I haven't seen this mentioned yet, so I'll throw it out there.
These are OTR trucks with sleeper cabs. Why are they at a hotel and not at an off-ramp, a rest area or an obscure truck stop?
If they're just "on their way" to Charlotte, they could've kept driving in or stopped somewhere besides a hotel in a heavily trafficked part of town.
I thought the same thing. Maybe they slept in the trucks earlier. I believe they can only drive for so long before they have to pull over.
