My wife doesn't say much anymore, I get too pissed off, that's one thing that really annoys me is backseat drivers. Here's what I say to them "Who's driving this truck me or you?"

I must admit I have what I like to call an "Interstate foot". I drive interstates almost everday so if my mind wanders while I'm driving on some back roads, I've caught myself doing 60-65 before. ops:

 

If she doesn't like how you drive then tell her to stay off the sidewalk. My wife also hates how I drive. We go to Ga. for Christmas every year and she has to beg me to stop so she can go to the bathroom. A truck driver just gets used to not drinking a lot of liquids so that you can actually get somewhere and only have to stop when you need to. It could be trying to make all left hand turns. Maybe she wants to travel farther then around your block. 3 lefts make a right, I wanna go home.

 

When I used to race karts competitively, I'd step into my 4-wheeler and drive like a saint. The weekend after I stopped racing, I got a ticket for a 40 in a 25-oops! This was a long time ago, but anytime I finish up pulling a 45k load and get into my dakota, down goes the foot to the floor, and I go "oh damn!"

 

Being that you are from New Jersey she could be right :lol: Just kidding :P

 

Haha I can relate with the Jake comment. I've had times where I've been going down a hill or something and traffic slows down and I take my foot off the gas in my car and wonder why the hell I'm not slowing down....

 

I'm not even a driver yet, I have two more weeks of school before I get my CDL. I find myself searching for the clutch in my automatic. I step on it at least a couple of time before I realize it is just an automatic. Today I found myself taking wide turns. Good practice, I guess.

 

Now that's funny,don't forget the box of wine

 

when i am on hometime, i find myself grabbing for the non-existant cb in my mazda, and when i park it, i always reach for the yellow knob heh and it feels like i am driving a tinker toy, kinda different going from kenworth to mazda protege haha

 

I tell people that after driving a Truck most anything with 4 wheels feels like "Fisher-Price my first vehicle"
