    True story here:
    Going around Atlanta on 285, I was hauling paint (Sherwin Williams, Andover) which is HM. This car from a dead stop pulls right in front of me slowly and I was running 65, and the other traffic was running 75-80. I started to mess my underwear but then I saw two little kids faces in the back window and knew I was the right person for that incident, a different truck driver would've just flattened that little car out.
    The next day I was in KY going around Louisville and got pulled over and he wanted to check my HM paperwork and to make sure it was loaded properly. Was gonna let him know I wasn't present at loading and looked at his badge and I was saying look officer.... Double take on badge.... Friendly? Is it officer friendly? Yes sir, that's my name. His check out was easy he just wanted to look like he was out here making a difference. He was pretty cool.

    I had a delivery in L.A., then got a load of fruit drink and was headed back East. Well, I get pulled over and when they found out I was from KS, they just started beating the #### out of me! But then they realized that they were gonna have a problem, as I started turning invisible!!

    I'll just type this one thought and I'll shut up and go away. The most scared I ever got out of the 16yrs was the time they decided I needed to deliver to upper MI and it was a very foggy and dark Knight and i had to drive across that skinny swinging bridge, and of course the bridge didn't have any lights on it back then. Maybe momma was right telling me I should've wrote a book.

    So I'm going east on US 28 through TN when a wild boar runs out in front of me and runs right into my bumper. He bounced off and landed on the shoulder dead. I pulled over to check the damage and noticed a sign that said: 'killing wild boars is illegal'.

    Not wanting to have to make a report I high-tailed it out of there as I had no visible damage and there was no witnesses.

    So later I get to the scale house on US 32 and get pulled in for an inspection. It was clean except the officer wrote me a ticket for killing the wild boar!
