if in downtown memphis, buy an el cheapo hound ticket to forrest city (two reasons: its damn near impossible to hitch out of downtown memphis, and WM is such a crackhotown, that its not worth the hassle.(+ at forrest city, you are PAST the 24/7/365 scales on i-40.

North Little Rock exit 161 (Galloway)--I think there are three truck stops there. A busy hub.

Yes there are three truck stops in north little rock. I believe there are also a few more in forrest city as well

[dustydreamer]

hey there is also a pilot in Russellville, AR
and a couple in Conway, but I'm not sure of the names.

Downtown Memphis is a free bus over to the dog track in West Memphis, Arkansas. You can get off right by the truck stop and hitch from there.

I have hitchhiked through Memphis a number of times. Virtually every time I went through Memphis, someone would say, "Don't ever get dropped off in downtown Memphis; either get dropped off on the east side or the west side because it is safer."

One time I got dropped off on the west side of Memphis and I had to walk all the way across that big bridge that spans the Mississippi River. I think it is the longest bridge I have ever walked across.
