can't imagine that another law on the books is going to solve the problem. All it'll do is create another level of bureaucracy...which we certainly don't need.

There is a need for safe parking. My question is whether laws are needed to provide this need? What do you think?
I think that if needed they should raise their taxes since they are a business for profit. No need for laws ;just for the funds to provide them.They; of course ;will pass it on in higher transportation prices.It a spending issue in a budget and budget item within a budget whether state or federal;most likely state since it parking.As far as parkigng when not on the road; that is their responsibilty.
