Only parking at truck stops and Walmarts?

restareas

 

Unfortunately some associate (maintenance, or management) does have to clean up litter, etc left by undesirable scumbags. I've seen an entire shopping cart full of presents left by an OTR driver. Very sad that someone would do this for numerous reasons. First someone has to clean it up, secondly most stores are open 24 hours with facilities. Also don't forget cameras are recording, video has been reviewed and used as evidence to prove said bad behavior.

 

I boycott Wal-Marx because of their politics and the fact they put so many small stores out of business. I shop at the small chains and gladly pay the thirty or even forty percent price difference. My peace of mind is worth more than saving a few bucks.

 

I can't say I have experience with an 18 wheeler in doing this. I'm soon to go OTR.
I do have experience living in the back of a pickup truck for 6 years in So. Cal.
yup... the cops rousted me occasionally. They usually just wanted to take care of the situation. Make sure of no threat of crime from any low life. But that is big city cops. I can't speak for some of these idiots around here. They are looking for trouble. Small town cops.
I imagine, for the most part. Depending on where you park. Shouldn't have any problem with cops. The truck rather identifies what you're doing. They ain't worried about crime. They know you have to stop. Whether you like it or not.

For a little humor: One night a cop rousted me in my pickup. Told me if he lived the way I did. He'd have a shotgun back there. He didn't want to find a shotgun. So he didn't look.
Another one.... Cops rousted me in my pickup. Asked a few questions. Then asked: Gee...you got a good job. What are you doing living like this? ... I said: I wanna buy a house in Huntington Beach! Cop said: Oh! That explains it! Go back to sleep! You need the rest!

 

Its quite simple really you just don't pull up at a truck stop unless you need to fuel up, normally if you get to alot of them after say 17:00 they'll be full up so i get why they just keep on driving where as a Walmart who stops there ? A. all the clever drivers cause there's always space in the mega car parks if you park right down the back of the car park and stay out of the way Walmart staff won't bother you especially if you go in and buy something plus they have bathrooms and are open 24/7 so its a win win.

 

Not necessarily.

Sexual crimes and presumptions occur pretty regularly in some.

 

And that's just what happens to the men.

 

I know that can happen anywhere.I was just giving op a suggestion where to park because that's what he asked.

 

You learn which ones to avoid. There are some apps that rate them. Some states have 24 hour security.

FYI, if you see a lot of brakelights come on as your pulling into a rest area or parking area,keep on driving.
