My rule of thumb is out of sight out of mind! Trying to mingle with stars is a job killer, so I've never really dealt with any of them. It's production managers and the like that can be real babies. I just try to keep a thick skin about it.

Have you ever destroyed anything, like a bridge or a gas station canopy with your trailer? How common is that?

It's fairly common. I came around a corner too quick when I first started driving and clipped a concrete barrier with my trailer tires. It was 3k in damage to the trailer.

How bruised up do your testicles get from sitting all day? I'm not being funny but I've heard that a lot of truckers are diagnosed with prostate problems because of this. :huh:

Diana

Mine feel fine! I've heard the same thing though. Since I am in the entertainment industry I drive about half (1500 miles a week average as opposed to 2500-3000). I get to move around more than most.

Do you ever work out with any of the wrestlers? Where do they work out at?

Your truck....is it your truck? Also, the sleeper compartment - do you have wireless internet? Is it comfy and cozy?

All drivers refer to the truck they are driving as "my truck"! Some own them (owner operators), but most don't. The truck I drive is a company truck. I am not disciplined, or crazy enough to own one!

My internet access is provided by the lovely people at Sprint. I have an aircard that I pay $60.00 a month for. It's worth every penny! How else would I converse with the likes of Kaydee?

The sleeper berth sucks, but it's not really that bad. Every time I start feeling sorry for myself I think of the people I saw in Vietnam last year. Most of them would kill for the life I lead. At the same time I am working on my exit strategy. This lifestyle is hard and I hope I will be able to leave it soon.

:lol: Sorry, but I really don't have anything there. I can tell you that if one did piss me off enough I'd run straight here and tell everybody.

good thread and interesting stuff...thanks...

Peace to All creatures great and small............................................

But when we turn to the Hebrew literature, we do not find such jokes about the donkey. Rather the animal is known for its strength and its loyalty to its master (Genesis 49:14; Numbers 22:30).

The WWE is our biggest client. I have worked several of their shows, but stayed away from them (once again JOB KILLER). I don't know where they work out at.

Who makes the best trucks?

Edited by Aficionado

According to the Internal Revenue Service, the 400 richest American households earned a total of $US138 billion, up from $US105 billion a year earlier. That's an average of $US345 million each, on which they paid a tax rate of just 16.6 per cent.
