Probably not. The sleeper cab (once it was legalised) did for the many B&B places where drivers could stay, and the motorways and by-passes routed vehicles away from the usual stopping places (as well as the drivers' hours regulations altering the schedules).
Faster routes meant less need for stops, and drivers could snack in their cabs in comfort.
