Because of the nature of the job, it's understandable that truckers stick together like they do, offering help to their fellow drivers often.

One recent example of this has gone viral; a list of truck stops across the nation that fall under the category of "do not stop," and four of these truck stops are in Colorado.

Which Colorado Truck Stops Are On the Don't Stop List?

The viral "do not stop" list for truck drivers lists the following Colorado truck stops as places to avoid:

Love's #906, I-270 Exit 2A, Commerce City, CO 80022

All of the truck stops on the list have gained a spot there due to an abundance of theft from semi-trailers. These crimes are typically caused by organized crime groups and the list makes note of the truck stops that have been targeted lately.
