    I dont care who what when or where if I see a kid doing the arm pump they'll definitely get a response from me.

    If anything, I might not see it.
    My mind might be on the road, or dispatch, or where my next stop is.

    The other thing is, our day cabs don't have air horns (city only) so if she arm pumps, she's only gonna get a toot.

    Sorry.

    Federal law requires a daily check of all horns for your DVIR. Just doesn't specify when you have to check it. ;)

    I have been driving most of my life and have always loved when kids pump their fists. No matter who is around or where I am I will always hit the air horn. As for the people complaining about kids doing that they are seat warmers and steering wheel holders. Please continue to encourage the fist pump it makes my day to see the smile and excitement from some kids.
     
    Mr. Cob, Coffey and OldeSkool Thank this.

    Lol once had a couple from a road crew pumping fists. 1 of my favorites was a cop out showing a kid how to do the pump.
     
    Mr. Cob Thanks this.
