    ok, this really struck me funny bone, don't know bout anyone else though. I was driving through downtown dayton on I75 SB on a sunday morning and noticed flashing discos ahead so I assumed I needed to move to middle lane to get out of the way which I did, well when I got closer I realized those discos were at the get-on ramp for the north bound side but the cop did not have someone pulled over, he had his hands on his waist as if he did not know what to do cause there was a goose standing there on the top of the ramp it was like a real life "face-off" it struck me funny:biggrin_25523:

    I used to drive a boxtruck, doing deliveries of avon to people's homes. Once in the Thumb of MI, I was rolling along about 70 mph, when I realized there was a very slow county mountie coming at me. So I slowed down, and found him following a dog down the road. apparently, every time he would get out to try and grab the pooch, it would take off!

    I also saw a pair of goofballs (during my dumb and dumber time with Covenant, these guys were the epitome of that name) that had dropped a loaded trlr, and hooked to an mt. Well, they had no trlr lights. When I told them about it, they checked it out. Well, the one guy couldn't figure it out and called me over. Come to find out, that when they hooked to the MT, he pulled the pigtail out of the tractor and hooked that end to the trlr, leaving the other end hanging there! Needless to say, when I laughed uproriously in his face, he was not pleased!

    Once while traveling through the great state of Ohio we were discussing how to fix a "dog legging" trailer. A new driver was explaining how his trailer was "dog legging" really bad. Well a couple of other drivers that were running with us decided to tell this new guy that he needed to drop his trailer and hook up to it again because he had hooked up crooked. This new driver flew into a rest area, and we all laughed down the highway. Well later that day after a fuel stop and lunch we meet that same new driver going down the road. He kept hollering for us on the CB. I asked him how it worked for him, and his reply was "It worked great!". He said he dropped his trailer, re-hooked, and ever since then his trailer hadn't "dog legged". I nearly fell out of the seat laughing. We road down the road for a while after that cutting up on the radio. Good times my friend, good times.

    Disclaimer- Dropping and hooking a "dog legging" trailer will not fix it.:biggrin_25523:

    I had this in an earlier post but its funny enough to repeat it. We saw a werner driver in the middle of a parking space at an indiana toll road service area in just his bvds and shoes and a cowboy hat,walking frantically around his werner truck,on further examination we knew what had happened,he got to piddle and locked himself out of his truck,it was funnier when a newbee asked on the cb,why did he do his pretrip in his underwear,we all had a good laugh that day,it was cold and in the winter,poor guy.

    One of the many reasons I actually LIKE a volvo, without a key, you can't lock yourself out!

    I remember once riding along talking with another driver, when he mentioned he had to peel off the road, 'cause his passenger was sick. Well, I get around him as he's heading for the ramp, when I see vom EXPLODE all over the pass side window, and down the door! YUCK!

    I was out one night hauling bulls and kept seeing chickens on the edge of the rd. The guy running behind me said he never saw one and I should pull over. They must have flown off as I went by.


    I was in Evanston Wyoming and it was mid afternoon. A lady driving a Peterbuilt got bent out of shape because some truckdriver said she belonged in the kitchen w/5 kids. He called her a man and she pulled up to the pump oppisite me and yanked up her blouse and said, "Do I look like a man to you" I was so shocked I fell out the door but I had to agree, she were'nt no man!:biggrin_25515:

    Something similar happened to me.....but involved what I thought was a bunch of skinny beavers wearing hockey jerseys, but as it turned out, they were Mile Posts.:biggrin_2552:

    I was a dumb bullhauler out of OKC and we ran for Wilson packing hauling fat cattle from the panhandle of TX-Ok and KS. In the spring we'd haul feeder cattle back out and then be in Bovina or "Amarillo by morning" ( Boy that sounds like the title to a good song!!) Anyway, I was going to Phoenix AZ on 60 hwy around 3 AM and coming into the
    E edge of the Salt River Canyon. Suddenly, walking right on the berm was a woman, swinging her butt and I did a panic stop and opened the right hand door. She went ""MOO"". It was a white face cow, I'm serious but I sure thought it was a woman. I laughed so hard at myself I had to lay over the steering wheel and moan. :biggrin_25514:

    I was in IL on I-80 just about to cross into IA and I came up behind 2 State Troopers that where chasing a cow down the west bound side. The cow just would not leave the pavement. I rolled along at about 5 mph (or what ever a cow runs at) for a little over a mile until it turned and charged threw a fence

    My favorite was on thanksgiving a couple years ago. Due to a shipper that couldn't get me loaded right over the course of a couple days I was stuck in a little truck stop in NC. I was on the phone with my family telling them how sorry I was I couldn't be there and that there was nothing i wanted more that to be there.. ..you get the idea.. ..i was kissing major but to make sure I would still have a warm place to sleep... Then out of no where 2 Swift trucks coming from separate ends of the truck stop came around a corner and hit head on right in front of me. Then got out and proceeded to yell and scream at each other. I dropped the phone I was laughing so hard.
