    It'll be interesting when the mandatory EOBR and the possible use of DPDR's (Driver's Personal Data Recorder.....Worn like a wristwatch) become the norm....Possibly a side benefit of "Big Brother" watching you....

    Notice how the story is skewed to indict "truck drivers" in general ... with little mention of how many crimes or attempted crimes are resolved with the assistance of truckers every day ...

    I do see some weird stuff in those garbage cans around the perimeter of the lots, but I never felt uncomfortable in Barstow at any of the three places. L.A. TA on I-10, Flying J Bakersfield and that whole area around Bruce's is another story.:biggrin_25524:

    I guess it's all in the persons perspective. I don't feel uncomfortable at any truck stop. In fact, I'm at the TA east in Ontario, CA (off I-10 outside of LA) right now. It's just like any other place to me. But then I've also been out here running down the highway's long enough to know the truth.... Stories such as I linked really aren't true when they point towards truck driver's.

    There's scum in every group. For those offended by someone pointing the finger at a long-haul trucker.... would you be comfortable allowing your wife or daughter to walk the length of a truckstop parking lot, unaccompanied, to use the rest rooms at night? If not, why?
     
    Ranger_309 Thanks this.

    I don't have a wife. But I'd allow my ex-wife to walk the lot!!

    My daughter is too young!

    No kidding. A driver called in the DC snipers at a rest stop. We don't get no credit, just the back of the hand.

    Now we are all possible serial killers. Right. Thanks news media.
