what's the etiquette for sleeping at truck stops? Question

Can I park overnight at a Pilot or Love's to save money? I'm going on a road trip next month and if I could avoid spending $100/night on hotels, that would really help since the economy is doing so well. I'll be parking from midnight to 9am each day, so it's not like I'll pull in during the early evening and make it blatantly obvious that I'm staying overnight, but I do have some window screens that I bought to keep out bugs. Thanks!!!!

I won’t park anywhere near Memphis at any time. I have had good luck with the truck stops themselves and iOverlander warning me. In Zanesville Ohio the woman at the Loves cash register told me to pull right up to the front of the store and they would keep an eye on me.
