I asked my ride to leave me here on my way from Milan to Brescia since I didn't want to enter Bergamo. I was surprised to see that many cars were passing through this gas station even on a Sunday night.
Eventually got picked up all the way to Brescia relatively quickly.

P.S. On this Autogrill I came upon a couple of foreign backpackers that were headed to Venezia. They were standing with a sign on the entrance to the gas station, which didn't bring them much success since I found actually asking the drivers in simple Italian way more profitable.

So this is the spot â„–1 from the "how to get out of Milan" guide. At least that's how I got here. The instructions were mostly clear and intuitive, though some things have already changed since the article was written. As such, for some reason the metro train wasn't going all the way to Cologno Nord station. Rather it stops at Cascina Gobba and from there you have to take a bus to the desired metro station. The ride was about 20 min long and I didn't even pay for it.
When I got to Cologno Nord I followed the instructions and walked for about half a mile in the northeast direction until I saw the big electricity pole. To get to it, I had to jump over a 2 meter wide trench (it's more convinient if you cross it at the car gate to your right). Then I had to make a jump over a yet another trench, this time just below the electricity pole. Though I found the doors to be closed with padlocks so I had to jump over the fence from where you can just casually walk downhill to the gas station.

Advice: watch out for the stingy bushes, wouldn't recommend going this way if you're wearing just shorts and a t-shirt (you're likely to scratch yourself badly due to the dense vegetation that stands in your way).

After I got to the station I got picked up pretty quickly. The driver gave me a lift all the way to Bergamo from where I went with another car to my destined city of Brescia.

Have space that cars can easily stop. But there was no shade, I was having hard time under sun. Wanted to go to Bergamo but ended up riding to Brescia. Learned that most of the people riding Brescia instead of Bergamo.

It's very easy to reach! when you turn right at the bridge continue to walk you ll find an open door (07-2014)! but keep in mind there's a new highway that connects Milan to Brescia directly without passing to Bergamo! it's faster but this spot should still working good!

Getting a ride from here towards Brescia/Bergamo worked out well. Don't let yourself get scared off by the big sign which says "No Autostopp". I was standing next to it, four police cars passed me and no one cared about it :) Sign is necessary since people can take both directions! I was waiting for about 30 mins I guess until someone took me to a gas station on the highway.

Exit of Bergamo Airport. I asked people for 30 minutes waiting around inside and outside the airport for a lift to Verona, Italy or to Germany. I got a 2 hour ride to Verona from a man who was renting a car from the airport to drive there.
