# Truck drivers: They quite often cannot take anyone legally because of the insurances but always ask them about the possibility. Two persons is more complicated but the bed behind the seats can be good to hide your friend. They are good for overnight trips, as you may ask driver if you can sleep in bed.
=== HichHiker Tips ===
This is the section where anyone can write his practical tip.
My idea is to try and make of it as much sience as possible so here are some ground rules:
* '''The Avrage Driver''' - the avrage driver does not understand in hich hiking and that is why you will get a lot of gestures from drivers indicating they "stay in the area" or "not going far". It does not occure to them that even a 10, 5 mile or "only to the next junction" ride will advance you and will have critical positive mental effect.
* '''Clothing & Apperance''' - since our goal is to get from point A to B, without importance of who is going to pick us up we want to look as trust worthy or "good, nice, unharmful guys" as we can. That means dressed in quite a popular way to the place you are in. Usually it means shorts/jeans and Tshirt (preferably light color) for boys and girls and possibly dress for girls. Of course working according to situation is better, i.e. hich hike to a metal concert you might dress all black with anthrax T-shirt and 10 piercing in your face and probably get a fast, to the spot ride, but the avrage driver might feel unwilling to stop to someone of "your type" out of pregediseprejudice.
* '''Be ready to walk''' - Location is crucial and so it is not rare to walk sometimes a mile or even more to get the best position for your next ride. On the way it is fine to try and stop vehicles.
