Truck stop safety?

The back row thing- it has changed alot through the years, due to the new breed of lazy truckdrivers.Most drivers dont want to walk too far to the buffet, so they park as close to the building as possible.So when you get lot lizzards in a truckstop,They want to contact as many customers as possible, with as little as possible walking,reducing the chance of being caught.With this in mind, I have observed most lot lizzards work the heaviest populated area of a truckstop parking lot, being close to the building.I have always parked in the back row, and very rarely have been bothered, and slept alot better because I knew most of the rookies were up front tearing hoods off up there.And I would get excercise that I so desperately need by walking from the farthest corner away from the building.



True... The laziness of Americans never ceases to amaze me. I guess I haven't been out here long enough to see to much yet.

The upside to parking closer is that you have less distance in which some thug can jump you between the truck and the building.

That is true, but for some reason unknown,I have not had any trouble since 89.

Come to think of it, it may be the trail of farts that I may leave on the way to the building from the truck...

Back in my Big Truck days I would bring one of my wifes bras with me and throw it on the dash, Never had to knocks on my doors after that.

If your in a van, stay up front in plain view of the gas pumps and the front of the store.

Personally, as you are a lady I wouldn't suggest that you leave your bra on the dash.

People can see into van easier because it sits much lower than a big truck and when people are aware that you are a lady, throwing your bra on the dash might send the wrong signal.

That is Hilarious...lol But sounds like it would work LOL :rolleyes:

After I started doing that the late night knocking stopped, guess they thought I had one in there or they wern't gonna do the same sex thing. In my van I always parked in view of the gas pumps and the front door. never had any knocks either, but I sure saw stuff down the row from me.
