    1.I have a "grease" fetish , Everytime I'm stopped for long periods of time at a customer,and nothing to do- Im under the truck hitting every nipple.Some times twice a week
    2. stopping for fuel- If its not my "Regular" stops..I Don't flip over the highway- Only Right turns off the exit.
    3.Every time I open the Drivers Door to get out, An Empty water bottle and candy wrapper hits the ground
    4.When I tarp a load.....And I'm bungeeing...I Always scream, "Your the Devil" Because I'm convinced bungee straps do everything OPPOSITE you want them to.
    5.I'm thatr guy driving the "old" Truck in the right lane doing 55.....But I'm also that guy in the right lane that will give you the shirt off my back and buy you dinner if we get to talkin' on the radio.

    When I had my shop, I bought a military bomb loader. It was handy as a shirt pocket around the shop, think big jack. lol
    Anyway it had little 12 inch boat trailer looking tires, except they held 130 pounds of air, 1 on each corner and the thing was rated to carry 6,000 pounds, and when lifting all the weight was on the front two.
    one of the front ones developed a real slow leak, and I just kept it aired up for several months, but since it was old and weather cracked I would only put 100 pounds in it. One day for some reason, I read the numbers on the tire, and IT was a boat trailer tire, some one had replaced that one tire with one that had max pressure of 32 pounds. lol
