Research Outline

Truck Stops & Parkings

Goals

To build a list of public and private truck stops and truck parkings in the following 4 areas:
  • District 5 (Florida)
  • Hwy I-35 (Texas)
  • Hwy I-30 (Arkansas)
  • Hwy I-40 (Tennessee & Arkansas)
For the truck stops and parkings, we will provide the:
  • Name of Business (e.g. Love’s Truck Stop)
  • Location (City, State)
  • Ownership Type (e.g. Public Government, Private Company)
  • Owner name (e.g. Arkansas DOT).

Early Findings

Data Availability

  • The initial round of research indicates that data availability is adequate on this topic.

District 5 (Florida)

Summary

  • The required information about public and private truck stops and truck parking in District 5, Hwy I-35, Hwy I-30, and Hwy I-40 (Tennessee & Arkansas) is provided in the attached spreadsheet.
  • We focused the initial research on providing public and private truck stops and truck parking in District 5. However, additional research time is required to provide the required information for the rest of the areas and also to populate each parking/stop by providing the name of the business (e.g. Love’s Truck Stop), the location (city, state), ownership type (e.g. public government, private company), and the owner's name (e.g. Arkansas DOT).
  • Details on our recommended research paths have been provided in our proposals below.
