    Seems like I first remember this with oversized load guys, now everyone just copies it. Most individuals aren't capable of their own thoughts, so they just reuse others.

    I THINK I seen this. I was pulling into the truck stop for the night and seen the inflatable alien in the front passenger seat. I went and showered and it was gone with the bunk curtains closed when I came back out. Next morning it was back in passenger seat.......

    it's all in fun. A tonka dozer for instance.....I strapped a bicycle up-right one time to get it home, while empty ! And a stuffed Santa Clause in the passenger seat during December.

    The way I've heard it it's a joke about never running empty. Always got a machine on the deck.

    South Texas guys like to put a fake arm or a leg dangling down under the roll up doors to make it look like someone is trapped inside the box.
