Lot Lizzard Solution!!!
 

How do you guys keep the lot lizzards from beating your door down when you are trying to get a good night sleep? I can't find a solution.. :oops:

The only solution I can offer is just ignore them. I know it's a pain in the ass to wake up to banging on your door but unless they identify themselves as law enforcement, or it's obviously another driver trying to tell you something about your truck (and you know the difference between a driver trying to get your attention and a lot lizard), keep the curtain closed and go back to sleep. The best way to keep them hanging around or coming back and knocking again is to wake up and engage them at all.

You can ignore them or get up and tell them to go away that you are not interested. Some are persistent. I have never had much of a problem with them. I try to stay away from places where they frequent. Most of the time you will hear drivers soliciting them or vice versa. They get some guy to allow them to solicit on his radio. If you let them know that you are not interested most of them don't bother you. :D

Awhile ago I saw a truck that had some stickers on the window that said "No lot lizards" with a circle and line through it... It was a woman driving it at the time...

Back when I was on the road, I always parked on the front row, ALWAYS. If I had to park behind, I worked my way to the front when spots became available. Never got bothered, even when they roamed freely. I had men drivers tell me they put a bra hanging from the sun visor, but nowadays that might not work since I've heard they go 'both ways'. I'm home every night so don't have to worry about it anymore. :)

What kinds of places are you guys going to? Ive been driving for 8 months and have never had anyone knock on my door or even seen a prostitute.

Well since my German Shepard rides with me that's my solution :lol:

Re: Lot Lizzard Solution!!!
 

throw a roll of pennies out into the parking lot, they spend the rest of the night trying to collect them all and you get a peaceful nights rest. in the morning all the other drivers thank you as well as they roll off to their destinations. :D

kidding... i never have the problem as the original poster asked. just couldnt resist :oops:

If you are having a major problem with lot lizards knocking on your door you might want to stay away those truck stops. There are some which seem to have a major infestation. I just stay away from them. I remember stopping at a mom and pop truck stop in New Jersey. I believe it was off I-295. It had a diner and hotel. There was some interesting conversation between truckers and lot lizards. I noticed that this one woman, or at least I think it was the same one, kept walking back and forth from the hotel to different trucks. Sometimes I saw men walking with her. I was never bothered, but it seemed obvious what was happening. The closest I came was when the woman walked over and checked my truck out. She had been on the CB talking to another driver. That was when I still had my Peterbilt. He had one, too, but was in a different location. She never knocked on the door. I believe it was one of her regulars. I think the people at the truck stop were involved. It was wide open. :P

Stay away from the TA on the south end of the 285 loop in atlanta.

The one in Montgomery, AL is a bad one, too.

West Memphis Ark is a good area for lizzards also. Ridgerunner are you taking notes on this??? :P

Notes? Hell, I'm printing the whole thread. :lol:

why would you post this in the woman's section were not knocking on your door. Sorry cant help you there

Keep on driving for a bit longer and they will.

It was moved by the moderators,,,,I guess. :roll:

Probably moved here since alot of the men check this area. Hey you got your answers that's all the matters, right? :wink:

I don't believe it has ever been moved.

Doesn't really matter Ridge found it and printed the thread that is all that matters. :wink:

TA in Ontario, Ca is a dive too. I have never had any problem with knocking at my door. A few have walked up to me, but never pushy.

Lot lizards
 

This might be my imagination or just dumb luck but it seems if i close the curtains around the windshield instead of the one seperating the bunk from the front this seems to help, or some drivers seem to have good luck putting a coat shirt over the back of each seat to give the illusion of a team truck.

I am a male driver but I do not appreciate the interruptions either.

Got a thought for you... Just a thought, mind you. I don't need any flack for it.

I've been across Nevada quite a number of times. I can turn off the radio and don't hear the ads from "sugar shack" or the others. And no one interrupts my sleep either.

Should we push for legalizing it, and then they would not bother us?????

then i would have no paycheck

Are any of them cute? If so, post their location. :lol:

lol
 

up in n.y. you get alot of lot lizzies, i just poleitly ask them to go away, everyonce and awhile they caome back, but other wise they go away

wow your guys are all lot lizard magnets, I personally have only seen 2 and they were working together in Florida... really sad to see street whores begging for crack money, they looked really bad, pants had wet spots where they sit and the hair needed to be combed.... but I was told they know who the guys are to knock on because they get on the radio and you ask for it and some go by how much gold you wear and strut around, they know your single and have money because you strut your gold...

