First Super Trucker moment

Supertrucker definition requires at least:

Run 5000miles per week, average cruise speed 80+mph, use stimulants to stay semi-conscious, regular use of running in a single file bumper to bumper drafting to save fuel, and, oh yeah, what's a logbook?

 

You must know me you described me to a t back in the day especially the jake brake with straight pipes and always talking s*** on the cb only thing you forgot was my 5%tint on the windows.Shoot i miss my ole western star sometimes i have dreams about her.

 

So... declaring an entire thread stupid, and that anybody who knows anything knows it....kind of a super trucker statement, no?



No offense 6 speed. - I'm just having some fun.

 

Super truckers come in all shapes and sizes, and run for all sorts of operations, from mega fleets to small companies to being O/Os...

A super trucker is simply someone who's gone faster, driven more miles in a day, been wider, longer, taller, or heavier than you ever have been.

You could have been a driver at Premay on one of the 1million pound plus vessel moves, and he'll tell you about the time he moved an entire manufacturing plant on this special built trailer, musta' been 3-4 million pounds gross, did it with his '74 Peterbilt 359...

You coulda' been one of the bullhaulers who was running over 200,000 in a year (solo), and he will tell you about the year he ran for 300,000miles...

You could be hauling any of a number of government loads and he'd tell you about the time he hauled Reagan's body... special, off-the-books haul, full escort, only ran at nights, had to average 100mph...

At least that's what I consider to be a super-trucker.

One that sticks in my head is when a friend had me take his rig to a show (his wife wanted him to take the day off, he wanted the truck in the local show). Neat older Kenworth with a set of boxes, 6x4. A guy walked up and talked about driving a "6 and 5..."

 

That' a Super Trucker? Today I will leave Toronto, ON, fuel, clear customs, scale, get unloaded in Ithaca, NY then bounce to Dover, DE and fuel again. I guess that's only 553 miles....seems longer LOL.

 

You mean "Commander McBragg"?

-Has an exotic wife whose whole meaning in life is to wipe his arse
-annual income of $40 mil
-5000 acre spread in Montana
-was in the military for 3 yrs but made the special forces
- international spy. Be prepared to duck, because "that driver with the diaper on his head may be here to try to kill me."
-is also aneuro surgeon
-has the president of his trucking company calling him asking for advice
-had a truck that would do 187 mph
-has pulled every wagon known to man, driven every truck, commanded God to make the 'sun stand still' so that he can run from Albuquerque to Charlotte before it gets dark.
-Had bionic limbs after that incident on Apollo 13

 

Pardon my blunt statement, but I always run 5 mph over the posted speed limit and haven't had 10 trucks pass me all year.LOL

 

Had a driver pass me reading a newspaper,no doubt his name has been in one since then.....the obituary column no doubt

 

Think his headstone reads super trucker

 

Curious, when you pass a driver who is texting, or watching a movie... do you do anything, like blow your horn?
