Hi, I'm Snazzy and I'm Trucker

Always knew you could get "dead " tired driving but, ????

 

Now you can set him in the passengers seat and run two logbooks!!!!!

 

LMAO!!!

Hey, Snazz -- maybe if you let him "rest" a while longer you can teach him to sing and dance...

SKELETON DANCE​

 

Yep Pj, it was originally titled Weak-End With Barney. Lobshot came up with Deadhead, Pw dreamed up Dead Tired, and Mc thought up running two books. AllLab is still with us, so Snazzers let's see what happens, as Life Goes On.

I called Ed, but the minute he heard my voice the pay phone went dead. I was about to redial the 800, TLX number when the pay phone rang.

I answered, " Hello ? "

Ed whispered, " Barney, listen to me, this is important ! When you repowered that load, did you see anything unusual ? "

I had to ask, " Ed ? How did you know that it was me calling ? "

Ed gloated, " My caller ID showed that your calling from the Oregon T.A, so I called you back on my cell phone. I don't want our call recorded. "

I chuckled, " I think, I know why ! Whose the stiff in the sleeper ? "

Ed cussed, " #### it ! That Idiot ! So, I guess you already called the cops and everything ! "

I was honest, " No ! I was just about to, but got your Quail message. Man, this is a mess ! "

Ed filled me in, " So, Tyrone really did it ? "

I was shocked, " Tyrone ? That's Tyrone back there dead ? "

Ed spilled his guts, " Here's what happened ! That Agent Silly talked me into rehiring the Idiot. He assured me that Tyrone had learned his lesson and even agreed to reimburse us for everything. So, I went ahead and assigned him to a student team truck. The other student got off the truck and that left Tyrone by himself. Now, he was doing okay and had been running solo for at least a week. He got that POW Chemical load in Piss Cat Away, N.J. and was suppose to deliver it in Kent. That's when he went out of route and quit answering his Quail Comm. So, I had the truck shut down by the Satellite System and had you repower it. "

I lit up a 100, " So, how did you know that he overdosed ? "

Ed was surprised, " He overdosed ? His suicide note just said that he was going to end it all and couldn't go on. ###### Idiot ! "

I blew smoke, " Well ! I guess that's one way to deal with it ! Good ! No ! I mean, good ! The power just came back on here at the T.A, we had one hell of a storm pass through. Anyway, I guess I'll need to call the cops and get Tyrone taken care of. "

Ed cleared his throat, " That's what me and Crook Jr were discussing. We were hoping that Tyrone had just abandoned the rig and if he did anything stupid. Well, you know, we wouldn't have all of this to deal with. "

I agreed, " Yeah ! He was a royal pain in my rump when he was still kicking. Now that he's dead, he's still causing me grief. Oh, you mentioned a note that he left. Who did he leave it with ? "

Ed shuffled some papers, " It came in his trip pack that I got. I guess he must have written it last Friday. Yeah ! That's the same day he picked that load up, at POW Chemical. "

I had to ask, " You mean, that you knew he was suicidal and didn't try stop him ? Gees Ed, he had 79,000 lbs of Hazmat and could of ...."

Ed defended himself, " I know ! I know ! But, how was I to know that he was serious ? He was a #### Idiot ! Anyway, I did shut the truck down and had you check on him. "

I protested, " Check on him ? You didn't mention any of this to me ! Oh, I get it ! As long as he croaked off the truck, then that was just fine ! Man, I bet someone raises a stink about this ! "

Ed sounded worried, " I know how it looks and that's why we decided to let you handle it. "

I didn't get it, " Sure, I'll report everything and deal with the cops. Man, I hate admitting that he was back there the whole time ! "

Ed started his sales pitch, " Well ? No one says that you have to ! Now, listen to me ! What if ? You know, what if, ole Tyrone just accidentally overdosed ? Hell ! He could of done that anywhere ! "

I still didn't get it, " Yeah, it's a shame that he ..."

