Although highways can be dangerous places to work, so can truck stops or any place truck drivers stop to eat, refuel or rest. Truck stops are generally isolated and not very well illuminated, making truck drivers walking across truck stop parking lots at night or sitting in their cabs an easy mark. Assault can happen at any time, during the day or night, and even at stops that drivers may use safely on a regular basis.
Deciding where to park is the key to truck stop safety. All drivers should find a parking spot that is well lit and as close to the main building as possible. Drivers should always be vigilant when leaving or returning to their vehicle.
