New guy just saying "Hello".

Well they always say "Sex Sells", so I'm sure you'll do OK on Lot Lizard toons.

 

Your cast of regular characters should include the following: The villans (DOT and HWP), Overweight Trucker (ala Fat Albert), Throwback Trucker (think old westerns), Billy Big Rig Trucker (Brash snot nose type), Seasoned Outlaw Trucker (Constantly reminding us of how it USED to be), the tease Truckstop Waitress (ala Flo from Mel's Diner), Turbine wearing foreigner with really bad English, very serious Mexican Bad #####, Money Grubbing Truckstop Manager, Middle Aged tough as nails/yet sweet as honey/ with terrific advice to offer Trucking Granny, Panhandlers/Hitchhikers, the Gotta a Gazillion Questions Newby, Pam Anderson/Julia Roberts look-alike Lot Lizards, and of course an Ordinary Joe (ala Andy from WKRP). Might even wanna throw in a Brother with the Loud Music (possibly the cook). And somebody in the cast will probably be light in the loafers.

 

The Coffee better be the Best (most days), and the food not so much. The Truckstop has to be the Centerpiece/meeting place Mornings and Evenings. The outragous price of Diesel commonly tied into the Money Grubbing Truckstop Owner. He could be your Turbine wearing bad English speaking Foreigner.

 

Hello to you.

 

Welcome to the party!

 

Have you heard about the breath mints for the shy introverted truck driver? Different ones for making his breath smell like stale cigarette smoke, stale whiskey, beer,etc. Then there's the air freshner that makes his clothes and inside of truck smell like cheap women(lot lizards). Now all the playboy truckers want him to hang out with him, 'cause he knows where the action is.
