“I locked my keys in my truck “

Never stay at ANY truck stop around big cities.
I never had bad experience with parking somewhere 50+ miles from major cities.
But can count numerous weirdos I met as soon as I was hitting city gas station with population over 100k

 

I’ve locked myself out a few times but I always keep a spare key in the headache rack. Having a key hidden is priceless at a moment of weakness.

 

Couple of weeks back at Memphis, I got woken up by a guy who needed $65 to get home, he also wanted to be a truck driver and had a license issue and needed to get back home and get his license under control, so he can support his kids.


I gave him about $0.79 from my coin jar and he was looking at me funny like I owed him money. He had that “man you need to pay because you screwed my wife and now you need to give me money” look.

 

My reply would be ... Sorry for you bad luck MFer.. maybe my friends Smith & Wesson can help ..their good with locks

 

Q: Did you hear about the Polish team driver that locked his keys in his rig?

A: He had to use a coat hanger to get his co-driver out!

 

Ive never liked that Pilot. There is always something going on there. They do have a big guy in there from Mecklenburg County Sheriffs office but, all he does is flirt with the workers at Pilot and Subway. I dont even like stopping by there in my car. While im all for helping people in need, I just cant decipher them guys there at Pilot.

 

I don't give them money. No matter what storyline they come up with. About 20 years ago in OKC a girl came down the row of trucks telling her sob story. Claimed her boyfriend had abandoned her and needed gas money to get home. I gave her $10 . A few days later I came back through and there she was telling that same story. That was the first and last time any one got a penny from me.

 

I don’t either but this time I was parked at a stop, and didn’t want him messing with my truck when I’m sleeping.

I usually park a few miles before the truck stop to get away from the idiocy.

 

Good point.
