Flat tire on a big scale

Bang!

Me: "What was that sound?"

Mentor: "We blew out a tire.  No biggie."

I guess when you have eighteen, losing one isn't too big of a deal.

Truck Stop Stories

We saw a lot of cops at our truck stop earlier this week. The best one was when a guy called the cops because he'd given a guy $100 for some marijuana and the dealer gave him herbs. For some reason this guy thought the cops would care that he got cheated out of some drugs.

Application

I'm working on a TSA application for clearance to carry loads from the San Pedro port.

It asks my hair color- there are 14 options. Blue, pink, purple, orange and unknown are some of them.

Eye color options- 10. Obvious ones plus maroon, pink, multicolor and unknown.

Who exactly do they think is applying for this?

Amish Wal-Mart

We had to kill a day about an hour outside of Philadelphia last week. So, what does a truck driver do to kill time? Go to the nearby Wal-Mart about 15 times. This Wal-Mart wasn't your typical Wally World though- they had parking designated for horse and buggies. I actually saw an Amish man, come up in a horse and buggy, "park," pull out his cell phone, send a text and then walk into Wal-Mart.
