I know, because real pros dont use the brake pedal, they'd rather make an unsafe condition on the road when the PROFESSIONAL thing is to just (protect your virgin ears) slow down a mile or two an hour for 10-15 seconds. If you still find yourself gaining on the faster truck going downhill, then by all means pass him/her back.

what gets me are how so many drivers get all butt-hurt because they cannot fathom the idea of slowing down for a few seconds. They'd rather not only p!ss off the passing driver, but the dozen or so 4-wheelers who now are backed up in traffic. Nice job, Pro.

OMG!!! And they gave this guy a CDL??? :eek2::hellno:

I am continually amazed at how many drivers used to be in the black ops world.

I'd comment but it's classified and I'd have to kill you. Let me think about it while I take the secret military load that I can't get out of the truck to look at and the shipping papers don't detail, drive it to a military base while having a helicopter escort and blow by all the weigh stations, back it into a cavern under a mountain and still not get out to see what it is.

Menu? Real pros eat the buffet. 3 times a day until their belly hangs over their pants and the entire truck shifts when they get in and out.

Someone may have already said this, I may have over looked it..
I've always like the sound of a jake brake when you have a set of straights. The thing that makes those guys look like a pro, is when you see someone with a set of straights, with the jake brake turned on, pulling a flatbed with nothing on it. :roll: :lol:

dont forget their gut hangs over their pants/belt, then wear a t-shirt thats too short to cover everything, and they pretend if they cant see it, neither can you.

Fred that post had me in tears from laughing!! May I add afew....

Always whizz in bottles whenever possible, then when you get out at the truckstop (preferably in Yuma Arizona in July when it's 130 in the shade), dump all bottles right next to the truck aside of you, so he can enjoy the fruits of your labor. In a pinch it is also ok to whizz on your tandems while parked 30' from a restroom.

Also, toss all of your garbage directly out your window onto the ground, as you ARE a pro, and people should be more than happy to pick up after you.

Tell anyone who questions anything you do while behind the wheel that you've driven more miles in reverse than they will ever drive going foward and to mind their own freaking business, least you unleash a swirling torrent of misery on their sorry behinds (all the special op training you had back in the day)

Well, one true fact is... There are a few Seals that are now driving trucks. And, for that matter, I'd like to know how you can tell if they have actually been in or not. After all, Mr. Rogers, of "Mr Roger's Neighborhood" fame was a Seal. And, I've met about 3 guys, that YES, I know for a fact they were Seals. But, there's little doubt that the members of that elite are few and far between. So, I have no idea how many of these you have met, or how many times you've met the same guy.

I'm afraid that statement is not true.
