I love that avatar Tbox. Can someone make that happen for me? I'll be your BFF.

[Mrs. Mad Crapper]

I had to beg and do dirty favors for Daphne for weeks to get my avatars up so I'll be no help there. I'm sure if you're in the mood for a good whipping and licking her stilleto boots clean she'll help you too.

Pd, I`ve resized and cropped the picture to the avatar size allowed.

Thank you. I'll work on it as soon as I finish yelling at all my drivers for stupid things they did last night.

It's a daily ritual.

[daphne]

TBox, that's a great pic.

[prarie doggin]

Thank you Daphne, or whomever got it up for me (that didn't sound right).

It sums up my working career.

[Poothagoras]

It is a great picture.

Thank you. I'll work on it as soon as I finish yelling at all my drivers for stupid things they did last night.

Such as? I yelled at a tanker for 20 miles yesterday as he hogged the left lane trying to pass a JB truck. Unfortunately I was in my car, so I had no way of telling him how I felt.

Thank god my Pete is governed at 75.

I was thinking more like "BTW, that empty trailer you took from the yard to the customer? Did you happen to look inside to see if it actually had a roof?"

Perhaps my most commonly used rant: "Please, I can manage to look stupid all by myself. I don't need your help."

"Please, I can manage to look stupid all by myself. I don't need your help."

Pd I would like to use this when my employees need it,do you mind? I will give all credit to you of course.

[prarie doggin]

Feel free my friend. I realize there are far more stupid people on the planet than I can possibly yell at in my life time.

[loaf pincher]

I only have a dozen or so to yell at but it is an around the clock undertaking to get it all done.

[Jack Schitt]

Thank god my Pete is governed at 75.

Just be happy you aren't in good ol' CA, where a lot of our trucks are governed around 62. Fucking California laws! LA to Oregon takes awhile at 55. A left lane in a truck around here will almost end in castration.

By the way, nice avatar PD.

[tuba cheeks]

Yep, now that all the major trucking companies are governing the trucks at 62 or so to get "green" credits from the fads- er, I mean feds, this will become the norm. Since most big rigs will be governed within 1 mph of each other, it'll take an act of Congress and 10 miles to pass each other... Oh, and Dodge: THANK YOU! for not having a cb in your car. Believe me- we hate being stuck out in the passing lane as much as you. Bitching and cussing someone out fot it on the air will only cause problems. That driver would most likely:
A) simply turn off his radio and keep driving, or
B) Give it right back to you- with interest, or
C) slow down and take even LONGER to pass, or
D) Brake check time!!

I yell at my windshield all the time. Even hit the horn on occasion. I never grab the mic and run my mouth, though. That just makes you look like a hot head. Plus, you have no real idea who is driving that vehicle... My favorite is when a car or two are both being stupid, and another motorist looks at me, points at the dummies, and laughs. Yesterday, as a matter of fact, I was waiting to turn left out of a side street on to a busy main road, when two cars slowed down from opposite directions, both wanting to make a left turn. They pulled up almost even with each other- both blocking the other- and just sat there, not knowing what to do... Meanwhile traffic was backing up behind them in both directions. The motorist behind one of the drivers was waving at me and making retard gestures at both cars, laughing all the while. I just raised my hands in an "I have no idea" gesture. I WAS in Florida, so surprise surprise...

If you drive a truck, California just plain sux any way you look at it. Between the rabid pit bull DOT, and the "trucks are to blame for all on the road problems" mentality of the majority of the voting public- if you fart too loud, you can most likely get a ticket for hundreds of dollars. Ever wonder why truck parking is so spotty, in many parts of Cally? ( even though mosr freight moves through there than most places) Because many town have zoning laws that specifically exclude any truck stops from being opened there. " Oh, boo-hoo. trucks make noise!!, The drivers are human and need to answer calls of nature! (gasp! oh the horror), they're BIG, and they drive and manouver slow!! They, Gasp, burn FUEL!!!, oh woe is me- BAN THEM!!! NO RIGS in MY town!!!" Yep, great solution there- force those pesky drivers to either park on off-ramps, or simply keep driving- no matter how tired and fatigued they are... I want MY family to share the road with an over tired, punchy guy driving an 80,000 pound missile!!

[Artful Dodger]

tuba, you know what they say about California, right? If you got rid of all the fruits and nuts, the only thing left would be the flakes.

Believe me, I give truckers all the respect I can when I'm on the road in my 4wheeler. I'm running a local route right now to make up for lost income due to the crappy economy, so I know what it's like behind the big wheel. In this particular instance though that driver was just fucking with me. The only traffic on that stretch of road was those two trucks and me. I had signalled my intention to pass before he ever entered the left lane and cut me off, and when I finally did get past him and settled down going 70, the sob tried to pass me again.

I don't have a cb in my car for the very reasons you mention. In fact I rarely turn on the one in the truck, as lately it's just drivers bitching or talking about pussy.
