    My first foray in trucking was in '77. Handles definitely were a thing. Since I was a rock climber I went by Cliffhanger. My brother had been a journeyman plumber, so he went by Plumber.

    The problem with my brother's handle was that it's synonymous with Commercial Buffalo.

    Back in the 90s, I almost thought my handle was "shut up, stupid" I heard it so much.

    Everybody called me Pam when I first started and then they all started calling me Crete. Then one day they all started calling me something else. Weird how they decide that

    There’s a popular trucker out there called “Audio” I hear people everywhere calling for him.

    Just in case we missed anyone -

    So, the driver returns home to his loving wife after weeks on the road, and - showered and shaved, in bed they lay.

    His wife leans in close and says . . .

    “I ain’t got no panties on . . . “

    To which he replies . . . “Shut up stupid”.
     
    Coffey, Numb, LoSt_AgAiN and 3 others Thank this.

    Get named after a mistake? I got some ideas. My last codriver gets Curb Surfer. That guy had an uncanny ability to roll over just about every curb and be totally fine with it.

    My issue is backing. So you can call me Captain Pull up.
     
    Lepton1 Thanks this.
