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.

    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
