18 Wheels Of Love

Yeah, I'm pretty much a badass now. I'm a trucker. I drove a 26 ft Penske Truck across five states. Let me tell you what that means. Not only do you pull up to truck stops to fill up with gas, you pull up to the TRUCKER side of the truck stop. You go in the TRUCK ONLY entrance and you fill up with DIESEL. The joke's on you commoners because those big diesel pumps fill a 50 gallon tank in 30 seconds flat...with no spillage. Once I finished with the tank, I pulled up a few feet so some of my new found brethren could pull in and fill up theirs. I swear to you if my wife ever lets me grow a mustache, I'll be bona fide. Truckers get me man. I'm pretty sure they wanted to hangout with me and have arm wrestling matches. I was talking trucker strategy with guys named Buzz, Bull, Grizzly, Cletus and a guy that looked like my old ice cream man named Judd. They kept telling me how cool I was because I had a visor on and they looked up to that. I just let them know that even when a visor is turned backwards, it's like flipping a switch and you go over the top dude. If you don't get that, find out what it means. Then learn it, live it, and love it. I'm thinking of moving from a Penske on up to a Peterbilt but that might have to wait on the mustache. We'll see...
