If your courier jobs take you on late night drives down the highway in certain states (like the Four Corners) you’re lucky if you’ve never had any creepy incidents occur. There are stories of people on courier jobs from way back in the days of the Pony express and horse-drawn carriages, encountering ghostly apparitions and evil manifestations to hamper those trying to make an honest living doing deliveries.
Highway 666
This highway, said to be the most haunted area in the region known as the Four Corners, covering Arizona, New Mexico, California and Utah, has an unusual record of strange accidents. There are accounts from both delivery folk on haulage and courier jobs, and ordinary motorists caught outside late. Some say it’s the name that gives people the creeps, making them edgy and making imaginations work overtime, which was why in the year 2003, the government renamed it Route 491.
Still, the quickie name change hasn’t quite helped exorcise the creepy goings-on on what is known as the Devil’s Highway. Sceptics attribute this to people’s memories- some still know it by its old name, which is why there are still many stories told by drivers traversing this route on courier jobs. Here are just a few of them.
The Evil Semi
Perhaps it’s the heat in the area, but many vehicles tend to overheat or experience flat tires on this highway. When they stop, people say that they look up to suddenly see a huge black semi about to crash into them or run them down, then disappear. (Variations on this are people who claim to actually have been sideswiped or hurt by the evil semi while stalled, before it disappears as well.) Tip: on your courier jobs, make sure your vehicles take the pre-trip vehicle maintenance check ups to avoid being stalled anywhere near the vicinity of the evil semi. Make sure there are sufficient oil levels, the tires have the right amount of air pressure, and there is plenty of water in the radiator.
The Devil’s Limo
It’s said that on Highway 666- okay, Route 491- a scary black sedan suddenly appears to ram lone drivers on this stretch of road. Different travelers feel intense fear at sunset, then once darkness falls on the desolate road headlights appear in the rear view mirror. Many speed or pull over, but the limo seems to gain on them quickly, whooshing past. When they look up, they find that there was no vehicle at all. Some say that it’s most likely a trick of the senses brought about by the desert heat- so always make sure you’re well-hydrated on courier jobs and reduce the chance of seeing Satan’s limo!
Who Let The Dogs Out?
Similar to accounts of another haunted highway in England, motorists tell of a pack of vicious, threatening dogs running alongside vehicles regardless of speed; they are believed to have been responsible for numerous traffic accidents. Said to have the power to literally shred tires with their razor sharp teeth, jump into the windows of cars and trucks then attack and maul the individuals in the vehicles, they’ve been blamed for many deaths on the road. Tip: just in case you see them on courier jobs- have the number of animal control on speed dial!

I’ve had what some may say was sleep paralysis but I think it was soehmting else.I was in bed late one night, when for some reason I woke up. I tried to move but I couldn’t. I tried to speak but I couldn’t. My eyes were still working fine and I could look around the room.Then I glimpsed that soehmting was at the end of my bed. I tried to get a better look at it but then it yelled at me, don’t you dare look at me. At that point my eyes rolled into the back of my head. Although I had my eyes open earlier, I couldn’t open my eyes again no matter how hard I tried. I was completely awake.I prayed to God to get this thing away from me and then it was suddenly gone. I could move and my eyes were back to normal. I was so freaked out that I clinged close to my husband and fell back asleep.I thought it may have been sleep paralysis but I don’t necessarily believe it was b/c of a similar experience my sister had.A few months later my sister visited us for a few weeks. She was reading in bed one evening when all of a sudden she heard someone yell get out! She heard it again, this time it was in her ear, GET OUT! When this happened, my husband and I were fast asleep and there was no one else in the house.She ended up staying up most of the night b/c she was so freaked out.I’ve also woke up to soehmting tapping me on the shoulder. I lay there completely awake feeling this finger tapping me. I was so scared that I couldn’t react. I just ignored it and moved closer to my husband and tried to fall back asleep.I’ve had a few other random experiences, but nothing as scary as those.
