    That’s a supertrucker. Guy walks up and starts volunteering employment history. Whenever someone does this, he’s going to talk down to you when he’s done giving out his personal info. Some women do it too, but they have a different approach, they will walk up and start a conversation about their body parts. Fat and ugly and rocking a front butt, yet wanting to talk about her tits. Don’t you know that front butts are disgusting?

    A good Man never tells anyone that he is a good Man. A bad Man doesn’t either. If he’s telling you about how good or how bad he is, he’s lying. He’s nothing. A failure. A fake.Hates who he really is and so he read some Louis L’amour novel and now he’s going around telling people stories of espionage. What are the odds that some fat, smelly, out of breath when he walked into the room, person is a dangerous fighting machine?

    Like the time i hauled a load of Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders ... Jerry Jones gave me keys to his stadium and said his home was my home. And the offensive and defensive lines gave me there personal cell phone numbers & said if any mean truckers on truckers report.com said my story was bs to call them immediately and they would take care of those mean drivers for me.

    You need lots of experience first. You’ll need to run all types of trailers.

    Back when I was running tanks down in texas oil patch, we would run convoys to the refinery. Back then the tanks were not like todays. They could vent off the vapors. So we would go load at the condensate tanks early in the morning, then take a break for coffee and cigarettes at the diner, eat some breakfast. Then when it got hot and that stuff started making gas, we would head out down the highway. In the summer in Texas, it can be 105 degrees at 6:00 in the morning. Now the lead truck was venting gas see, then the next truck would be also, now that Was going on all down the line. The trucks behind the first two were sucking in that gas, making them run good and fast. So they could get going, then pass the first trucks and pull them along. So we keep doing this all the way to Houston, one or two trucks swapping out to lead the convoy. We would leave Abilene and be in Houston in just under 4 hours.

    Put the mic halfway down your throat so it's nice and garbled. Finish with some stupid animal sound.

    I like doing the opposite. if someone asks if I've done this before, or how much experience I have, I always tell them it's my first day. can't tell you how many times guys with less years than I have chained down my loads. show me how it's done, supertrucker...I'm here to learn.
