    Man I totally feel you, especially night driving. My mind finds strange places and plays deceitful tricks with my eyes some nights. I look at it as my mind trying to make everything an animal or person in the side of the road. Most of my driving is off the interstate up here in Maine so there’s plenty to see and make into either at a quick glance.

    Great TPB clip btw. The amount of time I’ve spent watching and re watching that show..... lol

    A couple of years ago I would have found Trailer Park Boys stupid. But after my experience driving trucks and interacting with a different sort of person... it's hilarious. Ray's piss jugs... bubbles loves kitties and never gets in trouble for anything.. Ricky yells at everyone.. Lehey is always drunk and the wannabe cop ad his side kick never has a shirt on and is addicted to cheese burgers.

    Ray is a ######, an ex trucker and throws piss jugs everywhere and always has lot lizards in his rig. Everywhere he goes he leaves like 100 jugs. Every time someone asks him you know wouldn't it be easier to just piss in a toilet or on a tree? He just ways says.. way of the road.

    Ricky would you mind explaining to me why your dad would piss in non bio degradable containers... instead of just pissing on a tree like a normal person.

    Bubbles, its the way of the road!

    I had a really good year and spent a lot of money preparing for the downturn.

    My wife has a PhD and is called "doctor" at work, yet I make more money than she does...

    (I still call her my sugar momma, though!)

    I think I am going to give Knight Transportation a try out of Las Vegas. I also have a few classes of a PhD Program completed, but my daughter was born

    As long as we're all being full of crap here, 218000
    I'm lying
    3 years driving in. this year I worked on eielson air Force Base in Fairbanks Alaska all summer for $62 an hour driving belly dump Long Day's made tons of money, high scale davis-bacon.
    This winter has sucked worked for cheap trucking companies that want to pay anywhere from .50 pm for singles to .58 pm for doubles and it always seems like they find some way to screw you out of money they owe you on a daily basis.
    Just did my taxes I made $46,000 mostly in 3 months which is pretty bad for Alaska.
    It gets better had a company the other day MAk "that's their initials I decided not to use their name" wanted me to go to work for them and the guy told me he starts his drivers out at $0.42 a mile to run on the alcan highway through Canada. the guy was gifted he said it with a straight face he must practice in the mirror or something. Lmfao. It would be the coldest day ever in hell before I drove the alcan highway for $0.42 a mile.
