......and you run into another driver from your company do you go out of your way to say hello and shoot the #### for 5 minutes (or more)? Or is another company driver no different then every other driver out there?

Try to bum 10 bucks of him.
plankton, Mr Ed, ethos and 1 other person Thank this. -
I we are out of the truck together, or they happen to have some article of clothing from the company I will say hello, and maybe talk for a few minutes. But if not, no. I will not go out of my way to talk to them, since I value my privacy and time. And I want to value theirs.
RACEFAN Thanks this. -

I just nod. I don't wear the company coat/jacket so they don't know anyways

Start with secret handshake and exchange company password along with ID codes; then bum 10$.
Sniffing tandems is also acceptable.ramblingman, not4hire, WesternEmpire and 7 others Thank this. -

I stopped doing that long time ago. Majority of the time I regret starting a conversation. A lot of weirdos out there !
CargoWahgo, KiLLaZiLLa93, driverdriver and 10 others Thank this. -
I usally say hello and shoot the crap a little bit. We don't have too many weirdos that work for the company except for me
-
I will say hello or wave/nod. Talk if we are both out of the truck. I agree with Chrome, if I am in my truck or they are in theirs, that is personal space and personal time.
Unless it was when I worked for Werner, I tried to strike a conversation a couple of times at terminals or truckstops. They are the most anti social group of people I have ever seen, to include the office staff at terminals.
