    I've talked to Bluebird. He said he humored you with allowing that. But he'd never truly ever identify as a Volvo.

    1000 miles a day is a lot. I don’t think I’d go for that. Not for any pay.
    I’m very happy with my 4000 a week. Easier than many would think.
    My truck identifies as a white Volvo too.

    Do you have the multi-colored tassels hanging from your visors above the windshield, and the large graphic of the bearded man holding the sword on the side of your tractor? You'll also need to change the name of your company to Golden Alpha Lion, or something manly like that. Don't forget to drill a large hole in the floor as a bathroom. That's standard equipment for all reefer haulers.

    You’ll know you fit in when:
    You open your reading glasses case. Only to realize you’re wearing them.

    You look like you’ve had a bath in the past few days. To fit in, I believe you need to let yourself go without one for at least a week.

    Make sure you park besides other reefers in the truck stops. It's an unspoken code we have LOL
