Grubby, cnsper, TallJoe and 1 other person Thank this. -
Sounds like a lonely guy,,,,
slim shady and tucker Thank this. -
Yeah but the Guy you'll typically get stuck with in that bar is loud, obnoxious, full of crap, racist, and can't handle their liquor and you can't wait for them to get escorted out.
3 evenings in that bar and 2 were like that for me. No more. Drunk truck drivers are the worst drunks to be stuck with at a bar, IMOLast edited: May 25, 2017

Hope not. Some of those old salty drivers have outlived their families or their children went out on their own and prefer to keep it that way. Long haul trucking is a lifestyle that many enjoy and would rather do that than fish or collect stamps or some other hobby during the golden years.

Perhaps, but to put 5 million miles on, I'm sorry, that's ALL they did. And that's fine, sad, but fine. To me, there's so much more to life than barreling down an interstate. For MY retirement, I bought an "Interstate", only the Honda type, and I'm going to go all the places I could never go with a truck. That's what's great about America, you can go either way.

I'm thinking about buying a Boss Hoss Motorcycle. Probably go with an automatic transmission. Got spoiled driving automatic transmission trucks.
This one is 485 HP V-8 EngineLast edited: May 25, 2017

They like those big Harley's in China. They ride Goldwings also, but the Harley is the king.
