Lot lizard is sexual slang used by truckers to refer to prostitutes who work at truck stops. Lot lizards will generally go from truck to truck offering sexual services to truck drivers. They may also use CB radios to find potential customers.
The term had been in use for many years before it was popularized in novels starting in the 1990s.
A Wired magazine profile on trucker culture discussed lot lizards:
