Authorities in Indiana have opted to allow trucks to park at most of the state’s weigh stations to aid truckers during the COVID-19/Coronavirus outbreak.
From the Indiana Motor Truck Association:
The Indiana State Police has opened all Indiana weigh stations to ALL truck drivers for parking 24/7 (except Seymour due to construction on I-65) in conjunction with the FMCSA HOS waiver. You do not need to be hauling essential goods for the waiver to park. Thank you to our partners at the Indiana State Police.
