    is there certain states that have issues with trucks that have to park on the ramps on the interstates and highways? I am going to attempt to deliver a load in Illinois tomorrow and will be pushing the 14hr rule.

    You will not push the 14 hour rule. You will plan your trip at the 12th hour on the map and know in advance which truckstop or lawful rest area you will park at legally when complete.

    Parking on interstates stopped in the late 80's

    Though I still see it happening. Thanks for the info. Do you think when the ELogs become mandatory we will see more trucks parked/shut down in places other than lawful rest areas/ truck stops?

    With e log you can drive to 1st safe place to park after your 11 due to unforeseen circumstances....just don't make a habit of it....but you need to plan your trip.

    I usually run up to 12am and gave up trying to find parking at truck stops or rest areas long time ago. I just try to book my loads that way, so I spend the night at the receiver.
    I am expecting a big horrible mess, especially in the North East, there is no place to park there even during day time
