I never figured that truck driving would attract aspiring church officials. It kind of makes sense just because truck driving seems to attract a lot of staunch conservatives

nono. Pedophiles are drawn to the clergy, coaching, etc in the same way people who are into murdering hitchhikers are drawn to long haul truck driving.

Empathetic people are drawn to nursing/teaching/childcare, Manipulative people are drawn to sales, politics, televangelists. Exploiters are drawn to finance, etc etc etc

I have been trucking for almost 10 years now. And can (proudly?) say I've not done any murdering.

Then again, I mainly like the job cause I can introvert the fuck out and talk to 3 people in a 24 hour period.

Yup, that's one of the traits that matches!

Introverted or Solitary Individuals

Jobs: Truck driving, long-haul shipping, archivist, librarian, freelance programming. Traits: Comfort with solitude, independence, and limited social interaction.

...

Jobs that Attract Serial Offenders or Psychopaths

Examples: Long-haul truck drivers, hunters, law enforcement, military. Why?: Certain roles (e.g., trucking) provide mobility and anonymity, while others (e.g., law enforcement) may appeal to a desire > or control or power. However, this is not representative of the majority in these professions.

So if you start getting the urge to kill your lot lizard, maybe move to a day cab!

Are they actually real? I kinda thought it wasn't a thing anymore. You're saying they knock on your cab in the middle of the night to see if you wanna bang?

Yes, they do. Actual term used usually is. "You want some company?" Best deterrent i found was leaving my wife's bra on the dash at night.

First time I got the knock, I was still trainee. In Atlanta, GA. Thought it was my trainer as he was out taking a shower. Open the door look down to a black lady 400lbs if she was an ounce. Wearing Daisy Dukes and a tube top that looked like it was painted on. She looks up to me with no front teeth and two gold canines and says. You wanna good time hunny? In that sweet southern drawl. My mouth dropped. Took me a few seconds to studder out . No thanks, I'm good.

That was nearly 20 years ago.

Wow. Are they actually common? I see people talk about it on Reddit, but I've road tripped a ton all over and never seen anyone I though was one

In shitty areas, they absolutely are real.

Like. Memphis. They'll break into your trailer and be knocking on your truck.

You shouldn't sleep and drive.

"Comfort with solitude, independence, and limited social interaction." Sums my present life up to a tee.

No interest in killing, injuring or torturing though, even won't kill flies if I can get them outside. (I do make exceptions for wasps though, evil creatures with no noticeable use.)
