    I haven't heard this particular story before, but I have seen articles about it. In fact, I think I've seen something about it here in the forum.
    Whatever, it would be interesting to see a doubter actually go find a bull moose, and give him a blow job. Er I mean tootle the air horn at him. And if he does charge, then tootle the air horn vigorously!*



    *Tootle the horn, and tootle it vigorously is taken from the manual of an old Yamaha that I owned for a bit.

    I try to Toole my horn at least once a day.

    *Tootle taken from an Adam and Eve catalog I keep around for...uh...reference. Yeah, that's the ticket.

    I'm so old now I've given up trying to Toole my horn and have resorted to just plain old tooting...

    Man, what a week I had. The short runs are great for higher revenue per mile, however, there's a lot of work that goes into stringing a series of 5 to 6 together in a week. Not too mention the additional planning, paperwork etc, that goes with it.

    I was under a total of 7 loads from Sunday to Friday...

    I have to dial that back and remember that I'm a semi-lazy windshield licker ;-)
     
    Airborne, Oxbow, Big Don and 4 others Thank this.

    That's better than a regular window licker. At least you get out of the seat instead of licking the driver's side window.

    Yeah, yesterday I even did a driver assist load. 22 pallets of perlite delivered to all the pot farmers in southern Oregon.

    What constitutes "driver assist"? Pallet jack to the back?
