    just take all those truck stop stories with a grain of salt

    when a driver says he ran 1,000 miles, it was probably closer to 750

    when he says he backed into a dock and only had 2 inches on each side, he probably had a foot

    and when he tells you how much he makes........well pretty much cut that one in half...

    The best thing about shooting the bull with other drivers is that you will learn the difference between a fairy tale and a trucker's story.

    The fairy tale starts out "once upon a time"
    The truckers story starts out " now this ain't no f&$##*g lie!"

    In the olden days, companies paid hotel bills and dispatch was between 4 and 6 p.m. Drivers gathered around the pool or went to a baseball game. Now, drivers live in their trucks and dispatch is 24/7.
