    I’m inclined to think he was lined up next to dumb door slammers parked at odd angles, and then they all left.

    This is because dopey reefer drivers and door slammers were parked before him - (they’re all lazy) - whilst the hardworking flatbed driver was still working. Because that’s what we flatbed drivers do. We work. Like men. Real men.

    The sleeveless shirts are needed because our bulging biceps destroy sleeves. Naturally we make a lot of left turns, so we have an affinity toward our NASCAR heroes.

    Well - enough of this. I have large stacks to polish, and a bigger echo board to install.

    If I catch you Namby Pamby box pullers taking pics of this heroic flatbed drivers’ sweet ride again, I’m calling the US Marshals.

    I've noticed more people with no parking ability drive someone else's truck, it doesn't have straight pipes in fact they whine about the people who do, they don't have a cb so you can't tell them about that accident three miles down the road, they walk around looking like they just crawled out of bed, they think golf is a sport, and they measure everybody's dick and ball size for some reason.

    My first thought was he is a lazy turd, but the tarp job looks too good to have been done by a lazy person.

    I would consider the possibility that he gave himself some extra room to fix the tarp/straps/etc. granted, i would have straightened the truck out afterwords but... not everyone is as perfect as me :p

    Good. Remind me to call you next time I have to pallet jack seven 2800 lb chemical totes to the back of the trailer. ;)

    I too was impressed by the tarp job. I’ll often congratulate other real men on their work - by telling them they did a great job of wrapping their package.

    Unless I’m busy with an emergency. Like the other day I had to take a poor door slammer to the emergency room that had broken one of his fingernails closing his latch.
