Be careful. In Obama's Amerika, this truck is a hate crime.

I grew up in the sleeper of one of these. My dad was a trucker, logging over 3 million miles. He's been in every state but Alaska and Hawaii. Truckers are the salt of the earth, the reason we even have a food supply, let alone soap.

Absolutely. Most folks have no clue how big a role truckers play in keeping this country going. They treat them like jerks on the highways, seem to think those trucks can turn and stop like a car, cut them off etc. I get angry when I see that. I did local hauling in VA/TN for a few years. The hours were long, the money was okay, but it just wasn't the life for me. It takes a certain type to live that life and I was still young and wanted a social life and when you are a trucker, your social life is the other truckers and traffic and whatever you can find on the radio and where I was driving, radio reception was not the best.. I did in that time gain a total respect for the truckers and their lifestyle as well as the contribution they make to America. I rate them very near the Armed Service men and women who protect our freedoms so bravely. ANYTIME I see a truck that needs to move over a lane or needs to make a turn, I always let them in and cut them slack. I know it makes the cars behind me irritated sometimes, but 99% have no clue what it's like in a truck, especially here where we have 8 lane going one way interstates now (which between that and people moving away has reduced traffic bigtime) and the rest of the cars on the road are Haitians who (call me racists if you like) have absolutely no clue how to drive. Most of it is because in Haiti, they drive tiny (like go carts) cars and drive on the left side of the dirt road. To a Haitian, a Prius may as well be an 18 wheeler. I could do posts every day for two weeks on stories about Hatians driving here. I have nothing personal against Haitians, it's not a race thing, but I have been hit twice by Haitians and one almost caused me to be in a wreck yesterday that I flat spotted my front tires to avoid in a totally useless situation. Now imagine driving a Semi with a population of people that drive like that on the road.

We have every kind of islander you can imagine. Most of them are decent drivers I will tell it like this, one day I was at an intersection and a little old Chrysler K-car rode by with 2 haitians in it. One was driving with is head out of the driver's side window, the other was hunched under the open hood pouring fuel into the carb out of a 2 gal. gas can as the car went by. I just watched and turned to a friend riding with me and said yep it's haitian fuel injection. he looked back and said yep. (now in any other part of the country, wouldn't people find that odd, but notice we didn't)
Another day I was driving on I 95 in Pompano. I was in the middle lane, there was a Haitian in the right lane talking on a cell phone. He rode next to me for a while and then started slowly drifting right into the Emergency lane. He kept drifting and drifting and the concrete 10 ft wide support pole of the overpass he went under went right through his car. Cut it right in half. I didn't even stop because I was looking right at him as he hit it and without going into extremely gory details, he was dead. No question about it. I have a million more haitian driving stories but these two stand out in my mind at the moment.
Did I mention I have 2 flat spotted tires because of an idiot hatian cutting me off in front of a parked bus and then slamming his brakes. My tires will be in stock tomorrow but my car isn't much fun to drive like that. It will be a bumpy ride to the tire shop. If my Prelude had ABS like most do, I would have hit him.

Reminds me of my late friend Daven "Sarge" Taggart who spent much of his life on the road and loving America.

Kinda stands out for a trucker, doesn't it? I mean, this guy HAS to do the speed limit, go into all the Weigh Stations... State Troopers notice tis stuff, too.

But it IS a beautiful paint job..

This trucker reminds me of a couple that I met at the tea party here in San Diego. They were partners of the road and real patriots!
