    Do not get behind the obese driver in the fuel island when it's 0F outside and he is in shorts and flip flops. You won't be moving for a long time. I don't why, it just is.

    Sunglasses and a hat going through the scales keeps your blood pressure regulated.

    Keep a all metal copy of your truck door key in your wallet, and a set of door and ignition keys somewhere under your hood.

    no road rage, ever.

    A clean truck truck is hardly looked at by the people that matter.


    If the rain is making u-turn and getting inside your nose instead of hitting the ground, it’s time to slow down or park it. Personal experience and yes I followed my wisdom.


    Never park at a national truck stop. 50/50 chance you’ll need a new front clip.

    My spare key is always in my front left pants pocket, just in case.

    Not my wallet, because I don't always bring that in with me.
    I never exit the truck without my pants on.

    Never use leather seats in your truck, because if you fart while driving, you'll feel the warmth of it because it travels everywhere.

    No matter how long you will this to change, people in 5,000 lb. 4 wheelers will always pull out in front of 80,000 trucks. Average humans just don't seem to think about physics much.

    These same people are stupid enough to sit behind you at a stop light immediately preceding a hill and wonder why you can't do 0-60 like they can.

    When you get to the delivery place and it doesn’t look like it will fit. It won’t fit.
