    Genuine Mack VS. Non-Genuine Right? And no idea why they turn the dog backwards not sure i've ever seen that or haven't paid enough attention... Probably the latter...LOL

    Gold Dog = All mack drivetrain
    Silver Dog = various manufacturers

    If the dog is turned around, it's so one ####### can stare at the other

    I thought I was the only one who understands them.

    Where you see the babies you certainly will run into the Mama at some point. He he he.

    Motion Lotion, Fuel.

    Granny in the hole, lowest gear maxed out on power.

    Preggo skate, VW bug. (Modernized version)

    Hair do and showboat, clean up yourself and 18 wheeler and revert to speed limit driving school behavior.

    Mr Camera The reason for the hair do and showboat, Policeman with a radar gun in the middle. (Median strip)

    Wall to wall bears, bunch of police all over interstate.

    Slacker. DOT Man who pulls on Slack Adjusters a few times daily in inspection of big trucks. Since he only knows anything shorter than two inches, there is no point in assigning additional tasking.

    TEASING. HE HE HE.

    Now that there is something special.

    There is a thread on the forums where someone ran into a bridge post jackknifed. Usually it's a lethal problem if hit dead on. So...

    New handle for that driver "Bent Horseshoes"

    We had a man hit by a telephone service truck. New handle "Ringading"

    A driver fell off his 13 foot roofing load because he was too proud to wear the overhead harness off the roof truss system. He bounced 3 feet off the cement head first. New handle Bounce. He remained in the hospital as a vegetable until his death. New handle in his memory, dead cat bouncer.

    I took a frozen cardinal in a Amish Diner in icing conditions, took it inside the warm tractor by hand and fed it peanuts from MM's that were stripped of chocolate. After a short time it warmed up, fueled in protein and wanted out and it was gone. CB radio lit up giving me a name Bird Man. I go by another "Earplugs" due to my hearing aids. No one needs to ask my name, they see the aids and go HEY PLUGS. Yes you.... on the docks.

    Finally it's just Heavy, because if anything Im always too heavy on the #### scales after destroying one in Virginia. Dispatchers always saying, #### it he's heavy again. Yes someone call me? he he he.

    Ive picked up or given out a few in my time. I gave one to one trainer that was really good "Hellion" because I would blast radio show unshackled as I drove with him asleep (Or trying to, christian programming) and he would blast heavy metal and I did not hear it. =) and it comes from a converstation about how to have the sleeper speakers configured from that time forward to resolve a conflict. I told him I was a christian, what are you. Im a hellion. Ok no problem how do we settle the noise? So the solution was to run the sleeper speakers off in those days. It worked out well. You did not get the 4 speaker equalizer support that was really nice in those days.

    It is traditionally given by your friends/peers. You get a new job and bungle stuff up, someoen calls you "Gomer", Gomer it is. ;)

    People just make stuff up for themselves anymore.
