Angry Cali syndrome, HA!
I have slept on many an on-ramp before, mostly when I was first starting out because my trip planning skills weren't all that good! I have even had to sleep on an off-ramp, but I try and do less of that since it is dangerous. But when it's time to take a nap, whaddya gonna do?
And I have gone over hours before looking for a 'safe' place to sleep. THankfully there are still states (like VA and OH) that don't bug sleeping drivers (YET!), and turnouts (like on the PA turnpike) where you can get a few winks when you need to.

(BTW, there is another thread about this in the 'truck stops here' listing)

Well honor roll, as was mentioned, sometimes the ramps are all that is left. We all agree that there is a huge shortage of parking; instead of driving safely if you can rest on a ramp then it's better than the alternative.

Is it the driver who would be responsible for paying such a ticket or will the company chip in?

Most companies don't want to even "chip in" on break downs of their own equip. much less a ticket of ANY kind.If you park it there then I'll guarantee you'll pay it.As you should.

I gotta second Muleskinner, most tickets are the driver's responsibility.

People do it all the time in Florida. I kid you not, even when there is a rest stop with plenty of open spaces right by the on ramp . I laughed at that one.

Maybe they slept that way so long their heads are on crooked and they can't sleep no other way but on tilt.
