Answers:
I watched it, too, and it seemed rather clear to me, but I know my mind doesn't run along the lines of a lot of people~perhaps because I'm accustomed to brainstorming writing sessions with a friend!. Anyway, I visited the IMDB forum to compare notes, and others obviously were quite puzzled (some angrily) at the film!. Since you asked for some answers, I won't make you hunt for them on the forum but will copy and paste here, meaning others should be aware there are ***SPOILERS***!. Maybe this will help!.
From IMDB review:
Author: TheVillageCharlatan
The religious family killed "The Driver"!. (MY NOTE: Remember the scene near the end where the man is burying the body~the driver of the pickup truck, who probably was on the wrong side of the road again!.)

"The Driver" came back as a ghost and killed the religious family!. Note: He does not die even when his truck burns into flames, but rather comes and attacks the girl!. (Later, the truck was shown to be fully intact!.)

"The Driver" then killed people who came to the rest stop!.

Some of those people (including the girl in the closet) came back as ghosts!. Note: The girl disappears along with the blood she vomited, within seconds after talking to the protagonist!.

The religious family still exists as ghosts to preach their judgment of sinners!. Note: they drive the van with the girl in it for a long time, and yet finally the girl is dropped just in front of the notice board, a point where she had started her journey!. It's they who take pictures of the future victims!. (MY NOTE: Remember the flash from the van as the black girl gets out of her car to go to the restroom, which has been repaired after being "vandalized", meaning all of the notes are painted over again very likely!. The ranger cautions her about wet paint!.)

When Nicole is killed, she came back as a ghost at the end!. That is the reason the ranger does not see her, but the future victim hears her voice and sees her!. (MY NOTE: Remember the flash of movement~a weapon likely~as Nicole starts to turn around!. Right there, she's either killed outright or taken to where she, too, will be tortured!.)

The motorcycle cop is also ghost!. There's no human being on Earth (including Arnold and Chuck Norris), who would be able to say, "You missed me" after about 40% of his skull and brains are blown out by a point blank shot!. That is the same reason the girl does not see his remains when she climbs the roof!.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!.!.!.
I really hope that helps you some!. It certainly is a twisting, turning and circling-around film! I was impressed with it!. But, if you visit the IMDB forum about the film, you'll see that the majority of viewers despise it! Maybe if I'd seen the uncut version, I might agree more!. But, this one is plenty gory, so I wonder how much could have been cut from it actually!.

To me, it matched the feeling I got from watching "Phantasm", "Dead End", "Salvage" and other films that have that nightmarish quality!. I especially thought of "Salvage" when Nicole was remembering that scene in which she and her boyfriend were in the meadow!. I think he or she says something about being happy to live the day over if only for those good moments!. So, that's her fate, but will it be his!?

Yes, it leaves a lot of questions unanswered, but I didn't feel cheated!. I was intrigued by it and want to see it again!

They also complained about Nicole's incompetence!. What's wrong with that!?! Practically every horror film has a brave, clever heroine!. Nicole is a mess! It is suggested that she comes from a pampered homelife; she fusses about them not having the expected place to live!. also, she needs a bathroom break but insists on the "real thing"; actually, the bushes would have been safer and cleaner, but we wouldn't have a story~unless The Driver would have caught up with them somewhere else!.

"Rest Stop: Don't Look Back" (2008) is in post-production!. Here is the cast listing, with some familiar names:
Brionne Davis !.!.!. The Driver
Diane Salinger !.!.!. The Mother
Michael Childers !.!.!. The Father
