We all know about them. Always coming up to you at a truckstop asking for gas or food or anything else money. I found to be the best way to get them moving on is to say I'm running on 3 credit cards. Any other tips or tricks?

Except for the lizard in syracuse at the pilot who has a card reader she plugs in her iPhone lol she called my bluff

I say " funny you should ask I am broke too I was just fixing to ask you if you had any spare money for me" If they say something like "how do you buy fuel, etc" I say "I have a company card that I can only use for certain things and the company reviews the bill but I don't have any cash and I need some for some beer and smokes."
hunted and scottlav46 Thank this. -
I let my beard do the talking. They don't even approach me, for the most part.
I might give a glare to the ones that are genuinely lazy. The ones with "Need Gas" signs, cellphones, nicer clothing. Nobody should ever drive without money for fuel. lazy.White_Knuckle_Newbie Thanks this. -
I reach in my pocket and give em' some cash so they dont put a whooping on me.
GAlanFink Thanks this.
