    Dispatcher to driver: "I'm in a real bind with this hot load. If you'll help me out this one time I promise I will make it up to you".


    Translation: "If I can sucker you into doing this load nobody else will touch, then I know who to go to every time I get one of these stinkers".

    DM " Sorry no loads going to Georgia at the time."

    Asking another driver of the company "Hey driver where your going?

    The Other Driver "Atlanta Georgia"

    Ask the next 10 drivers u seen all same answer, but no loads going to Georgia right?


    A Non Trucking one;

    Doctor "There is nothing wrong with your knees"

    After walking out of the Office your knees give out and you go done, "Oh but there nothing wrong with my Knees"

    I like Good Pay, Great Miles.
    "leg check 65 feet"
    or i saw a sign that said we can get you 2 of these 3 "good pay" "better miles" or "great home time" If you want good pay and better miles you wont get home If you want good pay and great home time you wont get many miles. if you want better miles and great home time than you wont make much pay. Now which 2 do you want.

    the most common thing I hear is professor of economics, super-trucker, extolling the virtues of living life in a free market economy based on the democratic socialization of the working poor which leads to the further capitalization of an ethnocentric elite.

    "they're taxing the crap outta me to pay for welfare while the rich keep getting richer"

    There's one bigger ... when you lease your truck from the company you run for.

    You better keep a drum of this stuff handy:
