    Never felt threatened running food service in NYC and Baltimore at night. All in the hood. Mind your own business youll be fine.

    You’d be wise to stay out of Beirut on the Bay now.

    My grandfather used to tell us a broke man sleeps great, because he isn’t afraid of anyone trying to take what is his.
    Leave your $100s in the truck, or park somewhere else.

    Ok. How many incidents of truck stop violence are out there? Just wondering since I’ve read about a few.

    There is few here and there. But in % speaking you have same chances to get into some crap situation , anywhere not just truck stops. Hell I would say you will have more chances to see something brutal at shipper /receiver guard house , over (no overnight parking/ no restroom/ arrive 15 minutes before schedule, and not 30..etc.)
