    Easy now... says I only have 5. But thats just the 5 I did OTR myself.
    Was roostercrusin' back at the ripe age of 15. Pops would hit the sleeper and put me in the pilot seat. He knew if I was messin up by the sounds of the twin 6" straights. Made lots of stops in Needles and Barstow swapping seats. Been local for a long time pre OTR and after.

    If you cant put it on your resume, then it dont count. Verifiable Experience? Not my rules, just the way it is.

    Like i said when i was trucking or working on trucks you to volvo mofo's were sitting in a office getting hassled by the boss man for looking at internet porn while poping horse ##### pills so you can beat your meat. Give me a f'in break already, now all of a sudden your big time truck drivers...... But like i said, no need in arguing over the net with a couple of old guys, yes since they are older then me they must know how to truck better too! My #$$

    I dont need to put it on a resume Sandflapper, i work for Me, Myself and, I and always will!
