 What was the first truck you drove? Ok gotta ask. What was the first truck you drove and who taught you how to drive it? Mine was a C60 Chevy with a 5 on 2. My step dad threw me the keys and said "Move it!"

Who "taught" me how to drive it? Hmmmmmm I'd have to admit that I'm still a work in progress. Quote:
Git 'er done. When I worked for a Horseshoe factory (Thoro'bred Racing Plates) in Anaheim, Cal. -- the owner bought an old SoCal Edison Mack, with the front brake disable switch on the dash -- and a flat bed trailer with automatic landing gear, which he couldn't figure out how to drive it or back it. While trying to back it, with NO success -- he exited the Mack in a huff. Cussin' and swearin' I give UP! YOU park the dad-burned POS -- to another employee. That employee didn't want to attempt it, so he said, "Go for it, Art." I did. And within a couple of tries, I got 'er done. The employee said, "You oughta be a Big truck truck driver, Art." Not too long afterwards, while driving around my home-20, I noticed a sign being erected. MTA Truck Driving School.  I parked and went right in and talked to the folks there. The very next day, I went back with several thousand bucks -- CASH -- and became the FIRST student to sign up.  The rest is history.  And the wonderful world of Big truck truckin' was changed forever.  It's twue! It's twue!  |
