Any other Truckers on this site? If so I'd like to meet you and play a game of chess.
Originally posted by slimjimI hate to break it to you but you may be. Just see yourself as unique. Anyway, I hve a question. How does that work for you? Do you make moves while driving down the road? Plug in at a truckstop? Radio a move in? Just curious. Thanks.
Well surely I'm not the only truckdriver on this site.:'(
Originally posted by kirksey957I usually make moves at a truckstop. Before I dropped my laptop I have wireless internet service and I would make the moves in my truck when I stopped for the night or during a meal break.

Ever see the guys from Horsless Carriage? They ship cars all over. I see one of them guys once a year at a car show in Hershey Pa.... and he's a nice enough guy. His rig has all the stuff. Sleep 4 if you needed and satilite tv. Nice rig.
Good money, hey? The guy was going to pay his truck off in 5 years and finished almost 2 years early.

I have driven everything but tractor trailer...van, stretch van, box van. step van, and straight truck....don't know if that counts...drive a forklift now...and a F150 on short trips
😏😏
I know of 3 forklifts that went into the water at Pt. Judith... I got to see one. (Not my bad!!!!)
30 or 35 degree angle leading down a wet dock, and you either go straight or take the corner... you can't go half way!
I said, "That's why I wanted to drive"!
I hear one of the forks that went in took thousands of dollars worth of fish with it on the way back from the boat. That has got to suck. One of the guys who did it just plain got scared and bailed out halfway down... tsk.
Other fun fork lift stories include "ouch, my toes", and "Hey, is it bad that I just tipped your Airfreight Can of Lobster over"?
