As a “bluebird” we (no longer) claim him as one of our own!!lolbroke down plumber and Flat Earth Trucker Thank this. -
So I'm confused. Walmart wanted him to move the truck off of their lot. So when the police arrived he moved the truck like Walmart wanted. So why did they chase him ?

He was sleeping off a drunk and didn't want to move. Always a bad idea to drink when out there otr doing the job. There's really no such thing as off duty when you're trucking. I like to crack open some cold ones but I never do it when I'm in the truck out there. Wouldn't even do it on a 34 on the rare occasions i did one otr.
mjd4277 Thanks this.
