    Maybe there is, maybe not.

    Why would you want to know?

    I remember in the mid to late 80's driving through OKC and Amarillo, there was this guy called either the Iceman or Snowman, he would get on the CB and sell coke. He eventually got caught, no big surprise, being he sold over the CB. Back then, I would say drugs were just as prevalent as lot lizards. It seemed you could get anything you wanted. People were always coming up on the CB trying to sell stuff. With all the drug testing we have now, I doubt drugs are as prevalent and as easy to get as they once were at the truck stops. I'm sure they are still there and are still used by a segment of the industry.

    Funny thing happened on the way to one of our favorite T/S's. . . ., I read the review. What, it's a rathole? Looks 100 yrs old? Craters in the parking lot? Filthy? Good stay away you you neat freak.

    Ok yeah they could fill in the potholes, i sure wouldn't wanna hit one on a rainy day in a mini cooper. I never saw a rat, , . . . field mice don't count and it was outside. Being built in the 50's does NOT make it 100, yet. A weee bit of dust in the rafters and yellowed tile does NOT make it filthy.

    Dangerous? Haa, you ever been to wally world on black friday? I'll pit that soccor mom that wants the dodad for her kiddies agains that dude that wants to steal your tires in Atlanta.:biggrin_25524:

    Just jokeing

    YES ! But like everything else, like where to eat, park, shower, buy fuel, ect ect. As time goes on, new drivers will pick up on what is happening. Hopefully new, and some old drivers do not let themselves get caught up in that type of stupidity.

    Pretty good bet he had an imminent drug test coming up that morning. If you KNOW yours is bad ........ then you've got nothing to lose by using someone else's !
