Default Newbies: the Real Universal laws of trucking

aaand ... they arent what you think

1. if it's in the truck it will end up on the floor
2. if it has a cord you Will eventually trip over it
3. This will ruin the cord.. unless you have a backup
4. if you have a backup the receptacle will break
5. That day youve finally had enough and cut off the fat housewife who seems determined to kill yiou her husband, the state trooper will be a mile away.. at the weigh station. He will not be amused.
6. That day you decide to finally do an honest to god pti.. 3 marker lights will go out while you're driving
7. 60 seconds after you leave the weigh station with your nifty new csa points... they'll start working again
8. 97.284353% of breakdowns occur on your run home
9. No driver in recorded history has ever broken down on the way to pick up a load he hates with a burning passion
10. Unless they could reschedule it in such a way that he got awful miles that week and be stuck out
11. immediately after you curse your dispatcher for not messaging you that XXXXXX happened.. your phone/qualcom will get 4 bars and blow up w messages and missed calls
12. That perfect week when you are set to recieve your best check ever your last load will cancel and or the truck break down
13. The refridgerator wont fit.
14. Al trucks have gremlins. Their sole food source is ink pens.

15. ICC bumpers and liftgates draw four-wheelers like crap draws flies.
16. Cup-holders don't live up to their name.
17. During the last 10 miles of driving to a place, there won't be a soul on the road, but as soon as you start to back in off the street, EVERYbody shows up... and they're all in a hurry.
18. Air conditioning does not fail in the summer, and heat does not fail in the winter.
19. No set of sheets known to man will fit on the mattress correctly.
