other dog

Thank ya, driving a truck seems to come natural for me. I'm gonna look like a rookie with my backing skills.

you should get a lot of practice backing around the yard don't you, moving trailers around? looks like it would be a good place to get in some practice sometime.

Haha I know ya don't hate me. I give you someone to pick on. Congrats on becoming a "pedigreed"!

Much like I was saying how nobody told Big R jokes when J.B.Hunt and Swift came along, now maybe Rob won't feel like he's being picked on anymore because of you. By the way, it was all in his head anyway.

At least he wasn't sitting on his ass like me, you, and Gambi. People are gonna start thinking we are crazy.

thinking it? it's obvious y'all are crazy! I managed to get to the grocery store yesterday and came home and attempted to cook a beast roast on the grill, but it came out so tough it was barely edible. Shoulda went with the crock pot.

Areola...isn't that part of the nipple..?

yes it is His name is Amirola or something, I just say "areola".

No way, Other Dog hacked my computer and altered that picture of you. I swear it wasn't me!

you----><----me, reaching through the computer

Double L has somehow managed to hack into my PC and is posting this outrageous stuff Rowdy...don't worry though, i'll get to the bottom of this heinous crime and put a stop to it ASAP.

That's funny though-wondered why my nose suddenly broke for no obvious reason.

Son of a... Well, a solid mid-pack finish works. Quality over quantity...?

what does all this mean? I'm going back to altering photos!

Couldn't agree more.

Sonuvabitch!!..say what?..and i'll cry over a song on the radio?..damn...back to therapy I go...

Now Tom you know you want to Photoshop all the pictures that have been posted. At least you don't chase after 15 year old girls like the former U.N weapons inspector who just got busted by a female cop posing as a 15 year old girl.

I don't?..I mean I DON'T!!!!

That's aight....he'll track ya down just fine

hey Dozer...how about a nice juicy T-bone there ol' buddy?

Another picture to work with...saved...I'm trying to quit, but nobody's helping...too bad Rob doesn't post more pictures-he's not on my "i'm tryin' to quit" list.

P.S.- If you ever get down towards Virginia, please give me 2 days notice, so I can be somewhere else.

Now what was your problem again?

Another picture to work with...saved...I'm trying to quit, but nobody's helping...too bad Rob doesn't post more pictures-he's not on my "i'm tryin' to quit" list.

That other pic was on my trip out to Montana last summer in the Ranger. Surprised nobody said nuthin' about the .45 on my hip

I got room ta haul a gun or two in ALL my trucks...

F250

Mack

All the guns in the world ain't gonna do ya a lick a good if'n ya ain't got 'em with ya when the fit hits the shan.

how true

That gangsta lean stuff ain't cool man, looks retarded in my opinion. Naw wait I tell ya what is retarded is them driver's who have the seat so high you can see their body and they are grabbing that steering wheel with both hands like their lives depend on it.

I keep the back of my seat way more forward than is most comfortable, simply because I don't want to be too comfortable. I feel it keeps me more alert and less likely to take a short nap at the wheel...I really couldn't care less what I look like to others- except when I drove a GMC Astro with the huge windshield. If you were scratching your nuts in one of them everybody knew it!

Also with CSA 2010 driver's have to lose weight if they are considered overweight or obese according to the BMI chart. So yeah CSA 2010 is bring about some changes. I see it being good and bad.

Gambi I'm 5'4 and all this time you thought you was short.

5' 4''? So, how many Chicago phone books do you have to pile in the seat to see over the dash? Do you put the blocks on the pedals or on your shoes like the kid in "Oh Brother Where Art Thou?". Just curious.

I only have a stock Cobra 29 LTD Classic so I don't have a big radio. I was smart and got an Astatic 636L and a Wilson 2000.

good choice

It's hell being short ain't it? I'm a whoppin 5'9. I can't ride with no air in the seat so I have just enough in it...but you can't beat the feeling when the air-ride seat bottoms out.

The Peterbilt style clutch is hard to get used to. Whenever I hop in my brother's truck I'm always afraid my foot is going to slip off...only I'm in it usually to move it in or out of the shed.

That is a problem. I like the suspended clutch pedal too, but i'm kinda used to the Peterbilt now. Your foot can slip off the pedal really easily, especially when your shoes are wet or muddy. Had to get used to no air in the seat too and I don't like it.(OK Freightrain, have at it!) With a usable air ride seat you barely even feel a bump, but if I put any air in the seat at all I could only see about 7 feet in front of me.

Yup...I found that out the hard way, too....and no heat shield on the derned exhaust, either

Getting in, the mirror bracket hit the intake and the door quit opening...I was already climbing up the steps, so when the door stopped & bounced back, it knocked me into the stack

I looked at that picture and said "WTF?!! What body part is THAT?" Jo said "that's his ass cheeks". I said "no way!". Then we figured out it was an elbow...but when you first look at it- man, I could have a field day with this picture-but i'm not gonna do it...i'm trying to quit.

My God grandfather is gonna teach me. I told him I'd off him fuel money and at least I won't be rushed through ya know. One benefit is I'll be learning pulling a 48ft spread axle flatbed.

I pull a 48' spread axle...am I your idol?

Seriously, I think that's the best way to learn. You're fortunate to have someone who's "been there and done that" to teach you everything and show you things rather than just telling you something and that's the end of it. There's nothing like hands on experience that you can learn by hearing someone tell you about it or reading about it. That's what pisses me off about the guys coming out of school- they've been on the road for a year or two and know it all and i'm a fool-"well that ain't how they taught us to do it, my trainer (who probably has 2 and a half years experience) said to do this and do that and you're all wrong..." But you have a good attitude and I feel sure you'll be successful.

OK...now I don't feel so old anymore.

thanks a lot...now I feel even older than I'm already is

.

I'm still alive, just been getting ready for school to start back up Tuesday. I got my God grandfather helping me get my CDL (Be learning pulling a flatbed) and then once I do that I may be driving for someone out of KC pulling a flatbed in the state of Illinois.

I've pulled a flatbed over 30 years now...hard to believe, but true.

Did one of you guys stomp his dick in the dirt or something to run him off? Not really like him to go days and not check in. Maybe he's on a rescue mission of a stranded Pete?

The world wonders........

Rob

I have not seen him- but then I haven't been broke down for about 3 weeks now. He'd probably come rescue me if I needed rescuing though.

And speaking of missing- hadn't heard from Nocluejoe for a while. He used to call or send a picture once or twice a week, then just stopped. I called him a couple of times and left messages but still never heard anything. I thought maybe he was shunning me, but I found out that he's still alive and well, he called me just now.

Amen, that is exactly right! I would be proud to own a new a Freightliner Cascadia!..could take pride in owning such a truck or a new shiny Pete/KW...having bling and chrome is nice, it makes you money !

gee Larry, so now we know how you really feel, eh? (Canadian)

Bulldog Mack

you've also got to be wary of people playing "fix that post" and altering other people's replies here.

Double L is one of the worst about doing that, but it's all in fun
