    You can always tell if a driver around you in traffic has had some driving experience in trucks/trucking. They conduct themselves totally different than other drivers.
    This one really gets me. I find it hard to believe that any adult these days hasn't interacted with trucks/truckers at some point, known a trucker or something like it enough to get a clue how to share the road with us.
     
    Lumper Humper, Boondock and D.Tibbitt Thank this.

    And they get you a “we have already delivered here with a 53 footer” to play on your ego.

    When you call the receiver for final mile information, if they say “ You can’t miss us”
    You will miss them.

    no matter which line you pick it will always be the wrong line.. pick this fuel line, no wrong choice, fatso is inside buying mcdonalds or taking a shower with his german shephard.. pick this cash register line behind the lady with only 1 item, no wrong choice. shes going to buy 50 lottery tickets and 2 packs of ciggarettes while digging coins out of her purse and doesnt know where her ID went... dont see anybody in line at the shop, lets go inside and get a oil change. no wrong choice, theres an 12 hour wait and 6 techs sitting around doing aboslutely nothing... great after all that now i have to take a ####. no sorry wrong choice, all the crappers are taken by guys playing games on their phone...welcome to trucking

    worst one is actually being able to put a face on the guy that exploded in the toilet.

    Ie, you walking into the bathroom as the guy is leaving the stall and you walk in after and walk right out, because your hole said to your brain “I ain’t opening up in there no way no how, I can hold the pressure for another 10 hours.”

    and now you see the guy walking around and buying more truck stop food as you get your coffee.
