We are not pet people so if that makes us terrible, I guess that’s what we are. That was actually a compatibility marker when my current wife and I met.

Do horse drawn vehicles count?My grandparents had a vehicle that was all wood.

Not derogatory when used with affection. And we love our Newfies.

I once had a semi trailer packed full of helium balloons and it did not lighten the trailer one bit. Tue story.

The ones I can remember off the top of my head, 82 Mazda pickup truck, 88 Chevy Baretta, 91 F150. Probably forgetting a couple.

I don't believe the proportion of assholes among truckers is any more or less than the general population. We are just regular folks after all. It's just that when a trucker is an asshole, it is on display for all to see. Speed limiters exist for good reasons, but they can cause no end of frustration for both those driving speed limited vehicles and every one else that has to cope with them. The keep right except to pass rule, whether written or implied.is a good way to keep order, but when drivers don't seem to know what the gas pedal is for when accessing on ramps, keeping to the right lane in dense traffic is stressful in a large vehicle. I spent the last couple of years of my career pulling double 53 footers on the Detroit/Windsor to Montreal corridor through some of the busiest traffic in North America. Our speed limiters were set at 90 kmh (56mph) so even asking politely for a lane change when you are 130 ft long travelling at a substantially slower speed than the traffic flow was pointless. All you can do is keep the right lane and watch every vehicle merging from the right for signs that they were going to panic and run themselves out of room rather than just getting on the gas and getting out there. There are times when inconveniencing other traffic is just unavoidable, and I have been the recipient of the one finger salute on occasion. However, my motto as a professional driver with regard to the motoring public was, your convenience is not my primary concern. Your safety is.

The solution to the truck problem is simple. Just stop buying stuff.

Happy birthday 🎂 Jim.

I think you get a pass on bacon quiche.

As long as you don’t eat quiche, everything else can be overlooked.

Gotta occupy your time somehow, so why not get paid for at least part of it.

Remember Click and Clack? A haircut meant something entirely different to those guys.

Happy birthday 🥳

I suppose you will be able to take over control in an emergency?

Why not?

Will it keep you off work for a while?

Why didn’t you get them all cut at once?
