    I don’t know. I don’t follow them around. I’m not on here acting like it’s impossible to work a long truck and spread axle trailer.

    Yep, compensation.

    Interiors probably have hardwood floors, custom seats, steering wheel, and the dreaded tall shifter. Driver showers regularly, in decent physical shape, clean clothes, nice boots and unafraid to make eye contact with anyone. What’s worse is that the truck has no driver cattle prods and and Mr LargeCar can probably out-perform all haters. None of the haters are even brave enough to look him in the eye when they see him face to face. So, what exactly would he need to compensate for?

    If he were the typical fat, effeminate, smelly, sidewalk sissyish, non-mirror using, cattle prod needing, slow plodding, middle lane hogging, steeringwheelholder VICTIM that we see everyday on the bigroad, no one would say a thing. Why? Because sidewalks sissies don’t have haters. So who really has to compensate?

    If you can do it, then get it done.
    I'd probably give it a go; be an interesting challenge - but I also know better than to use a jackhammer when a chisel will work just fine.

    One random Internet guy to another:

    Have you ever had sex with a woman?

    Because this "token embodiment of manliness" spiel leads me to believe otherwise.

    Kinda full circle on the compensation thing. Just curious; no judgement.

    The guys hating are just drivers. They hate because they don’t belong. Striving to be mediocre and fueling at the loves, wobbling to fountain station with their gallon size soda cup. That’s the high point of the day. Wearing sweats to bed and to the customer. That’s the best you’ll ever make it, and that’s why you hate. Many of the guys with the nice hoods own or a related to the ones that own the trucking company or the whole farm along with it. They belong to generations of hard work and stewardship. They’re not asking about SAP programs or lease purchases. They have their life together or the wouldn’t be running equipment almost twice the cost of the mediocre.

    What does building, owning, driving any custom rig, be it a largecar or a lifted 4x4 have to do with any sexual act?

    I have never seen a purple legged, stinky from 40 feet away, unwashed, scary driver ever get out of a large car.
