I think the best one i ever heard was a guy out in the bakken who bragged he always went to this one well where you had to back down a sheer cliff face with a 100 foot drop and inches to either side of your wheels then back across a river over paving stones they laid just for that that spewed so much H2S you had to put your oxygen mask on at the river or you would die just pulling on site and that he took 8 loads a day out of there for 10 years.

One of my favorite stories is the James Younger Gang. I never went to that grocery warehouse in Northfield Mn without giving them a thought. Because of this I was watching a (pirated) video of the 2007 Brad Pitt movie about how Jesse James died. I was sitting in a truck stop somewhere in the midwest. I was watching on my old Acer laptop with headphones on. What caused me to remember this was I was laid over and bored. So I walked into the TS and was having some dinner while I watched that movie. A guy came in and was sitting slightly behind me enough that he could see my screen and asked me what I was watching. I said what it was. He said Jesse James was his great-grandpa. Naturally, this interested me a bit so I asked him who his parent was that was Jesse's grandchild. The guy did not take that question well and accused me of calling him a liar. I just placed my headphones back on and resumed my movie. I do know that there are some of Jesse's issue still around, but I also have no idea about this guy!

So my first OTR solo job, 1996, I'm at a lunch counter.
Three or four other truckers are there, too.
Another guy walks up and says, "Anyone know the time?"
Trucker 1: "Quarter a three".
Trucker 2: "Naw, ten a three".
Trucker 3: "########. It's Five past three."
They continued to argue about the time for 15 minutes, then switched to attacking each other's choice of wristwatch.Trucker61016, dwells40, truckdriver31 and 4 others Thank this. -
My father used to say if you ask 5 truckers the best way to get from Atlanta to Charlotte you will get 4 different answers and 1 will ask where is charlotte? Also reminds me of a discussion I was listening to at the Atlanta Petro about the Eastern/Central timezone in Florida. Some bozo said it did not cut through the panhandle.
