    LOL.

    Answer a question for me please.

    Before I got booted from one of the cool guy threads (I was probably being an ####### and my sense of humor doesn’t always come off as well as I like to think) I asked a question.

    The question I asked was “why do so many tarp monkeys leave their flashers on when parked at a TS. Now I’m not talking about OSOD guys who have a real concern of door slammers ramming into them. But like regular monkeys, and normally they’re empty/not loaded. But there they sit flashing away all night.

    I’ve started naming all of them “Percy”. I can just see them walking down the Green Mile yelling out “flat bedder parking, flat bedder parking here”. I wish John Coffey would just grab them...

    They leave them flashing so they can find their way back to the rig from the spinning dog tray.....they would leave bread crumbs as a trail, but the sandal/jog suit clan blow those away trying for 7th gear before the sidewalk.

    Start my chemo day after tomorrow....might be a bit "out of sorts" for a few days they tell me. But, being a certified door slammer....I paid them no attention!

    I've not seen the flasher thing except for Werner, Swift, Cr England, WESTERN EXPRESS, etc. They also seem to love to leave their headlights on all night.

    Speaking of dumb door slammers, I'm at a T/A SW of Houston to grab a shower real quick and here's this guy acting like a otter:

    Please take note that every flatbed in the parking lot (including myself) is parked properly in a spot.

    Anyone that can maneuver a spread axle into and out of tight locations, without destroying tires, has my appreciation. They suck to back up in tight spots. I actually took my CDL exam with a spread acle flatbed.

    Typical door slammer, not paying attention.

    Go fishing... God adds to your allotted time equal the amount that you spend fishing..

    That’s a courteous door slammer. He’s dumping his pee bottle out the window near the edge of the lot. What a good guy. LOL
