Uncanny encounters with unknown entities are common. It could be a feeling of being watched, or actually seeing something like a shadowy figure approaching the truck. Sometimes, it's a strange sound that seems to be following the truck, like a low growl or a high - pitched wail, which adds to the horror element.
One common element is the isolation. Trucks often travel on lonely roads, which sets a spooky scene. Another is strange noises. Like in many stories, the truck driver might hear unexplained scratching or banging on the truck. Also, seeing strange figures, whether it's a ghostly apparition or a menacing shadow, is quite common.
One common element is the lonely roads. These are often where the spooky things happen, like in the middle of nowhere at night. Another is the unexpected apparitions, such as a figure suddenly appearing in the headlights or on the side of the road.
Hard work is a common element. Truck drivers who succeed are often those who are willing to put in long hours and don't shy away from difficult routes. For example, they might take on night drives or drives through tough terrains.
One horror story is about a truck driver who was driving at night on a lonely highway. Suddenly, his headlights started flickering and then went out completely. He could barely see the road but managed to pull over just in time to avoid a huge pothole that could have overturned his truck.
One horror story is when a tow truck driver was called to a desolate area late at night. As he was hooking up the vehicle, he heard strange noises coming from the woods nearby.

He quickly got in his truck and drove off, leaving the vehicle behind.
One common element is overbearing behavior. Mentors might be too strict or critical, like constantly nitpicking every little thing the trainee does.
One common element is bad driving. Some cab drivers drive recklessly, like running red lights or driving too fast. Another is inappropriate behavior.

One common element is a spooky or derelict truck. It might be rusty, with broken parts, giving an overall sense of decay. Another element is often an isolated location, like a deserted road or an abandoned lot. Strange noises also play a big part, such as creaking, screeching, or unidentifiable moans coming from the truck.

Once, a truck driver was driving on a lonely, fog - covered road at night. Suddenly, he saw a figure in the middle of the road. He slammed on the brakes but when he got out to check, there was nothing. As he got back in the truck, he felt a cold hand on his shoulder, but when he turned, there was no one. He sped away in terror.
