Late last week I finished my first 30 days on the road. I haven’t hit anything, all loads on time, and frankly I’m enjoying the #### out of it. So... do I qualify for a chain wallet with a starter chain (1-2 feet long), or am I still too much of a kook?
Couple of other things. I realized truckers are the most judgmental people I’ve met. I had a tough blind-side back (6-8 get outs and pull-ups) at a TS and this old Santa Claus looking ####er in bib-overalls says to me (I was kinda proud I did it)...”well you *eventually* got it in there”. Of course I should’ve just drove around and did it sight-side, but it was the middle of the afternoon and a good time to continue to practice. Anyway, he wasn’t impressed. Nor should he be, but he still judged the #### out of me. Totally cool I deserve it.
About an hour later I’m grabbing some hot dogs and Santa comes up to me a points at my rewards card and say “you got an extra shower on there?”. I smile and say “of course”. I look at the cashier and say “I’d like to buy Santa here two showers, since no way will one be enough looking at the size of him.” Cashier tries not to laugh. Santa looks at me kinda angry and before he can say anything I just laugh. Santa finally laughs and I walk away pleased I didn’t call him a fat ####. Yeah I’m 52 years old, but i still I read and have anger issues of a 12 year old. LOL

NO. you do not yet qualify for the chain wallet ! However, in another 30 days you'll qualify for the pajama/flip flop attire, then 30 days later, you can wear sweat pants/flip flops !

There is still a chain wallet wearing a hole somewhere on me. Been wearing one since 10. (They quit laughing at 16...) I think this one would be the third one so far in my life time. They hold up pretty good. I probably see another 15 years out of it.
otterinthewater, laaylor and NavigatorWife Thank this. -
Gimmee a minute to calm down Otter. I would have twisted Santa's head off for daring to ask me for a free shower after being so rude. Blind backs are difficult at best. A successful back is one that doesn't hit anything...period.
....breathing...
Ok... Better now.
