This brings me back to my CRST days.
My favorite story was a female in her late 20's or so I met in their Fontana yard that said she owned 4 trucks pulling for Prime but chose to be a company driver for CRST so she would have the time to do all the bookkeeping for her 4 trucks. Not sure how running team gives you more time to do paperwork then solo in your own ride. She also said her family owned ALL of the 76 gas stations in the US. -
One time I had to make a delivery to an island in Lake Michigan. The truck wouldn't fit on the ferry so I made a big giant raft out styrofoam insulation & some railroad ties and had the ferry tow it with a big cable. On the way there, a sudden storm picked up and the ferry ended up sinking, but since my raft was made of styrofoam, it didn't sink. In fact, the cable that was being used as a tow line ended up holding the entire ferry boat just below the surface until the Navy was able to arrive with a big crane attached to an aircraft carrier.
Rubber_Duck and Freebird135 Thank this. -
Minivans, I want to both thank, and remind you here!
First off, thank you for saving the lives of all of those folks on the ferry!
Second, don't forget to go to confession on Sunday. Even if you are NOT Catholic!
Giggles the Original and I_HATE_MINIVANS Thank this. -
Get a roll of toilet paper and place it down near them.
Motion with your hand for them to help themselves.
If they look confused , take some and say "like this" while pretending to wipe round your mouth. -
Doubt many Werner drivers would understand.

That's nothin! I am such a Super Trucker I once pulled a van, refer, tanker, and a skateboard at the same time!
Old C.L. Werner himself said it couldn't be done so after I delivered that load I marched right into his office and socked him right in the mouth! Well right then and there he wrote me a blank check and told me to fill it out for however much I thought I deserved!JimBad Thanks this. -
What a line of crap!
Everyone knows the only way to hold together two 53' tlrs is with expandable dryer vent tubing and duct tape.
You know what they say....
The difference between a Cowboys Boots and Truckers Boots is that a Cowboys boots have the BS on the outside.Freebird135 Thanks this. -
I_HATE_MINIVANS Thanks this.

I invented the flying 18 wheel drive, nuclear powered folding-wing flying truck. There's inflatable air bags inside the trailer to secure the freight during aerobatic manuevers. My company hasn't had a late delivery since that thing made it's maiden flight.
