The journey begins - purchased a truck.

Why don’t you just give the F up and go do something that nobody gives a F about?? Tried to be nice, but I can’t

 

If you don't like what I have to say, you have an ignore button right handy, feel free to use it.

 

Naw — I’ll just keep on your ### till one of your buddies bans me

 

Excellent point Blair. Does anyone remember a time many years before technology when we were much nicer to each other. Maybe a time when we were sitting across the table or bar stool from each other instead of behind a keyboard. Whether or not we admit it we did speak differently to each other when we respected someone who might throat punch us were we to get too hateful.

 

Sorry I blew up, but nobody, and I mean nobody dis’s on my boy HP and don’t get get his ### capped

 

We used to have barroom brawls and the first one to get knocked on his ### would have to buy the next round

 

That was back in the days when you went to real truck stops. Places that had "Trucker Only" sections, where you would see three, four, or more truckers sitting talking. Some had met on the CB a short time earlier, some just sat down to join in the conversation. A whole line of drivers at the dining bar talking back and forth, then meeting up in the parking lot, and heading off in different directions in groups.

I've ran into people I didn't know talking on the CB, and ended up driving across the country with them until we each had to go different ways.

Trucking used to be a lot of fun. Now it's mostly a bunch of isolated people that don't even own a CB, nor will even look at anyone else in the Pilot "truckstop".

 

You’re spot on— folks would help each other out — there’s still a little bit of it around out here, but nothing like it used to be
