CLAIM: President Joe Biden recently aired his oft-repeated claim he “used to Drive an 18-wheeler.”
VERDICT: False.
“Biden’s claim remains untrue. There is no evidence he ever drove an 18-wheeler,” CNN reported Wednesday:
Biden has repeatedly embellished or invented biographical tidbits. In 2021, he claimed during a tour of a Mack Trucks facility: “I used to drive an 18-wheeler, man,” then added, “I got to.” At a separate 2021 event, he told college students studying truck technology, “I used to drive a tractor-trailer,” adding, “I only did it for part of a summer, but I got my license anyway.”
Biden’s claims were fact-checked at the time as false. But on Tuesday, during a campaign event in Florida, Biden said it again.
…
When CNN inquired about the claim in 2021, the White House noted that Biden once had a part-time job driving a school bus (which is not an 18-wheeler or a tractor-trailer) and that, as a US senator in 1973, he spent a night riding in a cargo truck (not driving it).
It is Biden’s second time in two weeks that he suggested a false idea, after first airing the truck story in 2021, as Breitbart News reported.

It’s not funny anymore.
It was out in front of the supermarket his mother used to take her little Joey to. You put a nickel in it and it would go up and down.
He drove the Greek/Puerto Rican family to church in the driving cancer rain in a semi.
“…the White House noted that Biden once had a part-time job driving a school bus..”
How many school kids got groped while getting on and off of THAT bus???
Joe must’ve had a FIELD DAY!!
Sure he used to drive one ... how else could he get to Corn Pop’s ice cream shop?
Dan rather: “Fake but Accurate!”
Biden has an imagination going wild!
Biden is confusing having once seen an 18 wheeler on the interstate with driving it with Cornpop riding shotgun
Joe Biden has led the most colorful life, has he not? What adventures he has had! At least in his mind, that is.
.
I think he meant he pulled a train.
I never was an inner city lifeguard and never had to fight Corn Pop. &nsbp; He was a bad dude.
I KNOW FOR SURE JOE CANNOT HANDLE A 6-UP HITCH which is common for a stagecoach.
