In this episode, Evan Shelley, CEO of Truck Parking Club, discusses the platform’s explosive growth—from just a few hundred locations to over 1,400 across the U.S.—and how it’s helping tens of thousands of drivers find safe parking every day. 

Evan breaks down the challenges of a truck parking shortage, the heated debate around transitioning from free to paid parking, and how innovative tech solutions are streamlining the process.