Ed tried harder, " Look ! Let's say, that you repowered that load and didn't know that he was laying dead at that abandoned mall. You know, back in Lancaster, Pa. You just made that delivery in Kent and had no idea ..."

It started to sink in, " Hold it right there ! Your telling me that ..."

Ed went for the sales close, " All you have to do is head right back to where you picked that truck up ! Then, drop Tyrone off and be on your merry way. It's that simple ! "

I gave the receiver, the look, " Simple, hell ! You want me to chauffeur a corpse clear across the United States and ..."

Ed reminded me, " You already did ! Just head back and do it again ! I'll shred that suicide note and this way no one will be the wiser ! "

I played devils advocate, " Ed ! This won't work ! Hell, Eugene knows all about this and you admitted that Crook Jr knows about it. Hell, you know all about it and by the time it's over with ! Gees ! Half the world...."

Ed calmed me down. " Look ! Crook Jr will never breath a word of this and I'm sure as hell not going to ! You can lie to Eugene and tell him that he needs to make his Dallas delivery. Yeah ! As far as he's concerned, your doing him a favor. Remember that he's still on parole and sure doesn't need to be involved in any of this ! "

I still wasn't sold, " Let's see, tampering with evidence, abuse of a corpse, Interstate Transportation of human remains, conspiracy to commit a felony, hampering an investigation, and what else ? Oh well, that's good for five to twenty ! Have I left anything out ? "

Ed gave me his pep talk, " Barney ! Your the only man that can do this ! We just signed a contract with POW Chemical and now their our largest account. That's all because of what you and Eugene did ! We can't screw this up now and have them find out ! They'll think that we're all nuts and want to do ourselves in. Now come on and tell me you'll do it ! "

I gave in, " Look ! I can probably get away with this ! But Ed ! If I get caught, I'm not taking the fall by myself ! I'll spill my guts and sing like a canary ! Now, do I have your word that ya'll will back me all the way ? "

Ed promised me, " If you get busted, we'll make your bail in a New York second ! TLX will furnish you with the best criminal lawyer that money can buy. I'll see that ...."

I laughed, " Yeah sure ! Now, let's get our game plan together. First, you need to shred that suicide note ! That's a smoking gun ! Next, you'll need to do something with Eugene. He's too honest and won't ever go along with any of this ! Now, what about this Dallas load I'm under ? "

Ed knew where I was headed, " Alright, I'll take care of Eugene. I'll fax you a BOL showing that Dallas load delivers in Lancaster. So if any Bears get nosy you'll look legit. That load your under is due here in Dallas, but it doesn't deliver until sometime next week. We store them in our yard and our local driver delivers them. Anything else ? "

I thought about it, " I guess just wish me luck ! Man ! I can't believe that I'm doing this ! "

Ed cheered me on, " Oh ! This comes straight from Crook Jr ! Barney, if you pull this off, just name your price ! A new truck ? Done ! A dedicated run ? Done ! A weeks paid vacation ? Done ! Just name it ! "

I was honest, " How about a free head exam ! I must be nuts ! "

So, now you Snazzers know how I got roped into it. You know, it started out as a noble try to get a hot load delivered. Then it somehow turned into a criminal escapade that borders on the insane. What a deal, as Life Goes On.

Nightie night Snazzers, your Snazzy1.

 

and here we go ....from the frying pan to the fire

im still with ya snazzy.....heck i think i check this thread more than i do my own

 

GOT ME WORRIED NOW SNAZZY-SOME COPS BOUND TO WONDER WHY THE BUZZARDS ARE FLYING EAST IN THE WINTER.

 

Just goes to prove You dont have to be crazy to be a trucker..
But it sure helps..
Plus you can use that as your defense at your trial.......

 

ARE YOU FRIGGIN' NUTS????

Snazzy, if you have learned just one thing up to this point, it should be that sooner or later you WILL get caught.

I swear, Snazz... if I ever get the opportunity to meet you in person, I'm gonna give you one big smack upside the head. (And this is where I shake my head, roll my eyes heavenward, and sigh loudly.)

