    I ran over something at a shipper and plugged a tire to go seven miles to a loves. They wouldn’t patch it because I plugged it. Said it compromised they integrity of the tire. I said screw it and ran it out like that.

    They tried to screw you. It's very common with big Truck supp chain tire shops. That was probably the same loves that tried telling me its illegal to run a set of duals with the tread being more than 4/32nds difference.

    Welcome to the world of truck drivers.

    It starts out my shvantz is bigger than yours because I make more money.

    Then it goes to my benefits are better.

    Then it goes to I'm not out on the road that much.

    Then I'm home every night.

    Then I drive 110" sleeper truck with one case of pop bottles in the back, only down hill.

    I've only recently considered health insurance.

    For my entire adult life, my regular physician has been whomever was attending the emergency room when I went in.

    That's enough money saved to pay for my brain transplant when I need it.

    If you're healthy and single, or the wifa has a yob, why bother?
     
    UturnGirl Thanks this.

    Ding ding ding hey u turn girl. 120 pages you win the prize. Btw do you mo why you had to use I turn "girl"? Cause I took the handle uturn way back in 90 something. When this site was still new. Think they were still trr.net at the time. And I had a brand new 486 computer at the time. Ya i no no ne cares, but us old people like to tell the back in the day stories

    Ah..glory days. Traffic announcer in Nashville used to be called Uturn Laverne. I was given the handle Uturn early in my stint with Schneider a bunch of us were pretty close for awhile. I expanded it to UturnGirl because uturn isn't long enough for most user id's plus I like how it sounds. Anyway..nice to meetcha UturnGuy.
