Truck Stop Prostitution

Tweet

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — The Citizens Band Radio, or CB, may be a truckers eyes and ears, but it’s also the voice of prostitution. The ladies refer to themselves as dates, while truckers call them lot lizards.

“Yeah, they get on your truck, they flash you, ask if you want a date, they ask if you want company,” said trucker Ralph Ramos.

ABC 23 staked out the 24-7 truck stop on three different days and nights and each time, the prostitutes were heard communicating via CB radio to truck drivers. Each time they directed the trucks to what’s called, “party row,” where police say prostitutes meet up with their clients.

“They rarely talk about the acts of prostitution over the CB,” said Det. Kavin Brewers of the Kern County Sheriff’s Department. “Mostly it’s to get truck drivers and then the solicitation for prostitution usually occurs inside the truck cab.”

Prostitutes ABC 23 spoke to say they charge on average $10 to $50 for oral sex and $100 for intercourse. Others simply charge for their time.

“My service is my good company with you no matter what I do,” said a prostitute by the name of “Jane”.

Another prostitute named Tahara said, “It varies, sometimes you make $500 a day sometimes you go home with $50.”

Whatever the cost, most truckers say they try to steer clear.

    Poor truckers. As if they don’t have to deal with enough drama and stress on the road, they now have these trashy girls hanging out at the stops?! Leave them alone. Truckers transport the food we eat and the clothes we wear and the furniture we sit on, so we should probably give them some more respect. Good to hear that they are trying to avoid these girls whenever possible. On another note, what are some good ideas for trucker gifts? I have a friend who drives trucks now, and I can’t think of anything to get him for Christmas!
