Park in the front row

“PARK ON THE FRONT ROW”

I have been a trucker for 30 plus years. I have found the best way to keep lot lizards from knocking on your door all night long is to not frequent those truck stops for longer than enough time to fuel, shower or eat. Then get out and go to Wal-mart or Kmart to sleep. I eat out of my truck 99 percent of the time. I take my showers in the morning after loading or unloading. If you don’t park on the back row at truck stops, you won’t be bothered. Park on the front row, and lizards won’t bother you there either if it’s well lit.
