Wild & Crazy Stories

Was he that hard up? Isn't that like taking a hotdog to a steak dinner?

 

I've met several millionaires who drive trucks to keep from getting bored. You will to!

Talked to a Prime driver who owned his own trucking company with 50 trucks & trailers that only moved music stars around to their concerts. He was driving for Prime because he got bored being a desk jockey for his own trucking company.

Talked to one driver who was a grunt in the USMC at the same time his brother was a grunt in the Army. When their enlistments were nearly over, President Johnson flew them from Vietnam to the White House & met in the Oval Office & begged them to re-enlist, but they both told him to stuff it.

Just wait until you hear all the U.S.Marshalls stories! One driver refused to unload his truck at a grocery warehouse when they insisted, so he called the U.S. Marshalls Service; they showed up so fast they still had on their pajamas. They slammed the warehouse manager down on the concrete floor and handcuffed him, hauled him off to jail, and padlocked the warehouse.

 

I thought CR England has a dress code.

 

There was one true story I heard. Some guy tried parking at a WalMart in Ohio. In less than 5 minutes, they called a towing company, who were able to disable his truck, render the unit inoperative, all while the driver and his passenger were sitting in the truck. I believe they ended up getting the US Marshals, the FBI, Obama, the Ohio state patrol, the CIA, etc, involved.

 

The number one post military job for SpecOps personnel is truck driver.

They're usually found at the counter of most truck stop eating establishments.

They like to rattle off their military résumé even if the conversation is focused on the weather.

they just crowbar it in, so you should be able to find plenty of unbeLIEvable tales there.

 

All my time total wasn't even a few months.
So let's see what I've got here..
Hmmmm, drivers try three, four five times to back in, and still not get it.Have seen slobs, super truckers, and plain ol nice guys... Rude truckers that cut anyone off, nice guys that let anyone in.. I swore my driver took a sticker off a mirror he was so tight and perfect in his turn.. Freaked out looks on people as they swear we're gonna run em over.. Seen lot lizards and gaming... Big guys with tiny dogs..
Have also seen The Empire State building, Statue of Liberty, St. Lois Arch. Stood in three of the great lakes in twelve hours, climbed the La Ventana Arch in New Mexico... The list goes on, keeping in mind, my ride was months, not years.....

 

anyone ever take a trailer to area 51?

 

a 318 hitting triple digits now thats a trucking story.

 

Yes, you will hear those stories also. One driver said he went there by mistake and was surrounded by guys wearing black clothes then some guy wearing a suit & tie with an eyepatch interrogated him and he was instructed not to say any more than that about it to anyone. He did reveal to those of us sitting around the lunch counter that he saw red and green glowing light from the distance. These stories actually are very entertaining, since the storytellers are convinced they are telling the truth.

One guy in a truckstop told me he is an 0/0 and suffering from depression. Of course, I asked why? He said he turned down a good job & now that he wants the job they won't hire him because the opening has been filled. So, I asked about the job. He said it paid $2.00 a mile loaded & deadhead, hauling styrofoam sheets from the East Coast to the West Coast & deadheading back to the East Coast for the next styrofoam load. Sadly, the guy seemed to actually believe his own story.

 

Lets just say when they start out with "Now y'all ain't gonna believe this ####" why do u think we all wear boots--BUT when I was fly in Tomcats over Red China...........
