4 wheelers antics

(dramatic music ends) I would love to become one of ya (if you can't beat 'em, join 'em) - but, I can barely keep 4 wheels on the road - I could really do some serious damage with 18!! (I'm definitely a danger to myself and others on the road and my rides of shame to the hospital after the firemen have peeled me out of the car attest to this).

Yours is one of the rare occupations where I could actually live where I'd like to and have a decent-paying job. Now I'm stuck in the rain 'cause it's the only place I can do what I do and make the $$ I do. No, I definitely don't have the skills required. I wish I had the ability to do what you do, but my brain is maxed out with 5 gears and a clutch - can't imagine having...well, I don't know how many your giant trucks have, but probably more than 5 speeds. And backing something like that up...well, I can barely handle backing up my Focus without making few innocent bystanders jump out of the way. And, instead of "yielding" when I should, my reaction is always to stomp on the gas and get up to warp speed like my hair is on fire. (I really do drive it like I stole it). No, I wouldn't want the suicide of my truck driving teacher on my conscience.

-- and, weird it is. I must have been really bored in the wee hours of the morning when I stumbled into this forum. (very sad - no personal life 'cause I'm always on the road). Thanks again & drive safely.

At least you know your weaknesses. We'll get you your CDL in no time! If it's your dream to be out on the open road, making a living traveling all over, learning the Interstate Highway System, then go for it!

I've seen a guy playing a mandolin in Austin - both hands on the instrument, no hands on the wheel.

Seen guys getting road head while driving in several locations.

I've also seen a girl playing with her vibrator - with the convertible top down.

Sadly its all drivers not just four wheelers, blowing the air horn at a confused driver can actually cause a weck and guess who can be blamed, let alone give some old person heart attack, stupid CMV mills don,t help ether, I never get mad when driving.

Thank you for not being an angry driver. Deja vu - I'd just posted something about a crazy horn-honking, light-flashing big truck on the forum of "General questions from the public." The replies have been enlightening to say the least.
