I have also met several drivers who own "500 acres of ranchland/200 rental properties/ a tavern and tourist motel in (insert state here)". They just drive a truck to stay busy........
I don't like ############, and I don't like people who are so afraid of silence, they can't keep their mouth shut.......

Another type that always made me laugh is the "Rambo" persona! By Rambo I mean they bully cops, their bosses, and almost everybody else. You know them when you hear this opening statement "I won't put up with that crap ----" then go on to regale anybody stupid enough to believe them with their tales of making traffic clerks cry etc. I could go on but I think most of you have met this type of person!

long story short, he didn’t come out and say drag my trailer over the car, but he sort of implied if I had to tap or lightly bump one to get traffic moving again it was in my best interests to tap the illegally parked one. It’s the city, he preferred a little scraped paint to a major traffic traffic jam I guess.
in the end I managed to wiggle my way out with the help of some pretty creative city folks without hitting anything. But that was a mess I’ll never forgettruckdriver31, D.Tibbitt, Speed_Drums and 7 others Thank this. -
One cold wintery day after making a delivery at a truck assembly plant in Chillicothe Ohio I slipped sideways a bit and wedged a highway sign between my tractor and trailer that was right up on my battery box. One of those once in a million situations that can happen. My fault 100%! An Ohio State Trooper came up behind me and looked at my situation and laughed a bit. I was in the way and traffic was backing up a bit behind me so he said break it off and go on. I said I can't because I would damage my battery box and/or the back of the tractor and fairings. It took a bit, but a DOT truck came by and they took the bolts out of the break-a-way and took the sign down. I asked the trooper if I was getting cited? He said no, but be careful next time. I took a photo of that situation and when I find it I will post it.
