    Finger. Yup it happened at I 81. What an honor to join an awesome group of people. I am still waiting for my first Break-check.

    Break check+ finger flip would be gold. I am already taking my deep breath. Bible reading , some meditation and even yoga. I tell myself " Relax old man , cause this generation doesnt even know what a woman is" .

    This old rookie is looking for peace. I take all the badges of honor with smile and the delivery was made on time.
    This may not be the last. Guys , we are severing our people. Let them release all the anger.
    Be safe out there..

    I get them all the time in California.

    Brake checks, I’ve gotten quite a few..Next one will definitely be the last one…I’m not slowing for nothing. Yes I will intentionally slam into them and then pull safely onto the shoulder. I will not stop my truck on an interstate travel lane and risk some innocent person going under my trailer.

    Just make sure you have a dash cam rolling all the time.

    My favorite was a super trucker trying to pass me by tailgating a slower truck at the base of a hill no less. Once he finally caught back up ( he was loaded heavier than me was my guess) and got around me he decided to lay on the air horn the whole time. So I waved and responded with a nice horned rendition of "Shave and a haricut"
    Made my night.

    When someone flips you off, just laugh and blow them a kiss. It works every time. I don’t get worked up over the old middle finger anymore. It’s simply not worth it.
