    Good posts BTW.


    The professional is that guy that gets in, gets done and gets out. No fanfare, no witnesses. Good, solid driver.

    The supertrucker is the opposite. Speeding, cutting people off, jake brake blaring, loud mouth bloviating braggart. Needs the audience. He starts volunteering employment history because he is going to talk down to everyone in listening distance. He’s not a top level driver or even a tough guy. Never is.

    Most people forgot the infamous phrase " You ain t gonna believe this", I picked up a load of produce in Salinas Friday morning 6am, and I delivered to Publix in Dacula, Ga at 9pm Saturday night. I reloaded in Gainesville, GA with a load of chicken 10am Sunday morning, and was back in CA Monday night. I only stopped once for fuel, coffee, and cigarettes.

    I totally disagree with these guys saying that having a bad ### rig with chrome and chicken lights makes you a super trucker. It's all about the mentality and behavior of the driver.

    Yeah, that's some serious truckin'. But I bet you didn't do that AND have to drive through 1-2 feet of snow between Williams and Grants, AND stop by in OKC for a few hours to get busy with girlfriend #3 (and her girlfriend)

    That’s debatable, the more chicken lights then the longer it takes them after the sun has set and it’s dark for them to turn on their headlights.

    If you’ve been everywhere, done everything, and always have a story to top anyone else’s no matter what, you might be a supertrucker.

    Like @TripleSix said, the best are the ones that don’t have to compensate for undersized genitalia or whatever by bragging. Their actions, integrity, and character will speak for themselves.

    We have them in our sector of the industry for example. Again, the best drivers in our sector don’t wreck the truck and do their job so another doesn’t have to. Those are the ones that have my respect, not the ones who feel the need to proclaim their alleged military service in every third world cesspool there is.
