Funniest thing you have seen.

Dude, just get a metal coathanger, bend it straight, and stick it in the tiny hole under the lock, feel around for the flat metal bar, and push up on it. you will get into your truck faster that way!

 

There are a number of different ways of popping a lock which I won't get into here in the name of security, but it is also not commonly known that there are only 25 combinations for an ignition / door lock set. Someone in the truckstop will usually have a key that fits your door lock...

 

This last trip out I saw something that struck me awful funny. It seems up on the Eastern Seaboard there's a company called, and I'm not kidding, "Fluke Transport". It gets better. On the side of the trailer, in great big letters, it said, "If it's on time, it's a Fluke!"

 

The funniest thing I remember noticing was a driver making sandwiches on the dash while driving down the road. I first noticed the weaving of the tractor trailer, then passed on the left noticing that it was not fatigue, but maybe a tight schedule that did not allow a lunch stop.

 

There used to be a company called NBS, for No Bull $#!^, and their logo was a pictogram bull taking a dump, with a big red circle and slash through it!

 

Unless you're locked out on the fuel island. True story.

 

Before I moved to Illinios, I drove a roll-off truck in N.H. I was picking up a compactor at a transfer station, while i was loading the box, i noticed a semi that got stuck on flat ground in about 6 inches of snow. I dont remember where the truck was from but, he threw some sand under his drive tires and that moved him a little bit, so he put some more under his drives and then i guess he had extra sand becuase he threw some under his trailer tires too. guess what? did not work.

 

About 6 years ago while pregnant with my first child, I was sleeping in the bunk and woke up having to pee like there was no tomarrow. We were on I-70 west out of Columbus, OH, and I had to go now. There was no time for him to drive anywhere, so he hit the shoulder. I went between the cab and drives squatted down to pee and promptly lost my balance and rolled down an imbankment and into the open. Now it's broad daylight, and traffic is heavy. So I sat in the grass with my pants still down around my ankles and my shirt pulled down to cover my not-public parts. Well the damage was already done so I finished peeing and quickly got presentable. When I walked up to the truck, hoping that my soul-mate had not seen, opened the door and climbed up in the truck. He was laughing so hard he couldn't breath. He didn't see it happen, he heard about it on the CB.

The worst part was it was about time for us to trade out anyway, so he drove out his time, which was about half an hour and we switched. I did not stop for the next 6 hours for fear that I'd run into a driver that had seen me on the side of the road sunny-side up. It's been 8 years and my husband still laughs about it. (and tells everyone he can)

I stopped driving shorty after that. Being pregnant and having to pee every 10 minutes is not easy while being a driver.

 

I once heard a woman talking on the C.B to another driver. Just normal converstation really. Anyway she finally says "Got to go take the dog out", well right then another driver hollers of the radio....."hey missy you just leave that peanut butter in the truck". Funniest line I have ever heard.
