Orr adds that most drivers are running only 7.5 hours out of their 11 allotted hours, and then quit to find parking. “That’s money out of their pocket, and our pocket too,” he says. “That concerns me. We don’t have enough parking, and if we layer up construction, that could make that
number worse than it even is now.”
