That looks alright. But i think one pressing issue is that the spaces, in all truckstops(and rest areas for that matter) NEED TO BE LONGER.

How would you address this?

Just yesterday i parked (or at least tried to) at the carney's pt. flying J with a single axle daycab and 53' trailer but i still stuck out a good 5 feet beyond the end of the lines!!!

This is not going to get better before it gets worse.

A nice effort, Madlux, but you forgot to include parking spaces and a kiosk for the lot lizards!!
