I too was an OTR drive and did not have any issues to speak of.. more were at the truckstops with the door knocking beavers wanting a date.
Nowadays the cops ride through them all the time especially at night so the instances of issue is low.

Having been a OTR driver. I wouldn't suggest overnighting in a reas area. They can get pretty rough at night, and if you are in a MH you can just fire up and leave. But if you are in the trailer, It can be a long dangerous walk to the truck to move out of harms way
Off subject. But once while leaving the Petro near Dallas. One of our drivers had to stay the night, and of course the ladies were on the radio looking for dates. We told them where he was parked, and told them to come on over, as we ran up the ramp. Big Foot finally had to move his tractor to get some sleep.
And I do hope it has changed a lot. I can remember sitting in the truck in a rest area, as the girls with their pimps walked down the line of trucks asking for dates. Then we NEVER got out of the truck at night with out the tire billy.
