I break down the practical reasons behind that decision, from crowded parking and drivers’ hours to overnight costs and security. I compare Moto, Welcome Break and Roadchef with independent truck stops, looking at parking tariffs, meal vouchers, showers, fuel cards and the limits of night-out money. I also examine why some drivers choose lay-bys, industrial estates, delivery yards or smaller private sites instead. Finally, I look at the trade-off between price, availability and lorry crime, including what makes a well-lit, secure service area worth paying for. The best place to stop depends on the run, the budget and what is waiting at the end of the day.
