    You might be a chicken hauler if you stop at night on the side of the road to piss and your little wieney illuminates orange like a glow stick. Someone call the doctor!!

    Yes she is fine. Now Battery operated as she likes to call it. Ended up with a combo Pacemaker Defib in her. Here is the weiredest thing I was by Speed limits 7 hours out. My Dad who at the time drove for a differant company was 3 hours out. He had to wait for a empty driver to come and meet him from 2 hours away to relay. I beat him home cashed my paycheck went to Pontiac picked up my brother and brought him home and beat my father home by 45 mins. That give you a clue how fast I ran home that day.

    This should give you a clue as to how fast that truck could have gone 110 according to the cops I still had 400 RPM before REDLINE on the Motor. Redline was set at 2400 I was cruising at 2000 and had gained 25 mph in less than 500 PRM when I spilt it into 13th. Told the cops I can go FASTER they said NO YOU DOING FAST ENOUGH.

    You might be a chicken hauler if you REALLY do think the Banning Scales are a Bed and Breakfast !!!!

    Whatever happened to Ray Carlisle? He used to sing over the CB in OKC, and all the drivers would back off the mike key just to hear his tunes... like a free concert for truck drivers at the Hook on Morgan Road, back when there was life left in that place. I still have two of his tapes... those songs are f______ hilarious!!! Ray started that whole "You Might Be A Chickenhauler..." thing, but I haven't heard from him or anything about him for quite some time. Tell me he's not dead or in prison... "Say it ain't so!" As for Banning, I've often jumped off at that last exit just before the chickenhouse, waiting with three or four other drivers for the sign to change... my logbook and truck weight were perfectly legal each time, I just didn't want to sit in line for 45 minutes. As soon as the scales temporarily closed and the sign changed, each driver in our little "Banning Convoy" wound 'er up and hauled ##s past the long line of stationary trucks.

    Anyone have a copy of the old turbo recepies book? It would make me crazy to be behind someone and smell chicken or fish or steak cooking and not see a house anywhere in the area! :biggrin_2556:
