Biden raises eyebrows with claim he 'used to drive' 18-wheeler truck
Fox News ^ | July 29, 2021 | Houston Keene

Forty-eight-year political veteran President Biden raised eyebrows on Wednesday when he claimed to have driven an 18-wheeler truck — a claim the White House struggled to defend.

Biden was visiting a Mack Truck facility in Pennsylvania when he made the claim to have driven the massive trucks before, which require a special kind of license.

"I used to drive an 18-wheeler, man," Biden said on Wednesday in a video posted to Twitter. "I got to."

There is scant evidence that Biden has ever driven an 18-wheeler truck.

When asked if the president had ever driven such a truck, a White House spokesperson pointed to a December 1973 article from the Wilmington Evening Journal that showed Biden rode in an 18-wheeler on a 536-mile haul to Ohio.

Fox News pressed the spokesperson about the president’s claim – noting that riding in a truck is not the same as driving one – at which point the president's spokesperson pointed to a United Federation of Teachers post that touched on Biden driving a school bus in the past as a summer job.

The majority of school buses, on average, "have two axles, with the bigger models having two wheels on the front axle and four wheels on the dual axle, for a total of six wheels," according to SchoolBusFleet.com.

Fox News pressed again about the president’s claim, pointing out that a school bus is not the same as an 18-wheeler truck, but did not receive a response by publishing time.

Maybe it is the mislabeled vaccination.

He’s confused, he meant he had a Rubber Duck in his bedtime bath to play with every night:

Was the dark of the moon on the sixth of June
In a Kenworth pullin’ logs
Cab-over Pete with a reefer on
And a Jimmy haulin’ hogs
We is headin’ for bear on I-one-oh
‘Bout a mile outta Shaky Town
I says, “Pig Pen, this here’s the Rubber Duck
“And I’m about to put the hammer down”

That's nothing. John Kasich's dad used to deliver mail.

My girlfriend drove a school bus while she was in High School. She’s never once said she drove a semi-truck.

I’ve ridden cross country in an 18 wheeler. I have no business in the driver’s seat.

He’s saving that lie for when he visits a NASA facility.

That could be a Fisher-Price choo-choo.

I drive an 18 wheeler truck. I doubt Biden even knows what air brakes are, probably thinks it’s someone who holds their breath. And his party can go F itself with this DEF fluid crap, biggest freakin’ scam to ever hit the trucking industry

Maybe, in his dementia, he’s associating a guilt complex to his wife getting killed by 18 wheeler?
