Mr Truck Driver Man


Rod took me and the kids for a ride in his Rig. That's one smooth machine.

Hey Rod, you and my Brother Dave must have past paths now and then. He drove a big rig for many years out of Idaho!

Yea Rod, form one trucker to another, Hi.
I spent many years (20) driving, with too many million miles in my back pocket. Out of the 48, I have been in all but Vermont, New Hamshire, Rhoad Island and Florida.
That looks like a preety new Freightliner Centery. That red is farmiliar collor. Who do you drive for. I would guess US Express or England. I am probably wrong.

I have drove for Doug Andrus Dist. out of Idaho Falls, Id. After breaking my back, I now work in the shop office.

Good to see you.

Ric Larson said...

No Dave, thats not an England, England is registered out of Utah I think. (Although I am not a certified trucker, but I slept in a Holiday Inn Express last night)!

DRL said...

I don't know, but the poor guy has a NY sticker on the bumper.

Ric Larson said...

I am so, so sorry to hear that (from a guy that lives in New York). But those are not New York or Utah Plates. Nice Rig though! Looks simular to the one you piloted!

DRL said...

Rod, as you meander about this great country of ours, stop by some time. Dave has my email, let me know when you would be in south east Idaho.

Rod said...

Hey Dave and Ric! Well, for the info, its not an England Dave, I drive out of Florida, and have to have the NY HUT sticker to pass thru, or del..I don't mind upstate, but wont do the city..Its bad enuff on the G.W..I'm pushing on 7 years, and ready to fold it up..Trying to find a 'good'local job, but hard to find in Fl..
I'll give ya a shout next time thru Id..

Rod, I have been doing the cummute back and forth (in a 4 wheeler)since 2 weeks ago. The G.W. sucks always! God bless any pro driver in a big rig that comes around this area.

DRL said...

Rod, I know. I took a load out about 60 mi. north of NY City to see Ric and his wounderful wife Terisa(I alway spell it wrong). I ended up loading out of the city. I know!!! I do have a picture crossing the upper deck of the GW.

Rod said...

Ya DRL, your right, there are great foto opps up there, and U always have time to take several pics, cause your STOPPED!!

Ric Larson said...

Try sitting stopped on the GW when you have to take a wiz! Seconds pass, then minutes, then maybe an hour, and your still stuck on the bridge and your wiz is about to explode! All of the sudden you see an empty soda can...and the rest of the storyis...one big smile!

I wont comment on whizzing on the lower deck folks..Next time thru Sac, I'll try and squeeze my trailer into Daves T-stop..Should only stick out on the street a tad.:)
