So, you want us to believe that on the freeway, you turn off your C.B. and say screw everyone behind me. But, at the fuel island your courteous and thinking of your fellow driver...
Jubal Early Times Thanks this. -
Its not really about being courteous it's about safety. Being out of the lane everybody uses to merge is the safest option if we can't be in the far left through cities.
I leave the radio on, but otherwise yes. I have jumped twice guys who didn't carry cables. One of which was on the radio asking at a closed weigh station. Are you wanting a full life story with all my good deeds and bad or what?Last edited: Jun 28, 2023

That’s fine by me, like today I just set back and watched the show and have done so at the truck stop many times when a driver followed someone in and gave them an old fashioned eye opening. Don’t condone it but so far haven’t ever seen anything when asked by the PD.Oxbow Thanks this.

No you didn't. Your last two stories have been such obvious fabrications that even a seasoned waitress at a counter working the slow shift would roll her eyes.
It does make me wonder though, why is it we all hear these big stories about fights at truck stops but we so rarely ever see them ourselves. In over four years I have yet to see two truckers actually fighting. I've seen a few arguments no actual fights. But all I ever hear is angry people yelling into the aether on the radio or online. Maybe truckers fought more in like the 80s idk. -
Well I have been out here for a long time. 46 years more than you!
As for fabrication? I might not be the best with grammar or describing things but I assure you after 50 years you will have seen some things and some young fool will certainly think your full of it and you won’t care just as I don’t.
By the way the only name calling was done by the blocker. The other guy asked nicely if he could make way. Something I don’t bother to do much because most boneheads don’t have or have them turned off.Last edited: Jun 28, 2023

Maybe it's time to hang up the keys old timer. Lol, jk I don't buy that you're pushing 70 years old either. Anyway, we've gotten way off topic here so I'm going to let it go. If you have anything beyond "you're going to get beat up" to add that might change my mind then feel free to share it.Big Road Skateboard Thanks this.
