Door knockers at Truck Stops

Best way is to let them in and tell her you’ll pay her to just sit there and be quiet and you’ll only pay if she makes no noise. Challenge accepted.

 

The XTE 36 Galaxy 499 obliterates those who would needlessly disturb a trucker's sleep. Batteries not included.

 

A lot of this must depend on where you park???

in the past 15 years I’ve had maybe 4 people knock on my door

 

Just ignore them or politely decline. I’ve never had anyone mess with my truck. If you want to have some fun, offer them a can of food or a job application and they will turn away in bewilderment.

 

I was OTR for three years in the very beginning of my career. I had maybe a couple door knockers. I just acted like I didn't hear anything (or wasn't in the truck), and checked my truck in the morning.

After I went LTL I've only been approached on lunch breaks and the like. I carry an emergency $40 with me, but I always seem to forget that when they ask. Bad memory.

 

The dog going berserk usually works, they leave, the ones that stop me going to the shower or restaurant, I usually reach in my pocket and grab a loonie, says I'm Canadian dont carry US cash just cards, but you can have this loonie.... they just walk away. Lol.

 

I haven’t had any issues but I’m selective of where I park. Even in Phoenix the Flying J across from Danny’s isn’t bad since they’ve hired security. They do pretty well at keeping the lot clean of panhandlers. Of course the 55 pounds of not much fun that looks at people when they walk by the truck might keep them from approaching mine, too.

 

What's a door knocker?