I figured out if they bother me, I am married so yeah I have no money to strut but I am going to ask them how much do I get paid to bother me, this should get them to not want to bother me, I charge $200 an hour is what I will tell them....cheap little crack ho's will know to stay away.... they only get 5 to 20 dollars a pop or bang so I think in reality they can spot the single lonely desperate guy who will go as low as it takes to get some, they know who to go to.... chances are 99% of the time if your normal and are maried and look like a mature man they will stay away.

but if your looking for someone to **** then by all means get some of that nasty crack ho crack and be sure to not tell me... people who go that low need to be low themselves and I know I am higher than that by all means... I have pride and self esteem and it shows so the crack ho's know I won't even give them the time of day much less hold the door for them... just ignore them and they will not bother you... but if you stare at them watch out they think you want them really bad and their like flies and will buzz you till your sick of it....

Hell, $5 for a BJ is great! Where are these ho's?

I've seen several of them around the TS ... one evening as I was parked with my finance' ... he was sitting in the front seat and I was in the sleeper ... one jumped on the side of the truck ... I came through that sleeper with a look on my face and she jumped off real quick ... and started apologizing and walking backwards ... Someone needs to pack all them up and take them to Nevada to work ...

hehehehehehehe ohhh Roses, nevada has clean girls, need to bathe all of them crack ho's and send them to reform school so they can learn a job skill... nevada has rules on there girls, you can't be dirty or sleep with dirty truckers, they make you take a shower before they touch you in nevada..

Per request, I am moving this thread to the Anything and Everything forum. The requester is right...there really is no point in having this thread in the Women's forum. Just keep it clean, though, in it's new location. Thanks.

I like the mods here.

Had one awhile back knock on my door....She asked..."company"... I waited a few seconds and said..." Well, OK, but I'll have to charge you 20 bucks"...she went away pissed! I thought it was a good offer. No one bothered me the rest of the night!

Get a receipt from 'em! LOL.

You go to the door, and open it REAL fast.. hitting them in the face with the door... they usualy dont have any teeth, so no worries there... problem solved, go back to sleep.

I used to carry a custom made sign with magnetic back. When I parked, no matter where I was at the time, I'd slap it on my door, and go to sleep. The sign simply read.

"If this truck is parked, it means the driver needed rest above all other things. If you BEAT on this door, the driver will come out, and BEAT your head in. If it is an absolute emergency that needs this driver's attention, call the local authorities. Hence, do not attempt to wake up driver without thinking your options threw."

Any sign shop can whip up anything you want for under 20 bucks, most are in close proximity to truck stops as well. Oh, and in three years of carrying that sign with me, I was woken up one time, it was a New Jersey state patrolmen. He woke me up to tell me I offended another driver by simply having the sign and it's meaning on it. I then said thanks for your concern, and went back to sleep.

Outlaw, that is funny, but a really good idea. Especially since you haven't been bothered for 3 years except for that once with the sign.

Skills

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Don't discuss money with them even in a joking fashion. You might be on an episode of Cops, as a new star! :lol: :lol: :lol:

oh ontario, ca I almost couldnt resist there were some pretty girls there but think about it not all lizards and truckers have good persoanl hygiene.....

I've been driving over eight years and can almost say the same. The only place I've run into hookers is at one regular stop, where I lay over in the parking lot. I've had them bother me twice in about six years of running this route dedicated.

The customer at this stop is unpredictable, and sometimes the guy has a fight with his wife and wakes me up really early. Cool with me. Let's get rolling. So one morning I hear knock knock knock at about 7:00 (stop normally unloads at 10) and think "Oh great, Earl had a fight with Melissa again, and this time I really could use some more shut-eye." So I poke my head out, and "Earl" is this bucked toothed woman hanging off the side of my truck.

"I thought you might like a wakeup call." "What?" I rub my eyes. "A wakeup call." "Uh." "I'm trying to hustle some money." "Oh. I don't have any money."

That ended it. I went back to sleep, and it wasn't until I woke back up three hours later that I realized I had just spied my first bonafide prostitute in the flesh. Getting laid never even crossed my mind at that hour. My boss and I joked about this for a long time, about how you know you're getting old when you'd rather sleep than get laid. Not that I was looking anyway, mind you. I could probably be coaxed into cheating on my wife by the right gorgeous lady, but fortunately for her, the gorgeous ladies aren't exactly into hands who could make the cut for the 7-Up Truck Driver Calendar in the first place. :D

There was another one at the same place, months or years later, but that story is not as interesting.
