No Overnight Parking at Interstate Rest Areas
I know a number of states do not allow overnight parking at the state-run rest areas along the interstates. Has anyone been asked to leave one of these locations during the night? We've stayed in them...

Truckers do not have to have access to rest areas for overnight parking.
All rest stops that I have seen in MI have a separate area for trucks and trailer. If the area is full, I have seen trucks park on the shoulder of the rest stop entrance ramp back on to the interstate. This also gives them an easy "get away".
I know that there are "rest time" laws for commercial truckers. Why any state would not allow at LEAST that amount of time "off the road" in any rest stop is hard to believe.
