Been trucking 32 years alone some local work and some not always have a dog and a cb working and use the seat belt through the door a bucket for midnight emergency and and a knife

It's not just women who don't feel safe out here. You always have to be alert to your surroundings. When the curtains are closed you don't know what is happening while you're asleep. If you're really concerned the best thing to do is get a dog in the truck. They will alert you, and protect you from a lot of things, and they will always show you love away from home.

I've been doing this 30 yrs and haven't really had many issues. I don't park in the inner city and sleep, I don't go inside of rest areas after dark. Most of it is just using your head and watching your surroundings. I have parked on mor Ethan one occasion and ended up just moving the truck due to shady characters. Get a dog to run with you. It will help keep you safe

Knew a couple woman drivers and most of them park under a light pole during night hrs if they could.

Be aware of your surroundings. Walk like you know what you're doing. Keep a tire thumper handy...carry mace....at night, pull your seat belts through your door handle. I've been out here for 10 years and never had a problem.

I'm a dude but Glock 9 mm. Take a ccw class and get your permit.

My wife when she drives on her own carries a 357 and one of our pitbulls dont know if either is an option for you

Get a dog..a real dog,not a dust mop..and then u can park any where !! But still b particular where u brake at

definitely be careful and stay in contact with friends!

Keep your out of cab trips during the day.
