MM, do you remember that not the 9 o clock news skit about trucking? The 'I Love Trucking' song? That is still one of my all time favorite skits. Just loved how everytime they mowed something down in the truck they'd stick a sticker of it on the door sort of like, keeping track lol.

I'm a cyclist and I learn to respect El Trucker... Although the ones driving in the early hours of the morning tend to be keener to dim their lights etc when they notice me on my bicycle.. more than I can say for some cars. Some do give you the impression that they take aim but then... so do some motorists so you cannot ever generalize and say they all suck etc. Depends on the person behind the wheel.

It's true without truckers there would be a bunch of stuff laying around rotting, rusting, not getting built, or loosing potentcy  and not helping anyone. I apprciate a trucker, and the major role they play in our economy.       ron h wrote:     CHEERS MM!!!!  I trucked for 13 years, now I load and un-load them...what would happen without 'em??!!      METAL MELTDOWN wrote: One of their "heavy loads" delivered the car you drive to the dealership you bought it from, delivered the computer you type on to the store and the groceries which gave you the energy to type your post.  Lets ban trucks and save the roads for you 4 wheelers and see how long you survive without the everyday staples in which you live on!!  yes, I am in trucking!!      Dale T. wrote: Truck drivers!
