No Overnight Parking at Interstate Rest Areas

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.

I'm with you on this one, not my choice for a overnight. To many better choices for a quick stop. Since I'm retired no need for marathon driving. I'll look for a Passport America campground for a cheap overnight. If I need a short rest a box store or Cracker Barrel works well and you don't have the noise to contend with. Cracker barrel will even serve breakfast in the morning.
