I give credit to you guys that have to deal with truck stops on a regular basis. I stopped in Kearney, Mo a few days ago. The cashier was high on i assume meth. Bouncing off the walls, trying to stock cigarettes while checking people out. Then i walk outside get in the truck and the guy a couple spots down. Grabs his dog as has him s####### right in the fuel island. I guess he figured he pulled up so the guy behind him could fuel so he could do whatever.

It was a bitter cold January in Kansas when I just had to hit the can. I rolled out of the sack, put on my snowmobile suit, and started a long walk to the truck stop. The place was made out of three large Quonset Huts welding together. Maybe some of you remember the place. It was a long walk, and a darn cold one. I get inside and follow the signs that said MENS. I get inside, look around and it's freshly painted all white. Nice place for its kind. I take a stall, start to unzip and sit, then I close the stall door and latch it. As I sit...... there scribbled on the inside of this freshly painted door, with a black magic marker is....
KILL WHITEY.
Up came the zipper, quick step to the entrance.... quicker steps to my rig, yanked
the door open, hit the starter, hit the air...... gone.Val_Caldera Thanks this. -
so you let some graffiti run you out of the bathroom ?
Sirscrapntruckalot, nikmirbre, Aamcotrans and 5 others Thank this. -
WHAT IF.....the writing on the stall door was addressed to some dude named WHITEY??
Whitey Bulgar ring a bell?
Other Folks Named Whitey.
I understand your imminent need to eliminate yourself from the premises yet your excess need to flee could have been interrupted in your hasty exit by bombing your shorts as that seems to be the reason for the "Looks Like Nice Place" observation.
Now IF The Writing Had "KILL THE NEXT WHITEY THAT VISITS THIS STALL", uh....yeah...time to squirrel my torso outta heah, and remembering that I Passed a Coupla Folks "On The Way To (the Unknown) Death's Door".
What name of Place, Location, For Any That May Stumble Into Said Stall or Any News Of Former Living Beings Having Been Mistaken For WHITEY??
These and Other Questions Are Vaguely Important To This Scripter But May Well Be Important To Other Beings!
CHILLS & BELLS!!Last edited: Jan 15, 2022

At the end of April in 92, I got caught in the Rodney King riots. It was ugly. A few drivers got their faces pushed in and one got yanked out of his truck and a brick in his head - that one was on TV. My experience was in 80, I can tell you that when you see something like I saw, you don't sit around and think - you get your lily white tailfeathers out. PERIOD. Make fun all you want, but there's a lot of mean racial stuff out there. I've been in this business since 68, and I can't believe the outright language on the CB. the hate, the anger, the downright fuse just waiting for a spark. Look around at the counters of the truck stops and all you hear is crap talk. The tinmen down south just lay in wait for blacks, Russians, Asians, Latinos, Sikh Turban Patka's and anybody who is not white. If I've heard a black driver called "boy" once, I've heard it a million times. In Lancaster, S.C., I was next in line for a DOT check point when I saw a black driver, standing next to his cab, the DOT clown tosses this driver's logbook back, on the ground for the driver to pick up.
So, say what you want, but I haven't survived two tours in-country and lived this long, by joking to myself about crap like this. -
The investigation is still ongoing!nikmirbre and Flat Earth Trucker Thank this. -
