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.
