The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration enforces a complex set of rules for commercial truck drivers. For example, a commercial truck driver may only operate a truck 12 hours a day, or a maximum of 60 hours in 7 consecutive days. A driver is required to rest or sleep at least 8 hours between driving shifts. Truck drivers usually find the nearest truck stop to fill up with diesel fuel, make truck repairs, eat, and rest. If the truck does not have a sleeper compartment, the truck driver needs to find the nearest hotel or motel close to the truck stop to sleep during a layover.

A Portage, Indiana motel is a public lodging establishment for motor travelers. Motels have traditionally differed from hotels in that the former have facilities for free parking on the premises, are seldom more than three stories high, and offer occupants direct access to rooms without having to pass through a lobby. Portage, Indiana Motels are also generally smaller and farther away from urban areas, and they offer fewer services than hotels. The distinction between motels and hotels, however, is very difficult to make, especially in the case of the so-called motor hotels, which combine the characteristics of both types of establishment.
