    Are truck stops safe places for young, attractive, in shape women? I consider myself to be rather attractive and I can be very naive also. I'm afraid of getting raped or assaulted at truck stops. Is this a real possibility?

    Perhaps you should consider a different career choice.

    I see your other thread. There is some good advice there. Stay to yourself, pay attention to your surroundings, and keep trucking. You'll be quite alright

    I wander through truckstops all the time. I haven't has as many issues in truckstops as I have had dealing with the rest of the public. As a matter of fact, when I drove my aunt home, a 500 mile trip up there, I had ZERO issues in the truckstops I stopped in, but on the way home on the train, I had all sorts of issues with crummy people.

    I'd have to say a truck stop is safer than most places. The reason being is many drivers sit in the drivers seat after driving all day and watch every little thing that goes on in the parking lot. It would be hard for someone to get away with something. Just avoid taking shortcuts between trucks and walk where you can be seen. Square off the parking lot to avoid walking in the travel lanes. Beyond contrary belief and the news media, truckers are pretty good people and will help a damsel in distress!

    The places you want to avoid are isolated places where there are no witnesses. Trucks have curtains that close the whole inside of the truck from the outside world. Close them when you are parked. Out of sight, out of mind.
    The 15 years I trucked I never heard of anyone getting raped. Maybe a few that wanted to! :biggrin_2559:

    When lot lizards are a dime a dozen why would someone resort to a felony? I'm just sayin'!
