Truck stop safety (FYI)

guy is arguing at the fuel desk and to watch from the back corner.

ok. let me just give you my wallet right now so i don't have to walk over there and get beat up.

 

Glad to see someone Willing to get involved--good for u warning the other driver--2 many unwilling to bark up-- as for scams way too many over the years to even get started--LOL
But honestly best advice is to just wave em off and stay in the truck--chances are if u saw 2 they had 2 more close by & i no everybody is a tough guy but the odds start to get real long when it's 2 or more on one
Just sayin

 

huh, don't keep a can of ether handy at the door with you? Ya know I just can't get the ol' truck to start without it.

 

On topic, beware of the Pilot truck stop in Memphis Tn. I had a spare tire stolen off my truck last month (during day in poring rain). I know a driver who was held at knife point and robbed at this same truck stop. And another driver who bought a "digital camera" only to find out it was actually a brick inside the box.

 

Anyone that stops in the Memphis/West Memphis area (especially @ night) gets what they deserve. It has always been a horrid place and a haven for criminal activity.

 

1000% right on...that whole Memphis region truck stops are nothing but a criminal haven...it's a place I avoid at all possible.

 

Memphis is one of the places left were the pimps are busy advertiseing on the cb the binghamton ta was so bad and run down I was afraid to eat food .

 

you are right.... i parked un the bobtail section about 8 yrs ago there... man have'nt been there since... drove by it alot but anything on us78 between the mississippi line and i-240 is a no stop zone for me... i used to feel sorry for the homeowner next to the pilot.. man

 

Jaguar, I commend you for standing up and warning that other driver and stopping what ever was about to happen. I have heard of drivers sitting in their truck or asleep in their truck, when they feel the trailer start shaking or they hear a noise behind the trailer. They get out to go check on the trailer, and that is when they get robbed. I just want to say "Thank you" for helping out another driver.
