The white Volvo

I just saw that guy drive by!

 

My first time in Chicago, I was surprised to see the whole "white Volvo" thing was true.

That said, I don't care where someone is from, so long as they work hard for their money and not try to cheat the system. We are all drivers out here, and we all need to look out for one another.

I follow the Twisted Truckers page on Facebook and it surprises me how many white guys will jump all over other truck drivers for the tiniest of mistake, and would rather take a picture/video to post and shame them, rather than just help them fix the problem.

I've done my part helping when it's needed, and try not to brag about it. If everyone were just a little bit more compassionate and helpful, the world would be a better place.

 

Did you have to pay a wrecker fee. Boss keeps saying he has to pay something even if he cancells. But I've learned not to pay attention to most of what he says.

 

I’ve noticed on Highway Thru Hell that those european guys are being shown in a much better light. Some seem to be very helpful.

 

same here. while back a guy had the wrong fuel filter,he had a 1" thread and needed a 3/4". i had the one he needed. he gave a handfull of diesel scented dollars even tho i told don't worry about it,lol.


also got a guys 3406E going after it ran out of fuel. he didn't know about the primer pump. he was pretty happy to avoid a several hundred dollar service call. he tried to give me like 80 bucks. i took like 40 cause i could see he was like myself in that i was gonna have to take something for the troubles.

 

They cheat the system BIG time. That's where to term "Chicago 10-99" company comes from. And ya they aren't all bad. I actually was flagged down by one a couple weeks ago at a rest area in Pennsylvania as I was exiting 80. He was in a similar situation as @Hurst driver and needed a pull because he sank down into the grassy area on the shoulder. I tried for about 30 minutes to pull him out but he had just sank himself to far down so it wasn't working. He needed a tow. But even without getting him unstuck he wanted to pay me for my time which I declined. As much as I'm not a fan of the white Volvo I'm always for helping another driver in need no matter who they area.
