    My belly works as a good steering wheel holder. I just have to watch out when I get bad gas. The rumbling makes me weave in my lane a bit.

    Original poster "Superpet39" has a good point there seems to be a void from when you go from Wannabee, Newbie, Steering Wheel Holder ...................... Professional driver to Old Hand or Old timer (i may have missed something) Super Trucker could fall anywhere in there i guess.
    Need to come up with an identifying something to be given or awarded when certain milestones are met --thinking something like "Superbowl rings". Which in turn could be used in an undeniable industry recognizable badge of honor such as job applications. No more "Back to school or company driver training" for someone that took a year off after ten--just hold up your hand with your rings --or better yet when some rookie comes by you complaining about the way you drive, you shoot each other the finger('S) -- full hands trumps the lonely digit ring resulting in the acknowledging head knob and slight bowing from the noob.:biggrin_25514:
