    Lol I can dig it. Clean truck, having fun with no regard for safety or annoying people.

    Kinda want to drive on a Caribbean island now.

    Not blowing your horn, when safe, for a kid should be a prosecutable offense.

    Also, not giving a child who is under 8 years old a “high-5” when they ask, or answering a fake phone call should get you kicked in the ###.

    I have prayed most of my childhood to be able to become a trucker. It's what I would be because of the people and so on long before anyone grew up enough to know what they really want.

    The very first day I had a 18 wheeler and the first school bus started passing me, I smiled at instructor and pointed at the kids wanting a honk, he sighed and said go ahead one short toot. But don't make a habit of it out here.

    TOOT. Kids were happy.

    This was long before the train horn era lolz. whoo doggie.

    Scratch one bucket list for all the grumpies who passed our bus not tooting.

    Kids love trucks and motorcycles. Whenever you have a chance to make a kid’s day, do it. How can you not smile when you see a little kid light up and look at you like you are God himself?

    My city horn doesn’t work. Not that I’d ever use it anyways. If it doesn’t need the air horn it isn’t worth honking.
