Truckers always pick up hitch hikers in the movies, do you?

I give hitchhikers rides often, in my personal vehicle. I don't have a passenger seat in my CMV, so NO!

 

Please be on the lookout for this woman. Last seen at the Lake Charles, LA truck stop

 

Or George Carlin in Bill And Ted's Excellent Adventure?!!!!!!

 

I hitched all over the country in the 70's. From cali to north carolina and then back. Used to hitch hike to yosemite as well. Picked up a female hitch hiker in my 18 wheeler in 07' and dropped her off at her moms house in the desert. I have stopped my truck to help dozens of people over the years.

 

As a rule, I never give rides. Only exception to the rule is if I happen to see them break down (peace of mind knowing its likely a safe situation). I have stopped to help a stranded single mom and her kids change a flat tire once. Really made their day as there was no cell service for miles.

 

Every time I go to Mexico there are a ton of people down there that always want a ride across the border. I don't speak Spanish, so I'm not sure what that's all about, but they always seem VERY thankful when I drop them off.

 

No.

 

Not unless they stick to the front bumper...The above picture is really not too likely to happen...
