• Specifically, overlay information on high-traffic truck routes and existing truck parking locations to identify the locations with truck parking shortage problems in the US.
• Provide the locations in text format or through a map image.

Shortage in Arkansas

• According to the Federal Highway Administration, Arkansas faces major truck parking shortage issues. Arkansas has only "66-83 parking spaces per 100,000 daily truck vehicle miles traveled."
• Until recently, the worst area for trucking parking in Arkansas was the stretch of the I-30 highway between Little Rock and Texarkana. However, due to the closure of the I-40 bridge, the span of the I-40 highway between Memphis and Little Rock has become a packed rest area for truck drivers. Therefore, the parking situation is very unmanaged there.
• The map for the stretch of the I-30 highway between Little Rock and Texarkana has been provided here.
• The map for the span of the I-40 highway between Memphis and Little Rock has been provided here. 

Shortage in Other Locations

• According to a report published by the Federal Highway Administration in December 2020, the I-95 highway, Chicago area, and California are some areas with truck parking shortage problems.
• The maps for Chicago and California are attached here and here, respectively.
•  Other areas with truck parking issues include the pacific corridors, states surrounding the Chicago region, and the I-95 mid-Atlantic and north region.

Summary

• Within the first hour, we have been able to provide some locations in the US that suffer from a truck parking storage problem.
• These findings were extracted from reports and articles based on the official research conducted by the Federal Highway Administration.
• For additional locations, we recommend further research. Details on our recommended research paths have been provided in our proposals below.
• For all our research, we would focus on the United States.
