We have the same problems here Andy. More and more rest areas with truck parking are closing down...and there is not anywhere near enough truck stops out there. Glad to see you stayed safe!
Thank you VERY(!!!) much for THIS video post!!!!! Das hier bringt den traurigen und alltäglichen Wahnsinn auf Europas Strassen getroffen-gut auf den Punkt...Sehr guter schnitt und super music-wahl! Mach weiter so! ***** Sterne!
It is Steve.. Next time I call you.. It was my own fault. I knew its hard to find a place after 7 pm.. But was bussy and need to drive the full 9 hours to can reload next day..THX for comment Steve..We keep in touch..
Great video Andy. I wanted to do the same one. We have absolutely no where to park at night here. We have to make sure we plan our trips so we can stop where there is some room to park at night and not go over our hours. There's nothing on any highway for trucks to stop for the night. One of the last times I went to the USA I was doing what you were doing. I finally stopped on the entrance to the freeway. At 7 AM I had a cop banging on my door wanting to give me a ticket. 5*
Hi Andy! You should come now in Italy to search a parking place in italian truckstops by night... they all started to respect driving and rest hours since september last year... :-)) You can imagine the truckstops...
No problem my friend.. Its the same thing in Austria and Germany to..To much trucks and to less parking lots..I think the new place in Brescia will help..THX for great comment.. Always like to drive in Itlay..
Danke für das Video! Wenn man einmal am Pannenstreifen übernachten musste, weiss man auch was du meinst! Und dann "ausgeschlafen" auf den Verkehr losrollen. Das ist geil!
So true. Welcome to Italy, there at least it is OK to park on the SOS shoulder... But you were parked flat, sometimes you can park with your truck leaning in the ditch, and then you sleep inclined. Cheers Andy, and excellent music. Cheers,' RT
Well done Andy, it makes me very angry that truckers have to park on emergency pullouts with no facilities and the ever present danger of being wiped out in a rear end crash. Every driver who gets prosecuted for time infringements should take this video to court and show the judge what it's really like trying to keep within the law. At least with the paper logbooks over the pond it is easy to 'bend' a little to find safety and security! 10*
I agreee Roberto but after 7pm its just impossible to find a place.. I saw ADR transport and Carhaulier parking on the side.. Have been at 4 rest areas all FULL.. I am glad this new Area in Brescia is now open..400 Parling lots are great..
Good vid. That's why sometimes I saw the sleeping trucks in strange places for what, like on the roadside of wide turn by the crossover..... There was a parking over two km, but the driver apparently didnt know that..... 5.
JUST CAN 100% agree with you.. I think the only thing we keep moving is we lov eour job..Money is it not woth at all. There are good and BAD days..More bad then good I see..
Bon video! Nous avons le meme probleme au Canada et aux Etats-Unis, apres 19H00, specialement dans les etats de Nord-Est, comme Nouveau York, Nouveau Jersey, Maryland, La Pennsylvanie, et Nouvelle Angleterre; Les etats sur la Cote De L'ouest comme L'Oregon, Le Washington, et La Californie; et dans les provinces du Canada de L'est comme L'Ontario, Les Martimes, et Le Quebec. Mais dans les autres place, il-y-a beaucoup des "centres-voyageurs" avec grandes surfaces pour les camions.
THX Andy.. Just agree its time for a strike but we have no lobby and no big community to do that..And our bosses don't even care..Its our problem.. BIG BIG THX for great comment.
I know this problem. We did a survey at parking De Poppe at the German-Dutch Border (A1/A30). Capacity: 150 trucks, but sometimes over 200 and even 250 were parked there. This is only to become MUCH worse in the coming years. Europe needs to ACT on this problem, not just taxing the trucks that keep this country alive.
Great video Andy. It's hard to believe how much money destined for road infrastructure are going to the politicans' vallet. Be careful on the road, and as polish drivers says - "Szerokości".
Ich auch.. Hauptsache alle Bannanen sind gleich krumm..Und das mit dem Kreuzen geht sowie so zu WEIT.. Schöne Woche noch Walter.. Danke fürs reinschauen.
Very good vid! I cant understand why they dont do anything... Its dangerous to live like that, especially when their is such a big amount who does it. Is it this full every night?
Wahnsinn, das Video. Sehr gut gemacht und die Musik ist Spitze. Es gruselt mich noch immer wenn ich nur an die 45 Minuten Pausen in so einer Bucht denke. Du hast das Problem auf der stark befahrenen A4sehr gut gezeigt. Viel zu wenig Parkplätze auch in Italien. Trucker die hier Parken haben ihr Führerhaus nach rechts eingeschlagen um bei einem Auffahrunfall noch eine Überlebenschance zu haben. 6* Gib auf dich acht mein Freund!
BUT HOW?? I don't see huge job sites who building new parking lots..Think we have to handle this problem..after 7 am there are no places for huge trucks..
even after seeing this and knowing the hard reallity .. its still MY DREAM to become an international trucker, just finishing my licence, God bless all the truckers out there. keep safe brothers.
hi andy.well i guess i will have to come over and open a new truck stop,and if i do that you know that you will allways have a spot.its the same over here to my friend.drive safe.
Danke Sebbo.. Ich war in Italien Nähe Venedig.. Ab 7 Uhr ist alles voll.. Ist doch in Deutschland auch nicht viel besser..Hoffe nur das sie endlich neue Plätze bauen von userer Maut..
Earlier in this video was different soundtrack, finally found it and want to share name: Girls Under Glass - Halloween. Hope it's what You were looking for.
I agree IAN.. You wont ever get drivers to getter and the BIG BOSSES don't even care about it.. You have to make your breaks and pay your tickets..not the BOSS..
yea the mates that just was down there didnt understand at first why trucks was parked with the arse out on the highway, but they found spots at the places that charge a few euros for parking. then it was security and service, running high value loads for the oil industry so thats important.
thats a big problem andy but every night many truckers search a place to sleep nice video and nice musik 5+* good luck to the next time take care greetings Pappie24 :-))
In Romania all the trucks must park on the side of the road or in a gas station!!They don't have truckstops.And when you park on the side of the road it is dangerous because the thiefs can come and can kidnap your goods or the reserve wheel!!
I think they knew whats going on but even dont care about us.. If you drivien more then 4.5 hour your get a ticket ..if you make less then 11 hours dayly break you get a ticket..But nobody tells you where you can park your truck for 11 hours safe and legal..
Top! Ich hatte auch immer ein extrem schlechtes Gefühl wenn ich mal so parken mußte. Dass Vid sollte man mal an ein paar Politiker schicken und Fernsehsender, aber für die sind wir ja eh nur die blöden. Auf der Strecke von Oslo nach Bergen, über 500 Km Landstrasse, habe ich 3(!!)offizielle LKW Parkplätze wo auch auch nur so 5 LKW max parken können! Bon route, Chris
In the Netherlands on motorway A1 the police wake you up and thell you to leave because to dangarous how you fix your sleepinghours that is your problem keep doing the good work Andy greetings from Holland MERC608
Truck drivers should get the best facilities as they keep the whole world turning as without them delivering through all kinds of weather the world would be fxxked .good video Andy .
At us in Latvia this problem still worst. New roads which do with participation of money of the European Union didnt provided vacation spot. And as a result at construction destroy also those which were build at the USSR - by the way still in a decent condition.
Frigofahrer sind den Lärm ja gewöhnt... ;o) Ist aber echt ein allgegenwärtiges Problem. Wirklich schlimm. Du warst in Italien unterwegs? Aber: Am ersten Parkplatz hätt´ ich mich gleich neben den anderen Tanker gestellt.
I also was expecting that.. Italian police do the same..But its not just a problem there..All over Europe are to much trucks and to less parking lots.. I can tell you I saw trucks with hazzard good parked beside the road..every 500 Meters...If you driving after 7 pm its impossible to get a free parking lot here.. Take care my friend...Andy
aber he, gegen den lärm hab i mir angewöhnt immer oropax mit, die dinger aus wachs mit watte drüber, super angenehm zum schlafen wenns nachts mal lauter is weil mei actros is nix als blech mit innen an leintuch drüber gespannt...da hörst sogar de leut reden die 100m weit weg sind
that's to dangerous. thiefs can take your laptop and spray gas in your cabin so you are in a deep sleep and they take all your stuff away including you load.
I AGREE..
I am always wondering how and where this trucks are parking..Like you said 250 trucks on 150 lots..
We have the same problems here Andy. More and more rest areas with truck parking are closing down...and there is not anywhere near enough truck stops out there. Glad to see you stayed safe!
It was no good one Jepp..
First and last time i did that..
better to pay 200 Euros then to risk your life..
thx for comment..

