    I see this thrown around a lot which makes me wonder what one actually is, and just how does one reach super trucker status?

    When the wallet chain is longer then their truck you will know you found one.

    The guys that always scream past you on downgrades because they think they can safely do 90 mph down a mountain and endanger everyone else on the road. That's who I think of.

    They dominate at the lunch counter. They race you up the hill. Their truck is all chrome. All the freight they haul is $14 a mile. They tell you trucking sucks, and the megas are destroying the universe. They also talk at you for hours on why you’re doing it wrong and they’re right.

    Every industry has a version of the Super Trucker.

    Or, I could be wrong.

    You don't want to be labeled a super trucker; it's an insult.

    Not everyone who has a chromed out truck is a super trucker. I meet a lot of guys at truck stops with bad ### trucks that are covered in chrome that are actually really cool guys. Super trucker is more of a personality thing than a truck thing.
