Truckers give the best and longest rides. Most of them are not supposed to stop in the middle of a freeway or highway and accept riders, but they often do. They will usually be listening to country or western music. They know all the lyrics, drink a lot of sugary sodas loaded with caffeine, chew tobacco, and take speed to stay awake.
They drive fast but safe and they have lots of stories to tell if you can hear them over the roar of their engines and twangy music. They will always try to get some pussy or a blow job, but you can safely say, “No, not tonight, I don’t want to, that’s not my idea, my boy friend wouldn’t like it,” and they’ll lay off. Usually.
There were a couple of times she had to tell one or two of them, “Stop and let me out.” She lost a really good road atlas that way once when she got let out hurriedly by an asshole who dumped her off in the snow. (The one time she had gone too far north). The best reason not to give in to the sex even if you would want to go for it is because you are on a mission to get somewhere and it is going to take up too much time, make your driver tired and want to take a nap, and then you’ll lose your ride.
One driver who took her all the way across Texas. What a great ride! He was funny! Racing a train and honking wildly. He was on black beauties and wanted to drive and drive…. eventually he wanted to stop and eat and gas up. When they do that you usually lose your ride because after they eat, they want to take a nap and have sex. Best get out and stick your thumb out again.
Many times you can get rides at truck stops by asking the guys in the truck stop if they are going your way. They usually like company and will take you along. If they pressure you too much about the sex business, you can always get them talking about their families, and that will usually get them off the subject … The whole idea is to keep moving.
