In my previous articles I tried to include every factor that was connected with the trucking business and the truck driver life but now I want to take another perspective of the trucking world and that is the truck stop prostitution.
Living in a shell far away from the dark side of the world we can’t see what is really going on in front of us. Human perception is completely distorted because somehow we achieve a level where we are just judging and ignoring.
Being a truck driver has positive and negative sides and one of the positive aspects is having a chance to earn money by traveling across the United States seeing new places and meeting new people.
Truck stops are a huge part of a trucker life, they are places where you can rest, take a shower or have a conversation with your trucker fellows.
America’s Independent Truckers’ Association estimated nearly 5,000 truck stops across the United States.

The OTR truck drivers are the people that live a life on the open road and many of them can witness some odd things that are going on the open road while they driving. Are those real or just part of truck driver imagination?
OK, the existence of some things maybe can’t be proven and as result of that most of the times we are wondering what is myth or reality.
Truck stop prostitution is something that is actually happening. Every truck driver is familiar with this type of activity during the night.
The truck stop prostitution is a major issue that most of the truck drivers understand. Alerting the low enforcement and pointing the presence of the truck stop prostitution is their way to stop this kind of dangerous behavior.
What Is Truck Stop Prostitution
In the past not so long ago the truck stops were privately owned and the focus was on providing efficient service to the customers.

Every business starts in a place where there’s an open opportunity. Truck stops are in a way perfect place for prostitution activity. Every day on that same truck stop numbers of truck drivers are parking to take rest and relax before the next long day.
Truck stop prostitution is definitely not a myth it is something that is really going on in the parking lots of the truck stops.
A would say that every service has its own customers and the same goes with the truck stop prostitution. Let’s be real if there were not requirements the prostitution in generally would be just a tale.
A lot of things has changed trough the history but prostitution remains the same. Sad but true the truck stop prostitution for the people that are part of that business is a way of staying alive.

I made a research on how the truck stop prostitution affects the truck drivers and I was able to find a lot of real information from truck drivers that were a target of this kind of behavior but for that little latter.
Now I want to focus on the modern truck stops that are part of the large chains and how they are solving the problem of truck stop prostitution.
The truck stops are not places were only truck drivers are stopping to get rest during the night, shower or use some of the other truck stop amenities. These days the modern truck stops are offering high-level of services for the truck drivers and families.
The modern truck stops want to maintain clean, friendly and family service to their customers. This is the reason that they want to get rid of any signs that can destroy their reputation.

Some of the truck stops to prevent truck stop prostitution have their own 24/7 security. All of these preventing measures are proved as pretty effective of stopping truck stop prostitution.

The question is what are lot lizards? Well, the term lot lizard presents a person that goes from truck to truck like a lizard that goes from rock to rock.
It refers to a prostitute that goes from truck to trucks offering sexual services (commercial services) to the truck drivers that are parked in the parking lot.

Most of the truck drivers are avoiding the ”services” that the lot lizards are offering but however let’s say that from 30ty truck drivers 28 will refuse and one or 2 of them will accept the offer from the Lot Lizard.
Sad but true. Let’s face the reality if there was not demand of lot lizards the truck stop prostitution would not exist or there would not be any lot lizards left.
The truck drivers are refusing the services that the lot lizards are offering because most of these girls are drug users or homeless which is a perfect combination for diseases. Maybe the fear to get a nasty STD is keeping the truck drivers away from the lot lizards.
