I once heard a driver on the phone talking loudly that he had to get home because he had a combat mission to fly in Iraq, mind you the guy was your typical fat slob that looked like he was incapable of flying a remote control plane. Don't forget the pros that won't get over to let you on the highway even if no one is next to them. I love the pros that relieve themselves at the fuel island, smells great in the summer time. Guys that have never heard of cruise control and have speeds that fluctuate from 55mph to 70mph. Or the pros that speed up once they see you are going to pass them then you fall back in behind them and then they slow down again. Not driver related but I get tired of the mud ducks that clog up channel 19 with their ramblings.

 

Well, I wasn't THERE.... but you know? There ARE truckers who play video games when they are at home or off duty. Many of those games are Wargame types. Maybe, he was telling a friend of his that he had to get home to fly a "simulated mission" on his XBox. I'll bet his friend knew him well enough to know what he meant.

DID YOU? :hellno:

 

Those who have walked the walk don't talk about it. They don't have to. They have a big neon sign flashing over them that says "F**k with me at your own peril" if you take time to notice. The guy in the bar bragging about all his special, secret missions and covert training? poser.

 

Ah yes..... I certainly do miss ol' YOOPR!! The young PROS we have on the board today can't hold a candle to that man! :thumbsup:

 

All of the above tidbits are great advice for showcasing the professionalism of today's truck driver....................

If I might add however. Any task is best accomplished when wearing a dirty, filthy, grease and urine stained 'wife beater.' The clear choice of domestic violence perpetrators on Cops is also the standard for the modern truck driver.

Drive on!

 

Did you have permission to put that picture of "REV." up there?????? :moon:

 

fat guy, sitting on his coach with a beer, looking like a homeless person?? shiiiiittt. thats a shoe in for Golfhobo.. how do you think Gary got the picture.. Him and Hobo got ripped one night and him and Mackman took the picture!! You know those guys are/were locals and semi locals in Hobo case...

 

Also, when pulling up at the pumps just enough for the guy behind you to get fuel, make you sure you pull up an additional 50 to 100 feet so the truck next to you can't swing out around you, thus clogging 2 fuel lanes.

 

If some ***clown poser claims he is a Seal, ask him what BUDS class he attended. I freakin hate posers with a serious passion. Same with bottomfeeders who claim to have been in the Marine Corps. I always ask them what platoon they graduated with and which Marine Corps boot camp they went to. (There are only two, they usually screw that up and tell me they went to some state where no Marine Corps base exists, or rattle off the name of some Marine Corps base that does not have boot).

I hate posers.




Seriously.





I hate them.

 

something else to help you look like a pro. Not sure if anybody mentioned it, but be sure you take your toiletries bag into a restroom, use one of the 3 sinks there as your own personal shower paying no mind to people who need to get around you for papertowels out of the only working papertowel machine.
