I've never stayed in a retail parking lot. There is something uncomfortable about it to me.
Truck stops are pretty handy in a pinch, and I've used one here and there when I drove late and didn't have a reservation anywhere. If I leave my house and drive the same time in the same direction I end up in the same places, but I mix it up by just driving an extra hour or two at the front of the trip. Any difference in distance is offset for the whole trip. Of course there are some pretty sparse areas out there without places to stop so sometimes it makes no difference.
