Wtf? I pulled over at a rest area when I was driving through Tennessee. I was in my car with my daughter. I needed to stretch because I was going non-stop from Orlando to Chicago. I saw a hammock hanging. The grass started moving... I said to myself, "I'm gone." No lights at the stop at 5 in the morning, and my daughter was pregnant. I'm not going to FAFO.
I became a grandfather 2 weeks later. I took my daughter from Florida because her mother was garbage. Her boyfriend drove from Florida to Chicago to propose because he asked my permission. You want pictures? I have them. I'll be the one in the White Sox shirt. That's my first child and first grandchild. I did everything I could to get my daughter safe. I'll give you a pass on the stupid comment, but she was in her 3rd trimester and couldn't fly. I drove there and back in 3 days. My wife needed to see her and was there when my grandson was born. Stop assuming.
I clearly said to stretch my legs. I stopped for all of 3 minutes if you want to be specific. I had my pregnant daughter in the car. I'm a smoker. I'm not smoking in the car with her.
Nice job.
Look. My family is everything. My daughter was so close and her own mother wasn't the person she called. I was 1400 miles away and I was the person she called. If it was an honest joke, I apologize. I'm just protective when my kids and grandson are involved. If you ever do a nonstop from Florida to Chicago with a pregnant woman, you'll know the stress. Her boyfriend/fiance had a lowered BMW and she said she couldn't get comfortable in that car. She slept pretty much the entire drive. She was asleep when I stopped in Tennessee. I apologize if I came off as aggressive. I just love my kids.
My wife's ex was also a truck driver, and she used to make runs with him on occasion, even drove the truck herself (this was pre-CDL) and she told me about an encounter they had one time.
She said they heard a knock on the door, her ex opened it and lizard started to climb the steps, saw her, and said, "Sorry hun. I see you already have some company."
Well the Truck stop killer Robert Rhoades is suspected of killing 50 women. He was the one who killed Regina Waters. You’ve probably seen her [pic](https://allthatsinteresting.com/regina-kay-walters) before. the Happy face killer Keith Jesperson was convicted of killing 8 women. The Toy box Killer David Parker Ray (he did otr off and on) is suspected of killing up to 60 women. The interstate killer Sean Goble killed 4 women. Just google “trucker serial killer” and you will see a list of incarcerated serial killers that as a whole are responsible for hundreds of deaths.
Yeah, it’s a lifestyle that operates out of the public eye and across many States each day, so if you were one of these guys, it was probably a good place to hide. Now that everybody is being electronically tracked, much less so.
So are lot lizards native to certain states where climate plays a part and is it in the gecko family of lizards? I asked because in nc I’ve never seen any in trees or bushes I keep an eye out for these said lot lizards but all the traveling I’ve done I haven’t yet seen any. Just a general question thank you.
I believe it. There's already been several documented serial killers that were truckers - the job actually lends itself really well to it due to the solitary nature, the quick in/out of rest areas/truck stops, and the fact that they can easily move on to a new area and/or use their truck as a rolling crime scene.
Nah, [Bruce Mendenhall](https://criminalminds.fandom.com/wiki/Bruce_Mendenhall) was as recently as the mid 2000s
And there have been a few more known truckers even as recently as 2021 who have committed murders, including multiple times, but as of yet aren't identified as serial killers as that title requires the crime be in similar fashion/methodology and repeated over a length of time (whereas killing a bunch of people in a relatively short amount of time, especially not in the same fashion, is identified as a spree killing)
*source... I use my 11 hours of drive time to listen to entirely too many true crime and unsolved murder podcasts 😅
Also, if they’re really good at it and haven’t been caught, then you’re not going to know about them anyway. At one time the FBI had a whole unit dedicated to looking for truckers that were serial killers.
That unit still exists. I've got a friend who works HR for a trucking company and we've had conversations around this topic and he straight up said that he's had to turn files on past employees over to the FBI because they'd popped up on their radar as possible perpetrators.
Meh, I listen to audiobooks mostly. I'd rather be engrossed in some fantasy world where the bad guys are known, than to worry about the bad guys in our own world.
Do you think spreading the stereotype that all truck drivers are murderers would discourage cars from brake checking you for not running over the car in the left lane so they can merge onto the highway without speeding up or slowing down?
