Summary
Louisiana just landed a $640K federal grant to tackle a deadly truck parking crisis on I-10 and I-12, where 23,000 big rigs roll through daily. With drivers forced to park on dangerous shoulders and ramps, officials say it’s led to 18 fatal crashes in just two years — a safety nightmare they’re now trying to fix. The study will map high-demand spots and explore expanding parking on state land or partnering with private truck stops. This isn’t just about safety — it’s vital for Louisiana’s $331 million annual freight economy. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
