Truck drivers are fuck-tards.
Especially during the winter, the fuckers weave in-and-out of their lane.
Splash slush all over my windshield.

you try to maintain some semblance of sanity while over indulging in meth and lot lizard blow jobs (with a bony ass meth finger up your ass).

My next door neighbor is a nice trucker. We greeted on our respective porches the other day and he told me that it had been a really terrible winter for trucking... I went to bed that night, and woke up around 3:00 hearing his Metallica in my pillow...faintly. A 45 year old man, playing Kill 'Em All QUIETLY at 3:AM, slammin' Leinenkugels and chain smoking...kinda cracked me up for some reason.

A few weeks ago a semi literally ran me off the road (he wanted in my lane at the last second, so he could exit)
I called the trucking co. to complain...they put the trucker on the phone! the one who almost killed me, he literally told me
(in a frenchy accent)
"You didn't want to move, so I moved you."
poor truck drivers having to deal with other vehicles!

Rich Balls, that is hilarious.
A couple of months ago a friend of mine was driving behind a semi on the freeway and a huge ice chunk slid off the top of it and smashed my friend's windshield. Luckily the flat side hit, otherwise it probably would have gone right through.

Since I'm already boycotting eBay and USA Baby this week, what's the name of the offending trucking company?

It is really dangerous when truckers start doing shit like that. They're so much bigger than you, if they do hit you there is a good possibility they WILL kill you. Do you notice if different truck co's are more or less dickish? Our drivers (UPS) are very well trained and our trucks are checked daily so the shit is safe.

"You didn't want to move, so I moved you."
This is my attitude in a nutshell--a truck's gotta do what a truck's gotta do. 98% of auto drivers don't know or don't care what's required to get a truck where it's gotta go so you can't show mercy or wait for motherfuckers or assume that anyone except another truck driver has a clue about what you're trying to do. A truck is not a car and we can't drive it like one so stay the fuck away from us and don't hang around us going down the road because it takes a long time to speed up, a long time to stop, a lot of room to turn and a long time to change lanes. I'm working when I'm behind the wheel and I'm concentrating on what's going on around me at all times--most car drivers are just oblivious, incompetent or outright intentional assholes. NO MERCY.

How come truckers hardly ever honk their horns anymore when I pump my arm to make the "honk-honk" signal?

I will not honk my horn for anyone over the age of 10. And even then probably not. I'M WORKING and probably listening to Zeke or Venom or something else completely reprehensible and I'm not gonna be in the mood to make you happy with a fun noise.

My first year of school, '76, there was a pencil vending machine. Different colored pencils with NFL teams engraved/painted on them. They were replaced at some point with trucker terms and definitions. My world changed and I tried to buy them all.

I find it hilarious that the 2 greatest late-70's "CB movies" were directed by big-shot directors.
Citizen's Band (directed by Jonathan Demme)
Convoy (directed by Sam Peckinpah)

They went back to NFL teams. Bastards. And who the fuck in Texas wants a Cincinnati Bengals pencil? Or Tampa Bay back when they were semi-neon orange and white? People like me got that shit and fuckers like Lawrence Henderson or Micheal Bailey got the cowboys and the oilers.
I always try to make my time around trucks brief and not hang around beside 'em or behind 'em. And if they're signaling I don't try to race them. My dad drives a school bus so I know they don't need to be fucked with.
If they don't honk for the arm-pumping, though, I brake-check 'em. Some things are sacred.

that makes me sad. my dad has a bunch of trucks and my uncle is still a driver and i used to work dispatch for landstar for awhile. i still try to get them to honk their horns while i'm on road trips. it's fun.
"reefer".
this is also what they call refrigerated trailers. it always made me giggle when i came across one.

Yeah, they put dye in the fuel so the law-dogs can make sure they're not driving with it. It's taxed differently because it's only used to run the refrigerator compressor on the trailer. If you used it to fill up the tank on the truck, you'd be in trou-u-u-ble. My father in law drives for Kroger.

man, that's kind of a cool tidbit to know. Like UV dye?

Yeah, I thought it was kind of neat, too. It's a lot cheaper than regular diesel, and they look for it at weigh stations. Even weirder was that I first learned about it while programming credit card machines (to take Fleet cards, so the carrier could keep track of the trucker's purchases).
I don't think it's UV. It's pretty noticeable from what I hear, but I've never pumped any.

Well like UV dye is BRIGHT GREEN under UV light. And that ain't too expensive to produce. Just a handheld thingy and the shit is glowing neon green (we use it for freon dye and it's like a tube about the size of the last 2 knuckles on my ring finger. Glows like a motherfucker even diluted with like a bunch:1 dilution into the system.
I've been thinking about drawing something with it on a black shirt and wearing it to a nightclub so nobody notices until I'm inside and then it's all "I wonder if that fuckhead knows about the dick and balls across his back?" Uhh, nope.

Well, I did hear the dye was green (and they had red, too; Christmas conspiracy? I THINK SO!), so maybe. And it'd have to mix with gas. I dunno.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but I ALWAYS pass semis as quick as I can, I know they'll be rubbin' one out (or high-n-tired) so I pass them as quickly as fucking possible.
Who wants to drive next to a big swerving truck????
If that fucking driver was so tough, he would have pulled over when I honked and pointed to the side of the road, big-time frenchy pussy....
I think semis need to learn how to drive in their lane, or they shouldn't drive. If they need more time to stop, SLOW THE FUCK DOWN.
(for the record not ALL truck drivers are like this, but the ones who do drive like dipshits, like Windy said, can kill people)

I used to drive a Karmann Ghia. It scared the shit out of me to end up beside a big rig. I knew there was no way they could see me, so I'd get past them asap. They coulda squashed me like a bug!

We can see you anywhere around us unless you're right on our ass in which case I just check for your shadow on either side. Truckers love to use science like that. Besides, you've got to admit to the occasional desire to do like Chevy Chase in 'Christmas Vacation' and get that little car right underneath our trailer.

I was driving one time and a semi ahead kinda swerved a little. I wanted to pass him so I got a head of steam and drove through quickly, giving him a wide berth. When I got alongside him one of his tires exploded. Scared the living shit out of me.
He kept it under control though.

was on my way home on the interstate just a few miles from my exit and couldnt get into the right lane cause 2 rigs were driving close together, i didnt have time to slow down or speed up and make the exit and i was stoned and not planning ahead (it was a busy time of day, lots of traffic) so i stepped on it and cut right between 'em with less than a foot clearance on either the front or the back, going about 75 mph in my 78 ford fairmont with a straight 6 and no power steering. to make the move i just barely missed the exit and hit the grass embankment going almost 80, amber was white as a ghost and shaking like crazy, she wanted to kill me. that car was a fucking monster, i got the needle pinned well past 120 where it maxed out many times. for some reason i always drove that thing like a stunt driver.

My dad had a Fairmont when I was a kid, bought that fucker brand new (very-early 80s) It ran until the floorboards where completley rusted-out!!
It lasted until the late 90s.
