    You finish putting gas in your car, get back in and pull up, looking for the yellow stop line.

    You swipe your gas card, and look for the questions on the screen.

    I'm sure someone has mentioned it but when in my F-150 I'm constantly changing the channel on the radio in an attempt to set my cruise control.

    A bad habit I picked up being OTR is mixing the whites with the colors when doing laundry. This drives my Wife nuts, I'm forbidden from doing laundry at home.

    You use your 4ways while backing up in your car/pickup
    You help another driver with backing in a spot or open the trailer doors before they can walk the 60ft to get to em.
    You wave another trucker or other 2wheelers by at a 4 way stop

    In general I've found that being a professional driver turns you into an old lady behind the wheel of a 4-wheeler. The road comes at you so much faster when your butt is scraping the asphalt...makes it feel like you're driving way too fast.

    Slowing down long before getting to a red light, and watching the lights in the other direction of travel so that you don't have to come to a complete stop, timing the lights to keep rolling...
