Good day, wherever the time zone or in the world you may be...

Welcome aboard, you'll find we're all bozos on this bus. We're all about .02 here. We have a member here named Chinatown, and if he isn't too busy finding the latest health hazard, ,,can steer you in the right direction. It's important to mention your location, and type of trucking, year of truck, regional, OTR. All I see here in Colorado is flatbeds, and with all the building going on, you could probably pick from several places.O/O is tough right now, but flatbed seems to be the best gig out there. Good luck.

 

This is a great website. I've been on it for about eight years. About three years ago, I signed on to Facebook at the urging of my niece. I like that too. I told her I might as well try Facebook because I've been active on Truckers Report for a while. She took a look at our forum here, and was impressed. Like Facebook for truckers, she said.

 

Facebook Marketplace has become THE place to list just about anything for sale. Some great vintage trucks there. Craigslist on steroids, kind of. Biggest difference here, is that our comments are monitored, thank goodness, and makes for a much more civil group. Facebook can be an outlet for crabby, hurtful people, not tolerated here. Strictly business. Hey, they've put up with me for over 10 years,,

 

There's also a great group about the TV series Movin' On. That's the biggest influence I have that got me into trucking.

 

Ah, Movin' On, with Claude Akins, same here, in fact, all those shows, Smokey and the Bandit, Cannonball, BJ and the Bear, riding around with a monkey in the cab, disgusting creatures, and the rest. Did you know, prior to Movin' On, KW never made a double sleeper W9, but the producers had one custom made, and response was so great, KW began offering it.

 

Yeah, I've read a lot about that Kenworth. Around the time the show was on I built a model of a similar one. It had the single sleeper. You could also built the kit at your option as a day truck. Then I got a trailer for it. A Freuhauf ( don't know if I spelled it right) The trailer had working doors, and sliding tandoms. An uncle explained to me the purpose of the sliding wheels.

 

I've gotten quite a few insults and other bad things on Facebook. I never respond to them, and usually just ignore them and sometimes put them on blocked. I have never, ever, gotten a negative comment or bad words here on Truckers Report. Oh, a difference of opinion now and then, but thats everyone's right.

 

Welcome, family. The transportation industry will probably be fully automated years before I'd my 25 year mark . How do you feel about the inevitable changes that are bound to start impacting our jobs within the next couple years?
