What makes you feel like a bad ### in trucking?

Never seen 5 axles on a lowbed like that. I'm not even sure that's legal in this part of the world. Interesting. Pin on?

 

Emergency move I do not require any permits. I carry annual permits for all the surrounding states.

 

For me it's that nod of respect you get when people pass me and see my bare foot up on the dash. You just know they wish they could do that.

 

I mean after the bump, lift, and slow glide across the 5th wheel.

I can't remember ever high-hooking. But I sure as heck remember having the 5th being scraped by the kingpin and then getting out only to see that the kingpin is front of and just below the 5th wheel plate. ####! ####! ####! Game over!

 

When someone tailgates me and I don’t have to give a #### because I got 53’ of trailer behind me.

I always get very uncomfortable when being tailgated in a car.

 

I gotcha. I used to do heavy haul in the Houston area for a local company there. I loved it. There is heavy haul in the area where I live now, but they don't pay anywhere near as good and want more hours throughout the week. In Houston I could regularly make $400+ for the day in my pocket before lunch. It was a really sweet gig.

 

Take the average driver…the way he thinks, his dress and mannerisms.Thinks he is intelligent and wants to argue and debate what he saw on the news. Walking around on the phone with that headset on, talking when he should be listening. Hotheaded and foul when pissed off. Easily controlled. Everything screams VICTIM. Like a fat fish flopping around out of water.

Want to be better than average? Study stoicism. Calm your fat arse down. Bathe. Dress better. Be well mannered, shows that your mom actually liked you. Don’t ever argue about anything you saw on TV, that’s plain stupid. Speak only of what you know is true. Listen with the goal of understanding, whether you agree or disagree is irrelevant. Be respectful and demand respect. Say less. Bad@ssery begins with self control. Stay dangerous.

Six back quiet.
