Trucker found fatally shot in rig

This truly sucks.
We just lost one of our own.

Be careful out there folks,it's really getting dangerous.

I can't say what happened in this case but try to keep some situational awareness in the back of your mind. Espescially when you're parked alone.

RIP to that driver who died taking care of his family. There is no greater honor.

Now I hope they catch whoever did this and hang them from a tall tree.

 

Oh sorry. I stand corrected.

 

oh man!such a shame!!, my thoughts are with his family!...
last year sometime, one of our drivers was walking into a rest area and held the door open for another driver, the other driver returned the favor when they reached the bathroom, and once inside the guy stabbed our driver a whole lot of times... he survived, but was in bad shape, during the day and others seen this happen including his wife... parking alone, or parking with others never let your guard down

 

Gee. It was a good thing he wasn't armed. Someone coulda gotten hurt!

(yeah, I'm seething and rolling my eyes at the same time, though if he was shot in the back, there's a pretty fair chance even being strapped wouldn't have helped)

If the perp is caught and is honestly found guilty, he oughta be turned loose in a closed area with the guy's family, as well as a few other drivers. The event could
be televised, with the proceeds going to the victim's family.

Sure, it'd likely do better as an idea for a novel rather than real life, but it's almost enjoyable to think about it... when it comes to scumbags like this.

 

Drivers you need to know the areas where you plan to park......

"Mo Valley" as it is known around here is akin to South Central or Compton........

That town is full of Meth Labs and the gang-bangers who left the streets of L.A. for the suburbs of the I.E.


I would suggest that we have a sticky tread about the safe and not so safe places to park...........

 

You know I really don't think it's about race. Murders go on everyday and its not just blacks or minorities. All races commit crimes daily, there are just as many caucasians commiting crimes as there are minorities.

Someone lost a love one and the only thing you can do is point fingers and call names. I feel sorry for you; the ignorant one using the N word. Hide behind your keyboard talking your ####, one day it will catch up with you.

Yes I too despise ignorant low life people that live to cause harm on a working man. Go get a job, its easy if they would just apply themselves. Whoever it was I hope they fry his #####, taking this mans life. I will be praying for his family.

 

Goodmorning, wow that's is sad too hear , in time of morning, lest not say things of bad word's but kindness too his family, help the family get over the lost of a loved one , if he had one, most single male truckdriver's such as me have no family, well i have my brother's and sister's, but ive pretty much been the black sheep of the family and trucking suites me , cause i'm a loner anyway, i would like too see a thread started as how too proctect yourself in cab at night, since federal laws ,says we cant carry a gun or anything, and its everywere, not just the trucks, you could be at the dock's too and get mugged, you just never know, people are hurting now, looking for money anyway they can get it, no matter if they kill for it,i rember when i started back in 1990 i started with crst and in a cab over and would do new york , well being wet behind the ears i didnt know any better, but during the time frame of 6 months of doing new york, crst lost 15 drivers going too new york city , getting killed, i musta done something right, like when they jump on the cat walk going thru town, i just kept on going never stop , one poor soul made clear outa town before he fell off, o-well better him then me, Everett,
