    I think one of the worst truck stops is the Ontario ta only one of them seemed bad. Ll would knock day and night. I swear they work 24 hours a day in shifts.

    Had a L.L. in the day time catch my eye while I was sitting in the Jump seat tapping on my computer, I was one of the only few trucks there in the middle of the day, and she started walking towards my rig, so I reached over, locked my door and quickly pulled the curtain, She must of got the message, because I never got the knock.

    In the truck it's not so bad. I made two signs (one for each side window) They say : NO HOOKERS NO REQUESTS FOR MONEY WILL TAKE PHOTOS AND CALL COPS

    That helped a lot. However......if you get out of the truck........*sighs* According to my husband I'm a hooker magnet. Both the female & male hookers evidently think I'm just a big ol' party girl. I even had a male midget hooker proposition me.

    In the 2 years or so I was otr I never had a person knock on my door, but had only 2 situations with beggars begging for money. Only one time at the pilot in Dallas a dude came up an asked me if I had some spare change, he looked harmless and looked hungry so I gave him about 3 bucks in spare change I had he was so grateful. But if you want to avoid being in a situation where the lot lizards an panhandlers are stay away from any truck stop in a major city. One thing when I parked I always closed the curtains and never had any problems.
