    No.......but thats a good name for them. Don't know if it's being used but that would be a good fit.

    I met a guy once that claimed he actually worked for a company named that. Ran totally outlaw, just like that. But i'm talking about like the 70s when they claim you could get away with that crap. For some reason im kind of doubting that they had that name on the side of their truck, seems like asking for trouble to me...

    I dont remember if i told you but i remember a while back i had an old timer telling me how back in the 60s/70s he ran outlaw, and got into in-depth discussion about how he got the stickers he needed for his truck. Bought em off company drivers and swapped them to his truck...

    Its too bad we have this computer stuff nowadays or i'd probably be running an operation like that. Hehehehehhehehehe But now that sticker doesnt mean anything. Yeah, you get a ticket for not having it on the truck, but you now have a computer to tell you if its supposed to be on that truck or not.....


    Oh yeah, im really wondering why anyone runs a business like that when we have exactly those computers to tell mr dieselbear what we're up to? And atleast if i did it my truck would be a chromed out large car with no OOS defects, not a bucket of bolts. I just dont get that. You have to take pride in your ride.

    Had another one yesterday that made me laugh pretty good. Had this fella stop who did not have his license with him. So the fella gives me his buddy's name. A record check revealed the name he gave was suspended and revoked. So I lock him up and go to book him. Fingerprint and send the prints off to be checked by the FBI to positively identify him. About 20 minutes later I get a response back saying the fingerprints are someone totally different. So to play along with this dumb$$$ I contact the DMV's of the respective State's this guy and the "fake name" were from to obtain both driver's license pictures. Less than 3 minutes later both pictures are emailed to me which definately confirms this fella has some explaining to do. So to watch him tap dance I interview him on videotape in our interview room which will be entertaining in court. He continues the lie for about 15 minutes on how he lost his wallet, how he did this and that. Worked for this company and that company. Which previous inspection history showed that his "buddy" did work for that company. However the look on his face was priceless when I dropped the two license pictures in front of him and the fingerprint analysis. He then just smiles and said "I guess I should just shut up." You think!:biggrin_2559: You got to love when a guy is suspended, uses a fake name and that name is also suspended.
