Ah yeah, "shutup stupid". That's my favorite, short and to the point and guaranteed to get the guy on the other end all riled up.

Kinda sucks when you get stuck in that mode and come home and it slips while the wife is ranting though...

:shock: Oooooops! :lol:

yup, i said samething wildk9

Thanks for all the replies! I'll be looking that stuff up...

10-4 hand :wink:

Years ago "good buddy" went from good to something to fight over.....is it still that way? :lol:

Let's just say you don't want to use that term by the pickle parks.

That's what I thought.

You know, I've been reading posts here and I'm seeing stuff that seems to be purely internet-based, or at least stuff you wouldn't necessarily hear on a CB.

The CB stuff was very cool, but I don't think it covers all the stuff I'm looking for. Don't ask what I need help with, because that stuff just comes up... I don't always remember. :P

What's "HHR"? It seems to be moving van work, but what does it stand for? My brain isn't working at that well right now...

Do you hear anything anymore but idiots going "I ain't got no panties on?" :evil:
You probably mean HHG. Household goods. Those are the guys who deal with all the bitchy people who scream when you bump a table on the way out a door that's too narrow for it. Everybody else out here calls them bedbuggers, and they seem to keep to themselves.

I actually got into trucking because of bedbugging. I was a college student working for a temp agency, and one of my temp jobs was to run with Mayflower for a few days as a lumper. Um. Mover. Day laborer. Whatever. It was the first time I ever saw the inside of a big truck, and it planted the seed.

Anyway, here's another one for you. Nobody seems to know what a stick hauler is except other stick haulers. We don't haul logs.

Um. THEY don't haul logs. They haul furniture. Dressers, beds, sofas, futons

Most people seem to think I mean logs when I say I hauled sticks for 10 years. Nope. Furniture.

I'm not a stick hauler anymore, but I'm still a stick hauler at heart. Stick haulers and bedbuggers are both about half crazy I think. We have a lot in common, but they have to deal with this crap *after* it's out of the boxes. I don't envy them.

Deal with THAT crap, I mean. Right. I'm a freighthauler now.

There's another one. I don't know what the rest of the world calls what, but stick haulers call all those heavy ass dragonfly trucks (especially the LTL trucks with the 200 HP motors built in 1973 that can't pull a hill without dropping six gears) freight haulers. "There goes a freight hauler."

I don't know if I'm a freight hauler now by stick hauler standards or not. I run heavy stuff, but my truck has a lot of ass, so I can still run like a stick hauler if I want to.

We're the people yelling at you to get the hell out of the way at the top of the mountain when you're doing 45 mph and we're still doing 62 mph.
