Approaching people to ask for a lift is not common as standing with the thumb up is usually the main representation of searching for a lift, so many people might got surprised by the request. It won't be perceived as negative but just as simply uncommon.
Hitch-hiking a truck will usually be less common for the reason mentionned above, that the majority of the hitch-hiker are usually travelling short distance or heading into cities. Truck drivers usually stick to the main 'governement number road' or highways and rarely adventures themself into the cities. The uses of [[CB radiosradio]] is well spread, therefore catching a ride with a truck driver could means that he can contact its surrounding to find you another lift further away.
This said, even if people are well receptive to hitch-hiker (elderly and women included), encounting red neck behaviour while standing along the road (ie. being yelled at, honked or fingered) will also happen simply as people are bored and you became an easy target to a prank. In another situation those very same people would probably react totally kindly and receptive if you would approach them at a Service-Station.
