The “Phantom Hitchhiker” is a well-known urban legend in the trucking industry, involving mysterious hitchhikers that drivers encounter on dark, lonely roads. Truckers report picking up a seemingly normal hitchhiker, only to have the person disappear from the passenger seat without a trace. The hitchhiker often appears to be in distress, dressed in outdated or tattered clothing, and seems desperate for a ride to a specific destination, such as a home, a small town, or even a hospital. Upon arrival, the hitchhiker vanishes, or the trucker learns that the person has been dead for years. These eerie encounters leave drivers with unanswered questions and an unsettling feeling, making the Phantom Hitchhiker one of the most haunting tales of the open road.

“The CB Killer” is a chilling urban legend in the trucking community that revolves around a serial killer who uses a CB radio to lure truckers into deadly traps. According to the tale, the killer poses as a fellow driver or a distressed individual in need of assistance, calling for help over the CB radio on a lonely stretch of road. When a good-hearted trucker responds and stops to help, they fall into the killer’s ambush. The CB Killer is said to be highly skilled in manipulating the conversation, knowing just how to gain the trust of their target before making their move. This legend serves as a warning to truck drivers to be cautious about who they trust on the open road, reminding them that not every voice on the airwaves has good intentions.
