I have been trucking on and off for three years. In all that time, I have never encountered a lot lizard. For those who don't know a lot lizard is a truck stop prostitute. Since most truck stops are patrolled, lot lizards are a rare sight. Most of the time they get on the CB and solicite that way.
And there I was. I was trying to sleep on a humid and muggy night. It was cool, but the humidity made it uncomfortable. It was after midnight when I got a knock on my door. I looked out and saw nothing. I then heard another knock. I looked to the back of the driver's side door and saw two women standing there. I asked the hard question.... "What?"
They didn't answer. I then asked "What!!!?" I just stared at them waiting for them to say something.
One of them finally said, "Can you help us out?"
To which I replied, "No! I'm trying to sleep."
I then went back to the bunk. However, it bothered me so much I couldn't get to sleep for over an hour.
I had never had that happen to me before. Never.
Then it wasn't just a few days later I was in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I was actually talking to my Mom on the phone. (Honestly, I was.) I heard a knock on my door. I looked out the window, and there was a woman out there smiling at me. I thought, "Oh no, not again."
I just shook my head, and said, "Noooooooo."
It was unfortunate, in that she was a cute thing. She had no business doing what she was trying to do. I felt bad for her.
But it kind of blew my mind. I had never been approached in three years of trucking. My former trainer Doug said he had only been approached once in 12 years of driving. And here I get two offers in less than a week. I was thinking, "These must be tough times we are living in for the girls to be working this hard."
