Being a new driver, I see the words, "super trucker" being thrown around a lot.

I gotta ask, what is this?

I'd like to see your defintion of a super trucker.

Oh wow, a supertrucker is one of those guys (usually it could be a gal I suppose) that has an attitude plain and simple, they think they know all there is to know about trucking, they are very loud whenever they talk....to make sure EVERYONE can hear of their great exploits, they drive down the road like they own it and YOU better get otta their way, they like to tell people how far they drove like 999 miles in one day just for the fun of it, in the trucking world there is a supertrucker wardrobe (JMO here of what I have seen/expreienced) they have boots with pointy toes and silver tips, a chain hanging off their wallet, a big ol cowboy hat with a pheasants butt or rattle snake plastered to it, and they walk like they own the world, and they WILL let you know every woman they met is just in love with them and left swooning in their tracks....THEY are the best and let everyone knowit. LOL, I will spare ya the psychology of what is really WRONG with these people.

Luv that is to funny

Luv, you forgot the part about the Chicken-Lit Pete (or KW), with the 8" straights, and train horn to move the four wheelers (if the shark teeth on the grill don't). And of course, ST must do 30 mph in the truck stop parking lot, so everyone will hear his Jake at 0200!
And, to top it off, ST has himself a 'special' Connex, that he's had peaked and tuned to put out about a megawatt, so he can talk down to everyone that doesn't agree with him and 'walk on' everyone else!

LMH is dead wrong.

Those SuperTruckers don't drive 999 miles in a day, they drive over 2000 miles in a day. 'Cause they're running triple digits all the time, ya know. And they never sleep. They run six logbooks, and if some DOT guy gives them any crap, they'll just pimp-slap the shine right off of his badge and roll on down the road.

You usually see them in the arcade, or in the restaurant drinking coffee and BS'ing. You can tell the ST's, since they're the loudest and baddest dudes in there. And the only reason they're sitting is because they just made it from Seattle to Baltimore in two days, so they're winding down, of course.

They've done 95% grades grossing 300,000# in a Mack with a Triplex and no jakes while talking a newbie driver down the hill on the CB. Their blood is 85% coffee. They've been everywhere, hauled everything. They once hauled frozen aliens for Da Gubmint out of Area 51. They drink pure nitroglycerine just for the taste of it. You can only hope to be as cool as these guys. They have radios that will electrocute you right through the airwaves if you dare challenge them. They've run their 250 Cats up to 7,000 hp using esoteric ST secrets. They are Truckin' Gods.














And as you pull out of the truckstop, on your way to actually deliver some freight, you can thank your lucky stars you didn't turn out like these blowhards.

GearJammer is right, Sorry LMH, but you only described a drunk southerner.

This stuff is hilarious. I love it.

Soon I'll be one of those guys on the cb (asking for advice)
Can't wait ...
