    Female truckers never wear bras. Don't get caught looking too hard.

    Best reply. Good old Murphy's law never fails. The days you need to be out of that dock fast you sit and the days you need a nap they're in and out of the wagon in 30 min knocking on your door just as you fall asleep

    If they don't care, why should I?
    Should one persons freedom mean another persons bondage?

    Exactly why I try to turn down loads that are too tight on time.

    Absolutely not.....I didn't say don't look now.....it's one thing to look, and it's another thing to look too hard. A man like me, I play it kind of cool. You see the jugs just a swaying back and forth, a photographic memory goes a long way.

    I don't have road wisdom, but I've been told repeatedly I'm a wise ###. Guess that means I'm on my way..

    Anyway, The GPS can be way off sometimes. Other times, it's sitting up there flashing red telling me to turn the F around. I ain't much on listening, but this time it was right.

    So this road, 434 between Angel Fire and Mora, it ain't meant for Jimmy trucks and 48 flats. We made it through just fine, but sure enough got some looks.

    If you're running a little late for an appointment, you'll hit every red light. If you really need to look on your phone for directions, you'll hit every green light.

    If you get just a little dab of grease on your clothes, in a matter of seconds it will be all over.

    And if you even give a sideways glance at a can of anti seize it will be all over you!

    If there's a puddle at the fuel island it's either urine or diesel, either way, you don't want to track it into your truck.

    You only ever realize there is a puddle after you've stepped in it
