I unload trucks for a living,get ‘em back on the road as soon as possible.
Truck porn!
Great post. Thanks.
To truckers, thanks for what you do. Good sharing the road with you, and keep safe.
Like so many of the working poor, they could do better on welfare. Hell, why fight it? Just knuckle under, give up your soul and independence, stick out your hand and give your jailer your vote. It won’t hurt a bit. Trade freedom for a lifetime of servitude. Great deal.
All those rich folks can pay and pay. You deserve to get an equal share of the pie, a piece of the good life.
For your prize the jailer will give you food stamps, section 8 housing, all the free medical care you care to wait for, “job” training, a little spending money, child care so your children can learn to love the servitude you have brought them into and so on.
You’re making $30k a year now, paying taxes, no benefits, the kids have little or nothing. Come on man, what are you stupid? Swallow your pride, your dignity, your independence, your FREEDOM. Sign up with the MAN, it won’t hurt a bit. All your sap buddies can pay you now!
Sounds like slavery doesn’t it? Sounds like a deal with the Devil doesn’t it?
That is because it is. It is a ponzi scheme, a lie and cheating.
I’ve driven those, most of the rigs I drove were cab-over tractors pulling sets of doubles. Triples were starting to be used when I retired, in early ‘86.
I am a truckers son, my father drove big rigs most of his life, he grew up in a dirt floor shack in Arkansas, he was marine Corp, he was a big big man and called “Big John”.
But I was the nerd, the geek yet antisocial, I turned out to possess phenomenal mechanical skills.
For over 4 decades I worked on trucks.
However being a mechanic led to me also having to operate certain big rigs and for the last 16 years I have been both a heavy equipment mechanic and a concrete mixer operator, and in my locality many contractors will refer to me as being of the most professional. And I have a perfect commercial drivers record.
Yet every day I see drivers in all forms of vehicles that for all intents and purposes are latent road ragers, doesn’t matter the age or sex, when they are forced to give way to a slow heavy vehicle on a long 8% grade on a two lane winding road like I have in Alaska they don’t care about safety not one bit at all.
being also a motorcyclist I see it from both extremes. Its a cold war and the common enemy comes down to the idiots that think they own the road, they can do whatever they wish, have no idea of consequences when they are distracted, and all the more lately is the outlet of economic frustration is being played out on the highways.
In summary, its Obamas fault.
