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

One time I waited here 15 minutes for a ride, another time I waited 6 hours, on average its 2-3 hours. Really hit and miss at this place. Get there as early as possible if you can and hope to get a ride quickly.―Haggismn
