    I just got woke up again by someone banging on the cab. This has happened six times in four months running north east regional. Of coarse the first thing I think is it's either the police/emergency or someone needs me to move but it never is. Its always women asking for "gas money", young German tourest franticly asking for directions to Old Orchard Beach at a rest stop, or lizards. This is really frustrating especially since its hard for me to get back to sleep. I mean what the hell you know I'm sleeping when the lights are off in the middle of the night! You don't go banging on people houses in the middle of the night do you. Does this happened to anyone else this often? Or have similar stories?

    I've had it happen twice both time Ohio Highway Patrol making sure I'm alive lol. Have a sleeping bag protects to -10. Never turned heater on and ice on windshield in rest areas. Rest time has been shippers/receivers giving directions or finished etc.

    Haha I guess for a guy he was! Kept pulling at his non existent hair and freaking out. Couldn't understand a word he said.

    I run meat patch to the northeast. Last time I can remember someone knocking in the middle of the night was maybe 4 months ago and in Amarillo at the Loves. Just doesn't happen much anymore in my trucking world. Maybe you're stopping at the wrong places.

    Get yourself a "Do Not Disturb" sign and place it in the window.

    Just ignore it. They will tire and go away eventually.

    Wal-Mart drivers used to have those where they were visible on the driver's side window during their break. Lot lizards tend to not bug you when they see the stickers.
