    I drive a Peterbilt, so you won't even see me when passing, just 2 arms holding a wheel LOL....

    I never look at a truck passing me cuz i tend to veer towards the way I am looking. Only time I wave at another driver is when on a 2 lane road and I pass a truck going the other way, then I always wave and almost always recieve a wave back unless it's a canadian. For some reason their arms don't raise up??? I think it's because they have their headsets in the way tho

    I can never see the point of peeking in someone's truck while parked. Usually when I catch people staring at me, I would wave to the person only to have them quickly turn their head away from me. Forget about waving at me because I'm going to start taking pictures of yous. :biggrin_25517:

    If you take a photo of me, be sure you catch my good side.

    I think most of the peeking over at other trucks is done at truck stops, rather than on the road. Trying to figure out who it is doing all the trash talk on the CB radio, trying to get a look at the driver of (insert company name here, but you can figure it out) who took what seems like an hour to back into an easy spot, or else the lazy porker who pulled straight into one, and can only take five or six steps before having to stop and catch their breath on the way to the truck stop in order to fill their 55 gallon drum of coffee or soda (if, by some miracle, they're not parked in the fuel island).

    I always look and smile or wave. Nobody else cares about us all we have is each other. And NO I'm not gay.

    look all you wish, but be forewarned that I drive NAKED sometimes.

    LOL

    As for waving......

    I did the little "beauty queen wave" for the past 3 weeks while in my trainers truck.

    He asked why, and I told him they won't remember me but may his truck, and they will think it was HIM doing it and assume he was the fairy princess.

    LOL