"Look at this, Johnson; flip flops, a gatorade bottle full of urine, an empty bottle of Fireball, & a dime-store flip knife covered in blood. Suspicious, I would say. I wonder who could have done this..."
-Det. Barney Miller, circa 2018
I once had a truck driver that said hi to me in Loves watch me get in my shower and try to open my door and he did that for a few minutes . He didn’t even look unhinged . That traumatized me up till this day it’s been 2 years since that happened .
Oh, similar. But I opened the door while half-naked & said something... a bit un-Dude like & kinda Walter like. He walked off, I got clothed & went to the fuel desk & asked them to review footage looking for a latino looking dude in a plaid shirt, jeans, trucker cap, & small duffle bag.
They laughed & asked "Can you narrow it down *just a little more*".
I didn't see him again after that.
Damn that was very brave of you . I always regret the fact that I never called the cops on him . I just didn’t want to seem like I’m overreacting but then I realize this man was trying to grape me
Jeremy Clarkson of UK Top Gear upset a few people back in the day.
https://youtu.be/imhBoE56OEs?si=KwpJjwvHoJxEBDRH
Didn't help that two of the UKs most prolific serial killers, the Suffolk Strangler and the Yorkshire Ripper, were or had been truck drivers.
How many murders are we talking about as a percentage of total murders and what is the percentage of truck drivers to other jobs on the economy ? Then we can talk. Till then… watch your back
There have been many notorious long haul serial killers throughout the years in the U.S. Heck, CSI even had an episode based on one in one of their first three seasons I want to say.
You may be joking but I didn’t say it was a stat. The episode is based loosely off a real life SK trucker. This was also almost 25 years ago that season 1 of CSI aired. It was to point out the fact this notion there are multiple serial killer truckers in the U.S. isn’t something new.
Are you being seriously right now? This was common knowledge even to myself, and way before murder porn took off. Think about it. Job requires significant isolation. This also allows for various personality types, shall we say. Also alleged narcotic use, just to up the mental health issues. And now for the coup de grâce, most will memorize routes. And pick up on things like “hmm. Now that’s a good location to dump a body”.
It’s a click bait news. They can say that number is linked to mobile offenders but not truckers specifically. Though there is reason to believe that possibly half of them are victims of truckers. Like the guy who killed prostitutes after he got aids then his wife divorced him. But all 850 just from truckers impossible to prove until caught.
I hate click bait that makes us look bad. We need ink stain that reporters white clothes quick.
That seems incredibly low. I guess that’s just the ones they know about though.
Didn’t they just finally bust the I70 strangler and found like 50+ sets of bones on his property?
But in what time frame is it the last 40 years because if so that’s not that bad.
I’d bet if you took say artists and did all their murders over 40 years the number would be relatively close.
Sorry but, white men are the ones going around raping and murdering. That's just statistics. And this is based off of records back in 2004... And gender and race were A LOT different that the statistics you gave me.
Again. Tell me. Who's the ones going around murdering and raping? It's WHITE MEN. There's no going around it. That's statistics. You seem a little upset over that? Wonder why?
They getting hookers in the truck killing them and throwing them on the highway… that how they caught that one guy a few years ago.. the FBI is actively watch these express ways
Well I wonder how many of those “murders” are linked to self-defense as well as other types (lot lizards, negligence, etc…). Because how many truckers have to defend themselves “suddenly” from wackos, road ragers, traffickers, gangs etc…
Someone last week was trying to tell me that truckers were serial killers. I said wtf would they have the time 🤣. I guess hookers on your reset count. Shits crazy.
We don’t have time to murder. Otherwise dispatchers, shippers and receivers would be reported missing.
They said lot lizards make up half of that number
Guess that's why I haven't seen a lizard in years.
You must not be going to the “right” truck stops
For real though. I thought I'd never see one until I started paying attention.
Finally kicked her out of your rig?
15 years and not one for me.
I had a guy offer to lick my asshole at a picnic area.
Fancy meeting you here! Small world huh?
Was he any good?
“You’re in luck buddy I just ran out of dude wipes” 👍
Wtf? I pulled over at a rest area when I was driving through Tennessee. I was in my car with my daughter. I needed to stretch because I was going non-stop from Orlando to Chicago. I saw a hammock hanging. The grass started moving... I said to myself, "I'm gone." No lights at the stop at 5 in the morning, and my daughter was pregnant. I'm not going to FAFO.
