it might be a niche, but I think that it would be cool to be able to search for Truckerparkings just as easy as using the search option with icons.

Niels, I can not speak for MRA, but I can write my opinion.
Navigation for trucks is a special business field and such services creates at the end costs.
As I wrote in another comment, attributes for navigation are be collected by only a few companies and they prepare these attributes for Navigation devices industrie. TomTom has his own market with devices and automotive industry as custumer. Here has a few Sat-Nav customers, first of all Garmin and the automotive industrie too. By the way, Here is owned by MB, BMW, Audi, and some other moneybusiness partners. Opposite to these companies, who need to earn money the OSM family was founded to collect data for navigation devices in the beginning for the Garmin outdoor sat-navs.
Google earns with G-Maps by using your personal data and advertising, Apple too.
MRA has now a contract with Here for the data, map and routingengine.
Here sell their attributes in data packeges. And each additional Attribut package cost money.To be fair, look at the market and you see that those distributor for Navigation Apps or devices sell Truck related navigation containing special information only for extra charge.
The simplest and easy way up to now, may Googl maps has those data and you set your own POI.
