    Hi,

    I'm working on a documentary that will focus on an OTR trucker and would love to hear from anyone interested in taking part. We are particularly looking for veteran drivers who are nearing retirement and have great stories, but if you just have a great story we'd love to hear from you as well.

    I should mention that this is not a reality show, it's a character study, and while there have certainly been films about drivers before, we hope to make this one different.

    If interested, please respond and we'll get in contact.

    Thanks!

    Real truckers will not be interested and those who are interested are not gonna be what you're looking for...


    And as with everything that ever get to TV about us it'll be 99% Bullsh++ or it'll never get on the air because what we really do won't hold anyonesd attention for very long unless you show some lowlife who hasn't had a shower in two months tailgating and whippin' in and out of traffic while texting and watching porn.


    C-Ya!

    So much sensitivity generated here...and the cynicism...positively dynamic! You should consider changing careers and going into politics...or trucking recruiting!:biggrin_25514::biggrin_2559:

    I told Ya I'm workin' on my sensitivity!

    I've almost got it figured out!

    But the real question is....Did I say anything that wasn't true?


    By the way, I'm runnin' for President of the United States!
    How far fetched is it...I mean after all look who got elected last time!:biggrin_2559:

    Hi everyone.

    I just wanted to specify that this is intended to be a documentary film, not TV, and definitely not some reality TV thing or one of the several movies / tv shows that misrepresent truckers. We want this to be a real story about a real person -- which is why we're looking for veterans.

    How do you know what "real truckers" will like to watch on tv? While were on the subject, what is your definition of a "real trucker"? Is it someone who has a cdl and complains about it all the time on forums? Just curious!
