Buffalo / Niagara overnight freight aims early at the I-90 Exit 48A

TA Pembroke #0194 — 132 overnight), then southwest on the Thruway to
Native Pride Irving (Exit 58, overnight published without a stall
count) and Love’s #833 Ripley (Exit 61 — 73). I-90 east toward
Rochester / Syracuse adds Love’s #820 Waterloo (75). South approaches:
TA Dansville on I-390 (102) and Love’s #772 Bath on I-86 (70). West on
I-90 into Pennsylvania: TA Harborcreek (266) with Blue Beacon on site.
Confirm with the operator.
New York rest / Thruway overnight framing (strict — lead with this):
NYSDOT
17 NYCRR 156.3
limits parking longer than three hours during hours of darkness at
rest / parking areas and scenic overlooks, except a commercial motor
vehicle may remain motionless up to ten hours if the driver is present
and using the time as required off-duty or sleeper-berth HOS rest —
unless signs say otherwise. Vehicles generally must not be left
unattended; no vehicle more than 24 hours. Separately, the New York
State Thruway Authority states service areas are
not designed for long-term parking or multi-day stays;
unattended vehicles left more than four hours may be towed. Prefer
private chain lots below for a planned 10-hour break. Follow posted
signs.
Planning summary for overnight-capable options on this page.

NY rest rules (NYSDOT + Thruway)
New York is strict on rest areas relative to Texas-style 24-hour
framing. Prefer private lots listed below for a planned 10-hour break.
NYSDOT rest / parking areas / scenic overlooks
(17 NYCRR 156.3):
Parking longer than three hours during hours of darkness is not
permitted, except a CMV may remain motionless up to ten hours if the
driver is present and required to use the period as off-duty or
sleeper-berth time under HOS — unless NYSDOT posts otherwise.
Vehicles shall not be left unattended except narrow mechanical-failure
notice rules. No vehicle more than 24 hours.
Thruway Authority service areas
(thruway.ny.gov service areas):
Open 24 hours with diesel at plazas, but
not designed for long-term parking or multiple-day stays.
Unattended vehicles left more than four hours are subject to tow.
Nearby Buffalo-direction plazas include Pembroke (EB MP 397),
Clarence (WB MP 412), and Angola (EB/WB MP 447) — treat as short
rest / fuel stops for planning, not reserved overnight products.
Do not apply Texas “overnight up to 24 hours” to New York rest areas
or Thruway plazas. Posted signs still win.
