He probably was on some black ice, fucked his rig up on a snowbank and had to take it to some hack repair shop run by some Russian immigrants. Grinning

Gotta luv him, hope he's ok maybe he can locate Scottie.

Just unloaded in Detroit no parking , I was driving to a parking spot . Dispatch called and has lds in mi. And Ohio, so I parked on a ramp. Where going Ovr numerous lds nothing is paying because brokers say Chicago is a trucking town with much higher pay than other cities although Wi. Pays very good too. Still on the phone now typing this. Supposed to get a diff trk in Chicago this 1 is trashed the burning anti freeze in the cab really hit me bad in the last few days. Back to cb talk I hv a barefoot- no lineer amp hook to it , cobra 29 . I use a road king 56 telex microphone in the rt hands it can b a lethal weapon. that’s a joke that we hv a cb shop add 40 ft of cord. Then we fly out of the cab swinging that sucker and click in the head with the mic. My good radio is a old cobra 29 night vision_the face lights up in mint green. It has galaxy finals install peaked and tuned. Hooked to a Palamar 2,500 lineer amp with pre amp to pull a signal from very long distances. I buy my own coax and run it to a 6 ft antena with a quick release. I hv a swr box with 2 meters than I plug in to balance the swrs. On the cb I adjust the echo to just a little bit. No Ovr modulation the radio I,m told sounds more clear than a high dollar stereo
With a cd playing. Most drivers don’t hv a cb the ones that do now usually don’t say much. Just ask what lane is open for a wreck of fight talk. Most don’t know English yeah it’s diff now. It used to b a lot of comedy, stories, etc it seemed like every class clown in the country was in a truck especially 03-07. You know cb talk it starts out about any subject then it takes a turn to the perverted side or fight stuff. Even the Golden Girls had an episode of a cb - base radio in the house, it was funny as hell. Even Blanch will tell ya you can b anybody on the cb. Citizen Band is what it stands for I,m sure you know. A Canadian border patrol agent yrs ago said I like your set up. I hv a base radio at home he listens to native Americans talk in there native language hundreds of miles away. They don’t really speak words it’s sounds that represents words. I believe they used them in world war 2 for communication on war plans . The skip how far a signal travels in winter is impressive.

Oh yeah run 14 hrs out make a call . I tell the Serbians fix hrs he says tell me what you need bro. 7 days a week no days off. I typed the last post on a exit ramp with my Serbian on the phone. Where going Ovr countless lds. See my other post in diff thread. Another 21 hr day delivery to O’Hara airport air freight warehouse. Check out the wood shipping boxes , great idea for a buisness. Making custom wood shipping stuff. The long narrow 1 reminds me of hhg rig fireman shipping manels the 1st 2 drill pipes. He would next day air them 3k lbs each. He always thought he would snap off down hole, super paranoid. The Large box was 1of 2 of my hz mat corvettes they call them.

Maybe I'm wrong, but for some reason I'm thinking PR0125 has been around since at least the FreshDirt days. Can't remember exactly, but they both had that style.

If nothing else pro 125 will have a ready squad of "code talkers" ready to call up for the next world conflict.

The russians, chinese, and Korean code breaking computers will be running like they are mining bitcoin and the still won't have a,clue wtf he is talking about.

The us military will be giving us long time vital drivers code names and using us to translate..

The trucking business/career is tough. My mom started driving in1968. It did pay better than most other jobs available to women back then but it was always a fight to get paid. Most companies try their utmost to fuck their drivers. Bitch about the unions but they DO get the drivers paid.

The only way to make REAL money in the trucking business is to: Own your own BRAND NEW TRUCK...no loan or payments (hopefully no repair bills). Hold your own Authority (license to haul interstate). Have a brokers license. If you can meet those 3 things, then all the profit is yours. Otherwise, you're just working for the company store.

Having said that...there is a druggie like addiction to constantly being on the move. Ceaselessly chasing delivery dates, fighting weather, bad drivers, watching the sun set or rise in a new place in our magnificent country every day. If it gets in your blood...you just can't see another way.

Used to have one, current company classifies it as “distracted driving” so it’s a no go. I do local stuff, so I’m home every night, usually around 3-4pm, 4 days a week with an occasional 5 days a week. No idea how profeshenal does the over the road stuff, respect man.

