some of the pullouts are large, some barely enough for a motorhome and another vehicle.
We tend to not like feeling the RV rock&roll as the semi-trucks barrel on by through the night. As Joe mentioned, you'll also have others pulling in, pulling out, idling, maybe poking around.
If we're boondocking, we get as far off the highway as possible. If an area doesn't have signage indicating no overnight parking, then it is fine to set up camp. Most of the pullouts near a community have these signs though.
Do be sure you aren't on a driveway to someone's cabin though. A few times we've had problems getting out or in because of tents or RVs on the driveway. Have had to wake RVers up to move so we can get to town early in the morning. Just because it is a long driveway in the middle of nowhere and looks rustic doesn't mean someone doesn't live at the end of the road!
