I had an awesome post going but I lost it so I'll try to recreate it. SOB that pisses me off. I was ranting about how trashy the people in my profession are. They use their job as an excuse. Just wander through your local truckstop. I am in Houston now at the F.J. I just went in to get something to eat before I head back to my trailer. These places are like going to a fair. Its like having every state and a few Canadian provinces at your fair. As I walked out I saw a feller wearing a shirt that said, and I quote "Born to fish". It was kind of brownish, I'm sure it was white three days ago when his trip started, and it had a hole big enough for a marlin to swim through. My thought was, has he not stopped anywhere with a shower? If you were to ask him the reasons they would satisfy the un-educated traveler. To me however they would be bull. The funny thing is many drivers and companies wonder why their industry has such a bad image. How many drivers beside me would you take a hug from at any given moment? Sometimes I think you would even turn me away. There is no excuse for this lack of self-respect. I refuse to call myself a "truckdriver". As a way to kill two birds with one stone I will ask my loyal readers (you know who all three of you are) to come up with a new catchy name for my profession. The second bird is I will actually find out how many people read this selfish crap. Man the first post was sooo much better this one blows. Well since my computer is about to set my pants on fire I will call this good. Toodle-oo, don't drive drunk, don't do anything I wouldn't do, but if you must please name it after me. :-)
P.S. I know my grammar and punctuation is not perfect. Thats probably because I spent the mojarity of my senior year of english in the hall. My brain often goes fater than my finger, I struggle to get it down let alone to Mrs. Barlow's standards. Don't judge me I'm just a truckdriver :-) Pretty good huh?
