Help With CB Handle

...and how many 400lb fellas are called "Tiny"?

Yeah, I just smile and accept it. No point in raising a fuss with someone
you may never see again anyway.

 

My former father-in-law was called The Democrat just to bug people. I started out a Cookie Man, you know Cookie Man is better than nothing according to an old TV ad. My friend from Oklahoma was black and called himself the Toasted Okie. Monkey Farmer lived in S Texas, used to talk to him all the time. Im jsut Passin Thru.

 

Tim "Tiny" Lister.


Met a DOT cop years ago that was 7.5 ft tall. Big man. BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGG man. Nametag on his shirt said TINY. I called him "Sir"

 

OMG REDD...... I almost peed myself laughing at that..... you made my day. I want the handle Hood Jumper.... so nobody take it.

 

I'm surprised nobody really came out and said it.

Wouldn't we have to know you (or at least something about you) to give you a handle?

This being the root of one's handle, your peers find out a piece of personal information, coin a name, and it sticks.

Maybe I'm way off base though. Either way, have fun and good luck.

 

Okaaaaaaaaaaay.


Perhaps I misunderstood you? Either way I offer my heartfelt apology for whatever I've said or done to upset you to this level. I've always liked and admired you even the few times we've disagreed on something and I'm sure I'll continue.

Again.....my apologies.

 

I think I would have given you the handle of "Crazed Pointy Stick"

 

and you may call me that!

 

My handle was given to me a very long time ago by my dispatcher back when I worked for a company. Whew been a long time and it stuck in fact people use it instead of my real name.

I use to come into the terminal and pace around waiting on another load, always pestering my dispatcher for a load. Finally one day he said I was like a "Mad Dog".....it stuck. Same one for all the years I've been driving, but hey I'm an "old timer" and it was given to you back then.

 

so you never once picked up your cb mic before they "gave" you a handle? I'm just asking mb, I mean after all I'm just a newbie and have no right to even be in this industry. None whatsoever. Why I should just quite and leave it to the "old timers" who were born driving their trucks and were never newbies.

Yup that'd be the decent thing to do. why yesterday when that guy newer than me didn't know what to do I should have looked him straight in the eye and said "park your truck, you have NO right to drive that truck, NO right to a cb, NO right to even think about being a driver. Shame on me, instead I helped him pull his tandems, and then told him he was going to have to go back to the dock and get them to pull a pallet because his total weight was over limit and we could pull tandems all day long and it wouldn't fix the problem.

Yeah. I should have spit on him.

I'm done here, you old timers have convinced me I don't belong.