Dacht mir das selbe..
Wurde mal Zeit für die trauige Wahrheit..
I was in italy 2 weeks back. It was the same problem with parkings.. all full.
Also on brennerpas italy-austria..
I know this problem. We did a survey at parking De Poppe at the German-Dutch Border (A1/A30). Capacity: 150 trucks, but sometimes over 200 and even 250 were parked there.
This is only to become MUCH worse in the coming years. Europe needs to ACT on this problem, not just taxing the trucks that keep this country alive.
I agree..
its easy to give a driver a ticket and to send him away..but it wont change anything..

In Spain it is very rare to see this type of siding, highway !!!!!!
only in service areas, and roads.
BUT HOW??
I don't see huge job sites who building new parking lots..Think we have to handle this problem..after 7 am there are no places for huge trucks..
That's a problem over here to believe it or not Andy, on the busy highways you can't find a spot, Governments should do something about it!!
10000000000% agree with you friend..
And no chage seams to come..
So we try to alive
even after seeing this and knowing the hard reallity .. its still MY DREAM to become an international trucker, just finishing my licence, God bless all the truckers out there. keep safe brothers.
the answer... this is italy!!
there aren't many parks or services for trucks...
great andy!! good video
hi andy.well i guess i will have to come over and open a new truck stop,and if i do that you know that you will allways have a spot.its the same over here to my friend.drive safe.
It's just not fair, we have the same problem here on most roads. I hope have better luck next time Andy, stay safe man....
may be its the same like in Europe..
1000 spot for 2000 trucks..
in ireland we have only 1 credible truck stop and its in dublin and on most of our motorways there are no services at all not even toilets
good video man, and sad. many times I have to face the same problem.
Danke Sebbo..

Mann, mann, mann!!!! Das ändert sich wohl nie!? Trotzdem weiterhin gute Fahrt!!!!
Days like these..
Nice truck!
really? i thought there would be so many parking lots in the us (e.g. flying jay with at least 1000 per truck stop)
Good video and very good music
I need first song name please:)
