A young, train rider, hitch-hiker; he did both. Has passed away after being run over by a truck in the company parking lot of the trucking company.
He was a member on digihitch, but others are trying to figure out what name exactly he went by.
Sombody here may know who he was.......

I got a ride with this fat trucker from Ontario, nice guy, he was telling me about his brother who was also coincidentally a fat trucker from Ontario. His brother had woken up in the truckstop parking lot a few years back, turned on the truck, pulled out, and run over not one but 3 dirty kids, killing 2 of them and maiming the third. The kids had been passing around a bottle, it was big rainstorm, and went to sleep under the trailer.
It is LAW you must walk-around check of your vehicle before starting to drive in the morning but damn who thinks people are sleeping under their truck? Ya hope not
RIP

One of favorite sleeping spots, is under trailors..but I avoid the ones hooked to engines..actual trucks, from paranoia of getting ran over, in my sleep.
R.I.P. young one.

I stay away from parked vehicles to sleep (unless I am in it) and I also stay away from dumpsters. A homeguard friend of mine got picked up out of a cardboard dumpster and crushed in Boise.

Be safe folks.
