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...

Reason to let the truckers have the rest stop parking spots is curtesy. This is not the best place or time to assert your tax-payer's rights. We all live and work in the same world, and helping out our neighbor and fellow driver is by far the best thing to do.
Trucking is the backbone of the American economy.
I will use a rest area at times; they are not always full at night with big rigs, but I do hate the constant hum of big engines. I never use them if I would displace a trucker who would be forced to the next location. You see truckers parked along exit and entrance ramps all the time - off-camber, sloping and not the safest place to stop with vehicles wizzing by.
Sometimes you can get away with sleeping on the car side of a rest area, these are always empty at night as car drivers will stay in hotels - very few sleep in their cars over night.
