Maybe I'm missing something blatantly obvious to everyone else, but why aren't wider parking spaces used and marked out?
Rear overhang less likely to clout adjacent vehicles in the turn?

Actually, some new truck stops and a very few older ones are doing just this. Wider spaces, especially in rest stops does help prevent this situation but, as digr said, the more spaces ya got, the more trucks can get in and the more money you are likely to make.
