Trans Am Still

A trucker can be a he or a she, tall or short, overweight or skinny as a rail, pet lover or not, bald or young, happy or angry, English-speaking or not, black or white, this or that, yes or no, up or down, PhD or high school educated, and more. Or less.

Like anyone else, truckers span the grand gamut of humanity and are as diverse as the trucks they drive. Or wish they did.

 

^ ^ ^ Same vice as mine, Pete, to some extent. I like chocolate candy and Swiss Rolls..., mmm!
Good point, DenaliDad...truckers come in all shape and sizes, etc. Pete, I betvit would be something to behold, sitting at a truck stop and watching various truckers come and go. I have observed them some, when I go to our rinky dink local truck stop where George parks his truck during home time. Yep! Interesting for sure!

If you mainly eat food from the truck, good for you! I usually send about 15 or 16 homemade frozen meals with George each time he goes out. We went to Walmart to buy Gatorade and snack food in hopes of limiting spending money to eat at truck stops, etc. A lot of money gets blown on food that way.

 

JungHo , are most truck stops ok with someone leaving their truck there while on home time ?

Does he have to pay anything ?

 

Currently in east st. louis at the pilot. I did have to deal with all the rain this morning but it workout fine. I will be heading to ohio in the morning. Hopefully after dropping this load i can go home. Did you guys know that the scale tickets are $10.50 now.

 

Our local independent truck stop, Hood's, has no problem with the King dropping his trailer there for a few days. He has never had to pay, and they have security guys that are constantly running around checking on any cars that go in and out. I think it all depends on the area that you are in, dennisroc. A larger metropolitan area where parking is at a premium may have a problem with it.

I forgot rule number one of dealing with politicians. If you ask them to check into something for you they will expect a favor in return. Another phone call ....this one to tell me that my help was needed on a project at a later date.....sigh....All politics are local.

 

I did know that they went up, melo. Did they go up on a re-weigh also?
From what I have heard today Ohio DOT is very active this week.

 

I did not see that truck number just a driver that it was his first time there so that couldn't have been George.

 

I have no idea. Too many types out here. Young old short tall fat skinny. I am 6'3" about 250 with a shaved head and no facial hair. Maybe a little scruff on my face from time to time. I shave my head about 2-3 weeks and I wear a STL ballcap.
