Chicago freight aims early at the I-80 / I-94 Gary pocket — Petro
Gary #0369 (405 overnight spaces — largest published private count on
this page), TA Gary #0010 Burr St (318), and Love’s #417 Grant St
(154). South-suburb overnight chain stop: Petro Monee #0367 on I-57
Exit 335 (90). In-metro monthly / drop: MD Metals Midway / Bedford
Park, I55 Truck Parking Forest View, Semiyard Harvey, Outpost West
Dundee (1,000+ spaces). Nearest verified Blue Beacon: Lake Station
North (2 bays). Confirm with the operator.
IDOT rest-area overnight framing (lead with this):
92 Ill. Adm. Code 533 caps rest-area stays at three hours; sleeping
overnight on the grounds, benches, or in the building is prohibited;
camping / tents are prohibited. IDOT has stated that, given
truck-parking shortages and HOS rules, trucks are generally allowed
to rest overnight in vehicles at rest areas — the intent is to stop
multi-day living at sites. Posted signs and local enforcement still
win. Prefer private chain lots for a planned 10-hour break. See IL
rest rules.
Paid daily / monthly yard; in-cab overnight not separately published

I-57 Monee Exit 335 — Petro Monee 90 when Gary lots are tight or you need an Illinois south-suburb stop.
Rest framing for planning a 10-hour break on Chicago approaches.
Prefer private lots listed below. Posted signs still win. Not legal advice.
Three-hour duration cap (92 Ill. Adm. Code 533.30(c)):
The allowed duration of a rest-area stop shall not exceed three hours.
Stays may be limited further when capacity is approached; additional
limits will be posted. Source:
92 Ill. Adm. Code 533 (ILGA / JCAR).
Sleeping on grounds / camping prohibited (533.40):
Sleeping overnight on the grounds, benches, or in the building is
prohibited. Camping or erecting tents and shelters is prohibited.
The code does not expressly ban sleeping inside a commercial vehicle;
IDOT public statements have said trucks are generally allowed to park
so drivers can rest overnight given parking shortages and HOS —
intent is to stop multi-day living at rest areas. Prefer Petro /
TA / Love’s for a planned 10-hour HOS break.
Do not treat IDOT rest areas as drop yards:
Use private monthly yards (MD Metals, Outpost, Semiyard, I55) for
trailer staging / drop-and-hook. Rest areas are traveler rest, not
cargo transfer sites.