Lordy, but what next...? I'm afraid to ask.

 

Yep Pj it helps to be nuts, Duker posted a picture of the Snazz, and good ole Ducks worries too much. The Snazzy1 get caught ha, ha, ha ! Broncrider, I went over to your thread and got caught up today. It's snowing down here in Texas. What a deal, as Life Goes On.

I hung up the pay phone and sashayed back to my truck. Eugene was still reading the Good Book, as I sat down in the co-chair.

Eugene spoke first, " Mr Goose, what did Ed say ? "

I lit up, " Ed said, that you need to get back to Dallas ASAP ! "

Eugene looked worried, " Why ? Don't you need me here, in case the cops want to talk to me ? "

I blew smoke, " No ! Listen to me ! Your going straight back to Dallas and deliver that load ! Now Eugene, this is important ! All you know, about any of this, has to be kept between us ! If anyone and I mean anyone ever ask you a thang about this ! Here's, all that you know ! You dropped me off in Lancaster, Pa. and headed to Seattle ! That's it ! That's all that you know and all that you can say ! "

Eugene had to ask, " Why do want me to lie ? I'll tell them that you didn't know about him being back there ! I'll tell the truth, Mr Goose ! You can count on me ! "

I dropped the bomb, " Eugene ! What I'm about to reveal to you must never leave this truck ! You'll have to swear on that Good Book, that you'll never utter a word of this to anyone. Do I have your word ? "

Eugene was stunned, " Mr Goose, I swear ! Whatever it is ! You can rest assure, I'll never breathe a word of it ! "

I looked for flies on the wall, " Eugene ! I'm a Federal agent ! That driver is just one of a dozen, that met his fate due to a foreign drug cartel ! We've been on their trail for months and this is our first break ! "

Eugene was all ears, " I knew it ! Mr Goose, I knew that you were more than a trainer ! I just knew it ! "

I blew more smoke, " My orders are to transport Tyrone to a secret lab. They'll do a scientific autopsy and hopefully recover enough evidence to bring those responsible to justice ! "

Eugene's eyes grew bigger, " Man ! Agent Goose ! Isn't this dangerous and aren't you afraid ? "

My nose grew longer, " When drivers are being cut down in their prime and being led down the highway to hell ? Agent Barney Goose doesn't know what fear is ! Those evil doers will pay the price and you can count on that ! "

Eugene placed his huge hand on my shoulder, " Agent Goose, your the bravest man that I've ever met ! What would our country do without men like you, who risk their lives for ..."

I cut Eugene short, " Just remember, this conversation never happened ! My life and the lives of many more are depending on you ! "

Eugene raised his right hand, " Your secret is safe with me ! All I know is that I dropped you off and that's it. Wait a minute, you said, that's Tyrone back there ? "

I paused, " Yeah, it's Tyrone. Why ? "

Eugene teared up, " After all he did to you and now your willing to risk your life. Mr Goose, I mean Agent Goose, you truly are a good man ! "

Id' lied enough, " Just remember ! No matter who ask ! It doesn't matter if it's Ed, your Parole Agent Silly, the cops, the FBI, no matter who ! You just dropped me off and don't know anything ! You got that ! "

Eugene got it, " I swear ! So, what do you want me to do now ? "

I barked my orders, " I want you to head back to Dallas and run legal ! Now, I'll doctor your logbook up and all you have to do is keep it that way. Don't take any chances, run the speed limit, take your breaks, and do it by the book. If you have any problems get a hold of Ed. You got that ? "

So, after Eugene settled down a bit, we said our fair wells. You know, I hated lying to him and filling him full of crap. But hey ! I mean, in a way I was doing him a favor. You know, not letting him get involved and all. So, Eugene headed out and I put my plan into action. What a deal, as Life Goes On.

Let's break Snazzers, a double header tonight, your Snazzy1.

 

I see em' preparing a special place in Hell for someone. Making poor ol' Eugene swear on his bible.