I don’t think so. I’ve been around since then and caught on to most of the people from WI here. He knows too many details for small area near where I’m at for me to not have noticed him back in the old days

Pic of 2257 is a 06 with a 460p engine is stands for high performance 487hp at the wheels with the 2 belts on. It was turned up to 525hp 390 gears Eaton rear ends, Mack trans 13sp. If the rear ends where Mack the Bull
Dog on the hood would b gold. I could break the tires loose hitting 7th gear. Just had the trk washed in Youngstown. 2 couples polished the wheels there following some bands tour traveling the country. You can kinda see the lineer amp on the rt side of the dash. Pic is at Morton Pa. the chocolate in the tank is from Blommers downtown Chicago inside the loop trucks r not allowed there unless your going to blommers. We load underground in a basement. The cocoa butter we haul in here comes from Jersey. Pic of chic is in Anaheim hills Ca. The fresh Milky Way in her hand is off the line is from New Market in Ontario . In the winter only we delivered to Bakersfield to Nestle,s there always broke down. So ya leave and park at Bruce’s truck stop it also has a bar. And a trailer park close to it. You couldn’t get 10 min of sleep lot lizards constantly banging on the side box. That’s rt below your head. There all on crack crazy amount of them. Drivers used to hit the parking lot and say where the women at. You hv to b a rookie not to know that. It always the back row the party row but they can b all over the parking lot at some places.

Plow boy is rt it is an addiction always going somewhere new, meeting new people there characters that’s the best part. When warehouse people hv time they like to talk with no filter to us. Usually outside where there’s no one else can here. Usually funny stuff subjects they can’t talk about inside. I figure I hv to deal with people all the time why not hv a good doing it. If security chic in a tiny shack gives a small piece of paper for instructions. I say what’s this your phone # . She laughs and says not quite. I say yet. Haha You hv to tolerate a lot the bad which there is a lot of , I brush it off and keep rolling. Seems like everyone wants to here about lot lizards. They got that name because when they get in the truck they start grabbing everything. North of AtL the word is out there checking your coloring book- log book at the scale house. So I exit and park at a truck stop and ketch up on paper work until they made enough revenue and close it. A lot lizard sneaks up in day light and says, hey driver you want some commercial company. I say no I,ll pass. She is dressed in black Vinal boots past her knees tight blue jeans with a blouse that looks like there’s 2 potatoes in wet socks hanging there. So I decide to hv some fun playing with her. She says I,m the best In dalton nobody does it better than me. I hv my arm out the window and she’s talking basically saying anything to get in the cab. While she’s caressing my palm of my hand saying I love big strong hands. Etc So we start negotiating she starts at 50 bucks . I say I blew a lot of money in parking lots the last few days. Haha she drops it to 40 then 25,20. I got her down to 12.80. I hear big word on the cb, meaning closed and I roll out.

Driving truck is brutal…drove up to Alaska twice. My co-worker drove the semi, we were following in a dually with a trailer. He loved telling stories of driving into New York…people always jumping on the trailer when driving down the road to unlock and steal shit out the back. They would team up driving into the city in a line and not stop at any stop signs/lights. Had a car pull out in front of him once and couldn’t stop, crushed the car and driver.

First time driving to AK, we made it in 3 days (~3000+ miles). We teamed up driving. Only stopping for gas and food.

Pic of us throwing chains on heading out of Haines Junction, Yukon..

Bizarre part when I go on orders for the military, or go racing. I think I like the travel/drives the most. maybe I shoulda drove truck for a living ha.

Sittin shotgun with my dad in the motorhome driving to KROC, qualifiers, regionals, Loretta’s, mini os, Ponca….that was awesome. I never would get outta the passenger seat unless my mom dragged me out.

Yeah that’s about it. Pretty bad when organized crime co.s are more legit than a 25k mega carrier. Anyone can look up a co.s safety rating. Example Schneider national safer web. Vehicle is trk and trl how many inspections and how many where put out of service oos. Driver is for logs self explanatory. Yrs ago it listed the violations it was funny as hell. ASL 1 of the top 100 paying co.s these spots r bought and paid for by the way. If you want to b top 25 of 100 you just pay more. ASL had a driver cited for missing a door on the truck. Some other co. Driver for cited for driving with a driver side windshield, a owl was stuck in it. A lot of driving with dragging trl doors 2 plus blown tires, etc Same with haz mat. Look up Silvicom on safer web, yeah the inspection # is extremely high. There safety record is border line loss of authority. All they do then is file for a new MC #. Very dangerous co to haul 43,500 of liquid hz a bomb going down the rd. That’s why I left there. I reamed them out on installing the wrong brake components. The 2 shop Forman looked like bulls called 4 mechanics in to beat my ass. I said no problem I specialize in tune ups. I worked there for another 6 months. They gave my trk away to a 3rd world guy when I took time off after working 4 months straight. The last 2 trks where lease purchase junk. 1 had all the brakes rusted stuck, the last driver drove it for 2 days and quit. Nobody wanted to drive it, I was not leasing it. A lot of north east short hauls . I said I need 375 a day plus miles. That’s nothing to ask for and very fair because parking is 55.00 and 1 sandwich can b 24.99. I hv to make something, you earn nothing on 312 mi a day at .80 a mi. The 3 rd world drivers won’t ask for anything like that. I took pics of some of there tags on there Mercedes just in case . I don’t do well in court when I go after them. They owe me a lot of money. It was a little rough there for me the last few months. Pics r last sat a warehouse connected to the nfl stadium in ATL. And leaving there. Crazy stuff out here Bros.
