Way too wholesome man! I didn't know the lives of truckers could be so... fascinating! And I mean that in the best possible way!!!
Sorry, I called you and your buddies strange the other time😅
Thanks to that trusty alien wormhole technology.
Wait what? °_°... Did I miss something? Or... xD
Ahh, juicy steaks and a boat load of heavy duty trucks. Sounds like a real guys(plus a cat I guess) weekend to me. Love it!
Damn, 3 decades of trucking later and you're still tryna kick ass. I'd take your advice and sell out though. You've done well, now rest. Rest in da trucker hall of fame(I know it's not a myth)
Quick question though, over your many 30 years of trucking, approximately how many bystanders have ever asked you to hunk the horn just for the fun of it while you were driving? :)
Seems like a couple a week. So best guess...
52 weeks a year. X 30 years = 1,560 weeks.
1,560 weeks X 2 honks = 3,120 honks... 😉🍺😉
Ahh... I see. That's actually a lot more than I thought👀..
Ha! I remember once asking this truck drive to hunk it for me and he ended up giving me the finger. Lol, I think he was either having a bad day or... he misunderstood what I was asking of him XD
All good though.
Sorry, just seen this reply.
I been... (You guessed it)
Truckin'
I had way more fingers than honks in my younger "Super Trucker" days. Aggressive driving causes road rage.
Now that I chill, slow down and do not compete with the smaller vehicles. There is way less friction and butt hurt on both sides.
FYI..: Every year here it never seems to change. Statistics say that Big truck crashes both involving death and seriously injured are caused by the smaller vehicle nearly 80% of the time in the usa. That is 8 outta 10 wrecks you little rascals cause. And most often the occupants of the smaller vehicle are the dead or seriously hurt.
So avoid us big trucks when you can. Move past us quickly. 😉👍😉
I wonder if @galenkp could do a post about big trucks and the stats on crash causation down in Australia. I would be interested to see the numbers. Around 50k die every year up here in traffick fatalities..
Uhh... Goblin hunting?😲. Lol, it's cool though. I totally get it.
And holy shit! Those are some crazy stats! Are you serious??? Damn! Although, in retrospect, that shouldn't be too surprising. I mean just look at me for example, anytime I'm on the road and I see a huge truck ahead of me, I instantly think: "Damnit, move your fat ass truck outta road will ya!" And in an instance, i try to over take the vehicle like a mad man. Lol, sometimes it's crazy how I'm not dead yet XD</sub.
Hmm... That's not a bad idea. I'd be interested to read that too. Sounds good!
