Are there no legally-mandated 'rest stops' for truckers in the US?

In Europe there are (quite strictly enforced) regulations in place to ensure truckers/HGV-drivers take a 30min break every few hours.

Yes. They are limited in hours per day, hours per week, breaks, mandatory layovers, etc. Most companies have automated logs to ensure these are enforced too.

They still pee in bottles though. Check the sides of the motorways for coke bottles full of a yellow liquid.
