<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Snazzy, post: 212348, member: 9499&quot;]Everyone have a seat and I&#039;ll tell you my story. I guess, I was about 8 years old. Sure back then we had our toys to play with. Mostly those Japan made metal trucks. I don&#039;t think Tonka toys were known back then. At least that I remember. Of course we&#039;re going back 50 years ago. Anyway, I always liked the police cars and fire trucks. Then one day while at the Motts five and dime I conned Mom into buying me a real 18 wheeler. It actually was a replica of a moving van. When we got home the first thing I did was back up to my older sister&#039;s doll house and loaded all the toy furniture up. I shut the little doors on the back and went hauling. My mom mentioned that uncle Charlie was a real trucker and maybe he&#039;d give me a ride when he came to visit. A few weeks later I was sitting in the largest vehicle on the the road next to Charlie. Well, actually I was standing in the passenger seat while Charlie slammed gears and layed her ears back. Yep, we was trucking. We went all the way across town and swung into the steel yard that my uncle worked for. Charlie took my hand and we marched into the office. The biggest man I&#039;d ever seen grabbed me up and threw me like a feather back to Charlie. He said something about, &quot; He has to be able to see over the steering wheel before I can hire him ! &quot; Anyway from that day on I guess I was hooked. When we got home I told my mom I was going to be a trucker. She wasn&#039;t very thrilled and told me they all have bad kidneys from bouncing around and most of em didn&#039;t have a third grade education. I stuck my chest out and reminded her I was in the third grade. I played trucker for hours on end and even had to haul a dinosaur to the zoo. Well actually it was a huge grasshopper and besides his leg being ripped off the trip went well. So there you have it. More to come and happy to be here. Snazzy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
