Can I get into trucking while on a misdemeanor probation?

Nice to know at least one driver agrees with me.

 

My son isn't interested in trucking either. One more year of high school, then off to a university. It's his life, not mine, so I'll back him in whatever he wants to study.

 

Well of course he stalked her what man in his right mind would plead guilty if he knew all the police had were a few screenshots of an innocent conversation.

 

To be realistic, the 'washout rate' with new drivers is about 75% in the first year, so for 3 out of 4, it's probably good advice. Those who are NOT quitters will ignore it, and probably go on to some level of success. And when I told people that I had a plan....I DID. And I implemented it (only 2 months sooner than I had planned, thanks to a certain dispatcher who shall remain nameless.....).

Was it worth it? H-E-double toothpicks it was! If I'd stayed, I'd probably be one of those bent-over, toothless old coots you always used to meet in the driver's lounge at the truckstops, sharing stories about the time they lost their brakes going down El Cajon.....

Trucking is good when you have few other options; you make good money, but you pay a price for it. After 5 years I felt I'd gone as far as I wanted. I'd made myself financially independent, and then it was time to move up in life. I enjoyed a certain amount of my time driving, but that's all in the past now...

 

I was at the TA Laredo eating breakfast. This little guy walked in looking like a wimpy version of Tim Conway carrying a big man purse. Then suddenly, it was like the first T Rex scene in Jurassic Park, where you see the vibrations in your water glass. This crazy eyed woman who looked like the God Warrior Woman PLUS 100 lbs, punishing the earth when she lumbers, walks in and sits next to Tim Conway angrily. His whole purpose in life was to appease her and kiss her arse.

Waitress: How are you today, ma’am?

Behemothetta: OH I CANNOT STAND COMING INTO PLACES LIKE THIS. YOU HAVE ALL OF THE TRUCK DRIVERS, THESE EVIL MEN IN HERE. I DONT FEEL SAFE IN HERE. THEY MIGHT TRY TO RAPE ME. WE ARE IN AN EXPEDITED TRUCK PARKED RIGHT UP FRONT. IF I COULDNT PARK UP FRONT, I WOULD NOT COME IN HERE.

(1 cheeseburger away from weighing 1/4 ton, and she thinks every guy in here wants to go whaling. Unreal. I turned my back and ignored her. Unfortunately, the old guy across from me didn’t.)

Oldtime: Ma’am, did I hear you say that you are worried about being raped?

Behemothetta: YOU EVIL TRUCK DRIVER WITH SEX ON THE BRAIN, YOU KNOW YOU WANT ME…

Oldtime: Ma’am, if anyone tries to rape you, all you have to do is sit and refuse to move, cuz thar ain’t a Man around here that can pick you up!

Laughter erupted. Eyes filled with tears, Tim Conway stood up pulling his purse strap off his shoulder to prepare to pretend to defend his lady

Tim: Hey! You better watch it!

Oldtime: Whachagonna do…hit me wit yer purse?

Anyway, this day and age all it takes is the accusation.

 

You know i think i watched a video that started off just like that. I think i watched it many times over late at night with nobody around...
