Truck stop
Hello, we are headed to Colorado in the fall. Are there areas in truck stops where we could park for the night on our way? Thanks

Everyone I have used has had open lanes and I tend to use them to get DEF at the pump.
Pumps are not the issue, fuel and move ASAP. We are talking over night parking. Rest areas are open to all first come. Wonder what the RVers would say the trucks would take over the RV parks? There is a nation wide shortage of commercial truck parking. There are some truck stops have dedicated RV parking, not the issue issue. Leave the truck spots for the trucks, pretty hard to find spaces that take 75' of truck. Think it's BS here some reading from the Federal highway commission.
