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
My boss sucks, he's a cheapskate, and an incompetent boob, and I'd quit, but I don't know what else to do.
I'm self-employed.
Respect your employee more, let them have a decent night's sleep.
Fuck him, he's a bum. My other employees are awesome though.
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.
I hate Illinois nazis.