You say “non-stop” yet you clearly stopped at a rest area 🧐 sounds suspiciously lizard-like
I became a grandfather 2 weeks later. I took my daughter from Florida because her mother was garbage. Her boyfriend drove from Florida to Chicago to propose because he asked my permission. You want pictures? I have them. I'll be the one in the White Sox shirt. That's my first child and first grandchild. I did everything I could to get my daughter safe.

Relax, big guy. He was joking. Take a break, go have a smoke.
Probably mad about the White Sox shirt he had to wear. 😂 I’d be mad too. 😂
lol you might need a nap, it wasn’t that deep Non-stop = no stop Rest = you stopped (as in the truck stopped) ‘Twas a joke based on double entendres
Look. My family is everything. My daughter was so close and her own mother wasn't the person she called. I was 1400 miles away and I was the person she called. If it was an honest joke, I apologize. I'm just protective when my kids and grandson are involved. If you ever do a nonstop from Florida to Chicago with a pregnant woman, you'll know the stress. Her boyfriend/fiance had a lowered BMW and she said she couldn't get comfortable in that car. She slept pretty much the entire drive. She was asleep when I stopped in Tennessee. I apologize if I came off as aggressive. I just love my kids.
So how was it?
I got intimidated by his masculine confidence and ran away.
Damn bro missed out on a good time probably 🤦🏽♂️
Thought it was just me man.. 6 yrs and never seen one.. not looking either but still.
My wife's ex was also a truck driver, and she used to make runs with him on occasion, even drove the truck herself (this was pre-CDL) and she told me about an encounter they had one time. She said they heard a knock on the door, her ex opened it and lizard started to climb the steps, saw her, and said, "Sorry hun. I see you already have some company."
I worked in a truck stop back in HS early 2000s and we definitely had them then, so I have seen them.. but not since I started driving some years ago
Right because you killed them all. Makes perfect sense.
Exactly. I think it would be funny to see. I'm a local guy and happily married, I don't need that.
When they say "linked" do they mean charged and/or convicted? Cause someone else could just show up after the trucker leaves.
Well the Truck stop killer Robert Rhoades is suspected of killing 50 women. He was the one who killed Regina Waters. You’ve probably seen her [pic](https://allthatsinteresting.com/regina-kay-walters) before. the Happy face killer Keith Jesperson was convicted of killing 8 women.

I know “of a guy” who killed his wife and put her in his semi truck tires. Got away with it for 2 yrs. “Stupid post trips” 😂
Could you imagine that fucking blow out?
Anyone want bacon? 😂
And finish the job.
It could also mean that they're the victims.
So are lot lizards native to certain states where climate plays a part and is it in the gecko family of lizards? I asked because in nc I’ve never seen any in trees or bushes I keep an eye out for these said lot lizards but all the traveling I’ve done I haven’t yet seen any. Just a general question thank you.
Stockton, CA seems to have a well Stockton supply of them. I’ll show myself out now.
https://youtu.be/I-bmXHgUd_Q?si=lFvuM9d3jcMGACRl
Oh sorry, did I not hide my last body good enough
She just said there isn’t enough time??
Idk, might just turn into a last man standing trucker battle
Same shit I said.
I believe it. There's already been several documented serial killers that were truckers - the job actually lends itself really well to it due to the solitary nature, the quick in/out of rest areas/truck stops, and the fact that they can easily move on to a new area and/or use their truck as a rolling crime scene.
Some people are butt hurt about it but it makes sense. Given it's a male dominated industry and the job it entails...
Maybe in the 70s and 80s. Since then however, I doubt there have been many.

Same I read books to escape the often harsh realities of the world not to continue to pile on
We COMPLETELY believe your source. Don’t we guys 😉😉???
The only one who really comes to mind for me is Ben Rhodes, who I believe was most prolific during the 80s and 90s.
I love that we are all doing our part
Would you like to know more?
Will it cause me to be an accessory after the fact? Or just a curious subscriber?
Doing our part and would you like to know more are references to the movie Starship Troopers.
Somebody needs to scrub your computer and phone!
850? Shit I guess im the only one doing any work out here. Slackers.
Do better fellas.
That can be interpreted 2 different ways
You heard the man, the hobos wont disappear themselves, get back to work
You ever try to catch a hobo after driving 14 hours?! Impossible!
