Truck Drivers Opinions Sought By TxDOT

The Texas Department of Transportation would like to know what truck drivers think about a variety of issues particularly with Interstate 30 in Northeast Texas.

TxDOT says that approximately one in three vehicles traveling Interstate 30 is a semi-trailor truck. That is exactly the reason why the I-30 East Texas Corridor Study group has created a hotline for truck drivers to text or call so that their ideas and concerns can be heard and included in a study.

Here are a few things the study group would like to know:

Does there need to be more truck stops?

Do safety measures need improvement?

Does I-30 need dedicated restricted lanes for trucks and passenger vehicles?

What other improvements along I-30 need to be made?

Anyone wanting to voice their suggestions and concerns can text or call 434-TRUCK30, that's 434-878-2530. The Texas Department of Transportation asks that truckers who want to respond do so by the end of this month, August 31, to have their ideas and thoughts included in the study results.
