    How did you miss this recent news article about human trafficing?

    How Florida police snared nearly 300 — including Robert Kraft — at spas used for sex trafficking

    I agree with the first part of the post about the media being exaggerating the truth but every single person out here chose to get our license and be a trucker if you dont want to be a trucker anymore the turn ur keys in and find another line of work, this job to me is the closest to freedom u can get as a working man

    I agree with the above, a decent bar or parking would be nice in the lounge area.

    Is it really a good idea for you OTR drivers to be drinking?

    Yes they’ve been doing it since trucks were invented. But I’m not OTR. Those poor guys need a good bar worse than me.

    There were lots of places around the US where I was within walking distance from a nice place to eat. Many times I would go sit down and order a slice of cow and a baked tater enjoy a salad and chase it with a beer or two. It's fine to drink, just be responsible doing so.

    A bunch of truck drivers and a bunch of booze = very bad mix. 5% will always be running off the other 95% with all their nonstop drunken BS. From what I’ve seen many truck drivers can’t handle their booze and become very ugly and run their mouth nonstop because they developed cabin fever and don’t know how to act in public when inebriated

    The human trafficking these days is importing girls/women who live in massage parlors and dance in strip clubs. Massage parlors are using imported Asian women/girls. I don't know about strip clubs. I rarely see "lot lizards" in truck stops anymore. I suspect the anti-trafficking groups like to emphasize the kidnapped teenage American girls because those are the victims most likely to seem sympathetic to do-gooders.
