Alaska Boy

OK then, there ya go.

 

Don't let the idiots on the CB distract you from being a driver.There are morons in every business, which I am sorry to say includes trucking.I use the CB when I need it for weather or traffic or if someone sane might want to bs.Trash talk is common,try a different channel or shut it off.Trash talk ,just like internet talk is annonymous.Trash talk drivers don't have the balls to identify themselves,their truck or company just like internet posters do.Like others have said,don't let a few idiots change your opinion on trying to get into this profession.Take the idiots out of the equation and you have some decent drivers left.

 

LOL well I remember driving down I-75 in Georgia once and it stunned me how quiet it was and thought to my self "is my radio broken or is everyone just not saying anything to day?" So I decided to see what was going on. I started out by talking like I was a foreigner from over seas (Arab) and when I got done saying stuff about how American drivers were so disrespectful to other, or their over weight from eating to much McDonald's, or if this was my country they wouldn't have their wife's walking besides them. Boy o Boy did the radio come alive. I was called ever name in the book, called a sand N@$*& was threaten with being shot by a ex sniper who was also a Navy Seal LOL I laughed so hard I nearly wet myself.

 

That is hilarious, doubledragon5 Up in my state of North Dakota you might hear something on the CB once in a great while, but otherwise you could spend the whole day in and around the state and not hear anything. Most of the farmers here use channels 12 or 10.

More on the topic, I keep my radio on all the time, just keep the volume low until I hear something interesting. When you're away from the big cities it's not too bad.

 

I did the same thing here recently and got the same response. I was following one of our drivers who started in on me as well. When I finally told him it was me he called me a jack ###, and started laughing.. I keep mine on sometime, but no all the time, mainly if there is a lot of unusual traffic..

 

Boy18..

I started a long missive here.. and decided to thrash it all.

Myself, I'd stay in Alaska. But then, I'm not 18, and I've been antisocial my entire life. I dream of retiring where I can't see my closest neighbor's lights even on a dark night. Lived coastal AK for 9 years.

But - that's me. I'm experienced enough in life to be grumpy, surly, and generally sour. I loved AK because nobody bothered me unless I needed help. And I wasn't expected to pee in anybody else's wheaties unless THEY needed help.

Don't let a plague of alimentary orifices on the radio keep you from chasing a dream. It's too petty an issue to worry about. Worry instead, about the moron in the 4-wheeler who will cut you off just to make an exit he's known about for the past 20 miles, clipping your front end and sending him into the ditch. Then having the chutzpah to sue YOU and your company.

The radio is only noise.

 

I reread my post, I guess i was being a bit harsh............Lets say you choose to visit California............Before you get going in line to Hollywood............Check out these Hotspots..............PalosVerdes Cliffs about 20 mins from LAX will give you a great viewpoint............Great View of Catalina Island and the coast on a clear day that is.......Venice Beach is where the excitement is on the Weekends (Drum Circle/With Belly Dancers and the like, With Definate Police Presence, Yeh Venice Beach is still California's #1 Tourist Spot......Don't stay to late though, somebody might mug you........Last I checked the Ceo over at Disneyland is still Hiring Pandhandlers, while he makes 200 Million a year, or something close to that............But somepeople must see Donald Duck, so forget the Ceo....I'm sure they still have fair games, so you can play pin the head on the Donkey or something for fun, plus the rides, you could possibly get stuck on...........and if you do, its so much fun being stranded in midair with news chopers circling you...........but thats right Mickey will chear you up....Just don't tip the Ceo he's paid for a few lifetimes.........
Northern California might be fun for you, Redwoods, Bears, Mtn. Lion, Elk, Bald Eagles.......If you do the trails, Bring a walking stick, some animal pepper spray, human pepper spray doesn't work on animals, they have no tearduct......Be carefull on that one could mean life or death.....and a Camera never know what you might run into.......Hillary could be getting ready for Hibernation.....
California's got tons of stuff for you to see, but you'll be stuck in traffic alot......So plan your trip wisely.............when your in California,If you want to be somewhere try to leave aroound 3 a.m. or so.......That will leave plenty of time to get there..........

Me I'd Rather see Canada, but i've lived here my whole life, so you know how that goes........Best of Luck.......

p.s. Celebrities panhandle tooo.....Ask Ed McMahon/Evander Holyfield.......No matter how much money one has somebody else is after it............

 

Just a query - - when did Canada annex Alaska?

 

oh seem to combined a couple posts i see...............Alaska, Canada same thing...........Maybe little colder.........Yeh Alaskan come to California you'll get a kick out of it all...........it rains bout 3 times a year in the Southern Part.......alot more up north...........Might need a passport, and few Visa cards you'll be straight.....


Question Alaskan: You been on the rails in Canada or Alaska?
