Aggressive Sales Pitch/Scam in the Fuel Aisle

Never let someone get you outside away from others....this guy may have been sizing you up for a robbery.....hate to say this, but you have to keep your guard up these days.

 

He was probably an identity thief. Just say "I'm not interested" next time. If he's still bugging you tell him flat out to leave you alone. I have no problem hurting a peddler's feelings.

 

I get this a lot too,just a look from a Cajun woman tends to make them understand ...."it ain't that kinda party" LOL I never really have to say much,or get into any conversation.. Tony is right,NEVER EVER let someone make you feel that way,you're out there working hard and there ARE boundaries!!!

 

And if he still won't go point the fuel nozzle at him.......he'll go real quick if he knows what's good for him.

 

I've heard jbhunt does that.Only they'll come knock on your door with a flyer and card.

 

some will get your truck# and name, then later call UR co. say a they are a tire boy and you have blow out need com. ck. to go fix it, they find info. and use it.

 

Sounds like a good company to work for! We have the same policy on breakdowns lol

 

Judging from your username and avatar, you're an experienced female OTR driver. Driver recruiters are paid a commission for each driver that signs on, which is why he asked your name. If you submit an application with the company, that's when he gets paid, then if you're hired, he gets an extra commission. However, there's an added bonus for experienced female drivers. The problem with sending out a male driver trainer and female driver trainee, there's the temptation of driver trainer making advances on female trainees, which opens sexual harassment lawsuits on the carrier. You eliminate this when you match female driver trainers with female trainees.
On another topic, I'm not surprised when you sensed something wasn't right. That's your "woman's intuition" warning you of deceit and/or possible impending danger. Pass studies have shown womens' intuition for deceit is stronger than men, but this same intuition also warns you when a guy has ulterior motives. This danger alarm mechanism is impeded when you ingest drugs or alcohol, which is why guys are quick to buy you all the drink you want at a bar. They want to disable your woman's intuition danger mechanism.
Back in the 70s and early 80s, when trucking was male dominated, when a female driver pulls into a truck stop, male-chauvinist drivers would release the king pin when she's away from her truck. I had not heard that over the CB radio for years, so I presumed attitude has changed and more male OTR drivers are supportive of female drivers now (I hope).
