Truck Driving Jobs

I guess I'm just driving in all the right areas, because in the 11 1/2 years I've been out on the road, I have yet to encounter any of this garbage.

It does happen once in a while. In a rest area on I94 in Mich I was approached by a woman who asked if I wanted some company. Then just west of Ft Wayne in the East US 30 rest area I was approached by a man. :shock: I was so stunned I dont even remember what he said. Both times I said something to the effect of no thanks and they left me alone. Although I dont constantly worry about it I do take precautions, keep my doors locked, watch my surroundings etc. I'm not over the road so I dont have a big need for rest areas and truckstops. Just pay attention and you'll be fine.

I never had a problem with it either Rev. I always assumed the gays didn't like me more than anyone else did

Man, I just have to laugh at the "ZOMG A FAG MIGHT HIT ON ME!!!!11!!oneone!!" :lol:

Seriously, folks...about 95% of the time, a polite 'no' will work. I mean, I don't like bran muffins, but you don't see me posting a thread on "What do I do if a truck stop waitress offers me a bran muffin?"

Now, when it comes to that 5% of gay dudes who are too persistent for their own good and refuse to respect 'no means no'...well, I'll give you the same advice I'd give any woman with an overly-persistent 'suitor.' Do whatever you have to do to discourage him. If a 'no' isn't respected, this person has shown that he isn't going to play by the rules of civilized society, and therefore you don't have to, either.

But, man, if a dude's just asking, take it as a compliment and move on.

after getting into the spot, setting the tractor brakes, and catching up the log book after 11hrs of driving, somebody parked their olive green jeep cherokee in front of me. he got out and i immediately knew it was one of those flamboyant types. my window was halfway rolled down since it was the summer and i like driving with my driver side window halfway down during the night time. he jumped up on the driver side of my truck without asking permission. i gave him three warnings to get the hell off or else suffer the consequences. he kept saying, "i justht want to asthk you sthomething." i didn't want to know what it was, and i let him have it. i let him ride the lightning with the ultra awesome taser. he let out a real loud scream, some others woke up and saw what was happening, mentioned they also got bugged by the same dude a few hours prior, and had to threaten violence against him for jumping on to their trucks. nobody called the police. 8)

after regaining his senses enough, he got up, got back into his cherokee, and booked it out of there. i realized then that those back row spots were left open for a reason. too bad there weren't any open up front. i slept for a few hours, woke up at about 1000, and moved the truck up front. it was funny to see that i wasn't the only one with the same idea in mind.

another run-in with gay dude was at a shipper in tolleson. this time it was a driver from a cousin company that i should leave unnamed. he was asking me about stuff i browse while online and then, suddenly, he asked if i had a webcam and if i would be willing to put on a show for him. all i said to him was, "our conversation is now over. **** off!"

Taser, eh? Sounds like a good thing to consider adding to my bag of tricks. A baseball bat might not be a bad idea either. Never know when you'll run across a pickup game

baseball bats are great only if you have enough swing room to use them. tasers are great because of the range, can be shot through an open window, and it's always fun squeezing on the trigger to constantly shock the bugger. also, unless you're superman or the flash, you won't be able to dodge a couple of taser darts once they've been let loose. a baseball bat can be dodged, ducked, and/or weaved.

you do realize that your walking a dangerous line tazing people just because they refuse to follow a verbal command. In most states that would be considered assault. while not considered a deadly weapon it is still a weapon. you can't just taze people because they refuse to listen to you. he was not threating you and he made no gesture to indicate he was going to harm you. I honestly doubt you tazed anyone! sounds like a story you should be telling on channel 19

hmmm, does that mean when i open the door for a woman-- that I want here to entertain the idea of haveing unprotected sex with me? man am I a dog--

all these years of holding the door open for all those women-- I have NO standards at all.

I think that if someone is standing on your step next to your door and refuses to follow a command he is in fact on private property and subject to any countermeasures deemed neccessary.

Nobody wrote that, why are you are trying to cast people that don't want homosexual encounters as bigots?

So in your retarded world a strange man knocking on the door of my rest stop bathroom stall looking for sex is the same as a waitress offering me a muffin eh?
