Your first run in with a "creature from the night"

Eeeewwwww!!!!! Lucky me...never had that happen.

I did pull into Iowa 80 one night and have a flatbedder offer his services in a rather crude way...

(For those who must ask: The answer was no, as it still is....)

 

I DID!!!!! And it's pretty obvious I'm a guy, isn't it? That was is in Amarillo a few years ago. I can't remember if it's a Peelot or T/A. That place was oozing with anything you could think of. Sorta like the western version of West Memphis.

 

Can't you just say no thanks....let them move on? Oldest profession....not going nowhere.

 

Most times that works, only once did I run into one that just didn't get it.

 

Maybe they'll all just go to your trucks and stay away from mine

 

My very first run in 96 was with my bother in law at the time he had 2 trucks and authority so I was running his second truck had never even heard of a lizard and we get to West Memphis he says we will stop here. He pulls into the Mc Donalds lot. He is sitting right next to me with a huge smile on his face I cant figure out what has made him so happy because it had been a long day. I soon see them all running from truck to truck including mine. She came up and jumped on the truck starting her sales pitch 10 foot before she even reached the running board. I just sat there with what had to be a stupid look on my face. She must have got the hint that I was in shock and told the others because they left me alone the rest of the time there. Needless to say that was my one and only trip to West Memphis

 

I only saw two lizards in my 2 years otr, one was by oklahoma city at the flying hook, and the other was little rock. Both times I saw them walking my direction so I whipped the curtains closed and they never even bothered me. I always tried to park away from the big cities and not stay in the dirty truckstops, so I never had any problems. Only once did someone ever approach my truck, homely looking guy walked up to my truck and asked if I had 50 cents so he could catch the bus, he looked hungry so gave him like 4 bucks in change. He smiled and said thanks man.

 

Its a campbells plant. #### I hate when we have to go through there, haha

 

With my trainer at T/A East... Man I looked like that one drivers sig cat "..cant be unseen!"

You could SEE the nasty on these gals! My trainer wanted me to "go inside for a while."

I told him to go to hell, and he could drop me off at the Ontairo Airport. I was NOT going to ride in any truck those skanks had been in.

The fun one was at a stop in Indy. She started her speech, and I asked for her medical records. None of them bothered me the rest of the night.

 

Yack!!! If that had happened to me, well, I didn't have enough money to fly myself home, but I'd have been on the phone immediately with the company to GET ME OFF THIS TRUCK!!!

No tellin' where his hands have been if he's willing to play with lizards...and you had to touch the steering wheel after him. Hope you had Clorox wipes with you.