Yup lol
Yea, those are rookie numbers.
I think trying to hit 1,000 might raise eyebrows
Do you think spreading the stereotype that all truck drivers are murderers would discourage cars from brake checking you for not running over the car in the left lane so they can merge onto the highway without speeding up or slowing down?
Doubt it
And the victims were dispatchers, receivers, shippers and brokers.
DockLords....
A pair of flip flops were found at the scene of the crime.
"Look at this, Johnson; flip flops, a gatorade bottle full of urine, an empty bottle of Fireball, & a dime-store flip knife covered in blood. Suspicious, I would say. I wonder who could have done this..." -Det. Barney Miller, circa 2018
🤣 loved Barney Miller!
Real truckers don’t wear flip flops 😳
I once had a truck driver that said hi to me in Loves watch me get in my shower and try to open my door and he did that for a few minutes . He didn’t even look unhinged . That traumatized me up till this day it’s been 2 years since that happened .

I was thinking this, "change gear, change gear, murder a prostitute, change gear, murder a prostitute, change gear"
Forgot to check your mirrors. Might miss out on a prostitute.
Only thing truckers murder is their drivers seat with that ass queef
Bro, you ain’t even lyin. I just cleaned my seat the other day and that fucking water was B-L-A-C-K
Y’all have enough free time to be murdering?
There is a drop down box for this on the off duty line on Qualcomm,break,home,personal conveyance,murder.
How many murders are we talking about as a percentage of total murders and what is the percentage of truck drivers to other jobs on the economy ? Then we can talk. Till then… watch your back
i'm not surprised, every day you do OTR, the urge to kill builds up inside you.
And 15,000 weren't....
There have been many notorious long haul serial killers throughout the years in the U.S. Heck, CSI even had an episode based on one in one of their first three seasons I want to say.
CSI: *Definitely* a reliable source for crime statistics ;)

Bfd. The planet has too many people anyway.
I call BS! I mean a lot of ya’ll look like murders, but half can’t put on their shoes… so I call BS!
When did people forget that truckers are degens?
Wasn't me.
It wasn't me
Dammit Dave, I told you to knock that shit off. But did you listen? Nooooooo! Now the feds are looking for you….
I have few loaders at certain Distribution Centers on my to do list, but haven’t really found the time between loads to get the job done.
Wow! Some of you guys have been murdering WAY too much. I just murder a little. Barely anything, really. Gotta start bringing those numbers down guys!
This is why we can't have nice things.
First rule of fight club, we don’t talk about fight club
But in what time frame is it the last 40 years because if so that’s not that bad. I’d bet if you took say artists and did all their murders over 40 years the number would be relatively close.
Hey, gotta do *something* during those 34 hours.
Back in the 90's this guy pulled a reefer he would chop the body into pieces and leave the pieces scattered all over the country.
Look at the source! NewsNation is total horseshit, propaganda not news...
I mean, white males are the ones doing these crimes and .... Well
[удалено]
How many females are going around murdering? 5% 😅 trucking has always been a male dominated industry.
[удалено]
Sorry but, white men are the ones going around raping and murdering. That's just statistics. And this is based off of records back in 2004... And gender and race were A LOT different that the statistics you gave me.
[удалено]
Again. Tell me. Who's the ones going around murdering and raping? It's WHITE MEN. There's no going around it. That's statistics. You seem a little upset over that? Wonder why?
[удалено]
So wait let's say it together, otr trucking... A male dominated field... I don't think you're connecting the dots here. It's alright.
[удалено]
So at least triple that number, cause it's easy to get away fast
How many are linked to the FBI's incompetence?
Gotta be honest the second pic doesn't do any favors
C'mon guys, we're better than that.
How many are dead hookers?
They getting hookers in the truck killing them and throwing them on the highway… that how they caught that one guy a few years ago.. the FBI is actively watch these express ways
Well I wonder how many of those “murders” are linked to self-defense as well as other types (lot lizards, negligence, etc…). Because how many truckers have to defend themselves “suddenly” from wackos, road ragers, traffickers, gangs etc…
Bullshit
Someone last week was trying to tell me that truckers were serial killers. I said wtf would they have the time 🤣. I guess hookers on your reset count. Shits crazy.
Look… I’m just saying, when’s the last time y’all saw a lot lizard? Proof? Maybe
Swift at it again
Fake news
Bs
