Oh, their there. I the 8 months I was OTR I think I had maybe 2 approach me while in my truck. As a rule of thumb: the larger ther city the more you will see. All it takes is a polite "no thank you" and they will go away without you having to worry about your truck or trailer.

In 5-6 years of OTR I have only had 3 ever come knocking on my door. Funny thing is that each of the 3 times I was no where near a large city.

Most of the time if you just say No thanks they will scoot on off to the next truck. They generally do not want to cause trouble because if they do it is all the more likely someone will call the cops.

I heard of a lot lizard sting in Fort Wayne,In that ended up with something like 12 lizards being busted over a few days and 8-9 of them had AIDS.

You would be better off bringing a laptop and a can of vaseline :roll: with you while you are on the road. It will save you money and perhaps your life.

Just spray 'em with hornet spray. They'll rob you just as fast as they would "F" you.

Over time you learn which truck stops to avoid. For instance the Pilot in Dallas Texas.or actually any of the truck stops in that area. Alot of times if you park on the back row,that seems to attract them also. They are like the animals in the zoo,you leave them alone,they leave you alone.And by all means don't feed them.

I just say no thanks and they leave me alone. Piss em off and they may send other lizards over just to get under your skin.

I feel they are just out making a living. I just don't want the services.

Spreading STD's to feed their dope habit, is not what I call "making a living"

Truckers themselves should be ashamed for even using their services.
Who's the bigger pig, the whore or the "john"?

Prostitution should be decriminalized and regulated.
