    I often sleep in my car while traveling for work. It doesn’t make sense to pay $100 plus, when I’m only going to be in it for 6 hours.

    I ALWAYS park in a rest area or a truck stop, and I’ve never had an issue.

      If your company is not paying expenses for a hotel, get another job.

      Crazy what Americans have to go through

      At a rest stop or truck stop it’s expected that truckers are a sleep. I know Michigan can be full of truck stops while Illinois has maybe one that I know, more like a welcome center. I’m actually impressed that Michigan invested into so many stops. While driving through some parts the country I got a piss into a bottle or behind a dumpster. The dumpster is fun, I can scare the shit out of random employees taking out the trash. I could also end up unconscious, risky

        Careful out there.

        I don’t have much experience driving through Illinois outside of one trip where on & off ice was the issue. I wasn’t processing rest areas at the time. I like driving in the south.
