Nov 18, 2014 Rating NO Bueno!!!! NEW by: Truckin Wife My husband and I drive together and I can tell you that everywhere we go we see people with "help me get to "wherever" signs....its not a good idea. Most truckers will pass you by and those that would pick you up YOU may not want to trust. The 60's are over dude. buy a bus ticket and get where you're going. that's my advice.

Sep 08, 2014 Rating Nope NEW by: Anonymous Not anymore, If i have a passenger I have to have proof of insurance for that passenger. Cops will ask for this insurance if you get pulled over. when my girl goes with me as a company driver i have to fill out insurance forms monthly for her to ride. I also have to pay the premium. As far as owner operators go I am sure they still must have insurance for the passenger. dangerous world out there good luck

Sep 08, 2014 Rating ? NEW by: Anonymous not recommended. some states outlawed hitch hiking a number of years ago. they think most who do this are prostitutes. yes even males do this act. so either way it is unsafe. there are freaks in every profession and many homosexuals in trucking. there are several serial killers who were truck drivers as well. you can look that one up yourself - mostly torture.
