It works if you have the courage to talk to people. When it does work, the distances can be HUGE. 1 man and a female presenting person in a wheelchair.Good camping spot near the petrol pumps.

I stood by the traffic lights with a sign saying M74 south. It worked like a charm and almost immediately good a ride near Carlisle. The traffic lights stop for some time and especially during morning, there is quite a cue of cars.―martih

Quite large gas station. But pretty bad for direction Glasgow. I think I got a mercy ride out of here, but I think you are much better when heading towards Edinburgh or Stirling.―martih

This is a decent spot, but if you have the option to pick a gas station, I would opt for the larger one closer to Glasgow. Here many rental cars refuel for the airport.―martih

Hitching South would have been faster. Hitched with sign at the exit of petrol station. Asking would have been faster but I'm awkward―Ryancomet

Fantastic spot! Great traffic flow on a Saturday. Bring a sign because traffic could be going a lot of different directions.―Ryancomet

I had bad luck hitching at the services, so I tried the hotel. Not great, but I got a long ride to Glasgow. So a win.―mossenmoons

There is a petrol station around here ! a god place to head south... Take the bus from Glasgow city center (buchanan station) to uddingston and ask the driver to be dropped the closest as possible to the M74, the petrol station !!―Anonymous
