How do lot Lizards ruin your truck?
 

I herd that there are lizards at truck stops that can effect the performance of an engine by getting stuck. I was told they like the warm heat of the engine and they can effect the performance of your engine.

Is this true?

Yes it is true!
The heat of the ...engine.. should be sealed in latex to prevent unwanted seepage into other areas. 8)

:P ...Nawah... my bumper/grill stops them before they get as far as my motor. :lol:

they will affect the performance of something alright!!!

Funny post I guess :)

I have heard a few isolated cases where they would rip seals off of your trailer. That wouldnt be a good situation.

Leave the lizards alone...You will end up catching something that pine sol and a brillo pad couldnt get rid of. :twisted:

Yes Sir
 

Thought you all would get a laugh out of that! :P

Driving in snow today on my way to school. This ought to be fun!

When I first read the title of this thread I thought it was a serious question.

I've heard that if some lizards feel that they have been mistreated, (not paid), or became angry at the driver for some reason, that the lizard, or their pimp would damage the truck in some way. Cut your air line or electrical wires, flat tires, pull fifth wheel release, contaminate fuel by some method, etc., or even a physical attack when you are out of the truck. By virture of the culture they live in, violence is an everyday fact of life for many of them.

Has anyone experienced any sabotage like this ?

Excuse me! I mean, do you know any other driver this has happened to ?

I know a guy whose friends, brothers, cousin, was sitting in a TS diner, and over heard a conversation
about a trucker who gave a lizard $10 to wax his helmet, and expected change back.

The lizard refused to give any change back, so he made the lizard bark like a dog, spanked it,
and flip it over several times, and sold the movie to some Underground XXX Video store in Missouri
....and titled the movie... "Reptiles Wet and Wild" :?

roadhog,

I don't doubt, even for a minute, the veracity of the event as told by you.

I also have no doubt that the original trucker told of this actual event while seated at the "Drivers only" counter and began his narrative of this true happening with the phrase "now this ain't no sh!t".

I am impressed by the trucker who saw the opportunity to become a movie star, producer and distributor. Indeed, a fine example of American entrepreneurship to which all truckers can aspire.

Opportunities abound ! What a country !

:lol: :lol: :lol: this is great!!
never had a problem turning any lizard down, just nicly say sorry I'm broke and they move on, there just trying to make a living too!(talk about a job that really SUCKS :!: )

that always works for me too. I say. okay, but I dont have any money, I never hear from them again

I had a load of beer broken into. I can't prove it was a lot lizard, though. All I know is that she knocked on my door when I was working on paperwork, then disappeared behind the row of trucks. About an hour later, I saw her walking across the lot, and she wasn't putting one foot in front of the other very well. Later, I found my seal broken and one pallet of cases in disarray. But, now, prove it was her.

i've used one of 2 responses. Sorry no money, or my herpes (which I don't have) is active.

Good Lord son, you just ain't right :shock: :wink:

Yeah, but you have to give him a good grade on "Originality"!! :mrgreen:

well they probably really like the warm heat of something else most cant have :lol:

:withstupid: OMG is this for real?? :lol: :roll:

If a Lizard does damage something on your truck, you can find it in the pre-trip the next morning. I would look at the lights, chassis, axles and airlines. They likely wouldn't go after the engine, because if they open or close the hood you would hear that and go out to check it out, but I'd check the engine any way.

the biggest one is usually the fuel caps being removed and some times something poured into the tanks to cause damage, or your air lines being cut. i have had both done when after about the 5th time i got woke up at night i got a lil upset and told her where to go and how to get there in a not to nice voice.. next morning i woke up did my PT and found both of my air lines had been cut in half and 1 of my fuel tank caps was off in the pouring rain. bad thing about it was that my cab fairings are places just right to let the water run right into the fuel tank on the drivers side of the truck.

my truck was not runnig during the night so i had the truck towed to the nearest freightliner dealer where the tank was drained and dryed and i was back on my way. i didnt want to chance having that much water in the fuel and try to run the motor.

needles to say my fuel tank has now been rotated about 3 inches upward so this would not happen again.

Hmmmm ever get ...thats okay baby ...i got herpies too ? that would suck ( no pun ) I think if i ever get out there Ill stick to the no money thing ...or askif she'll do my dog for an extra 5.oo ...

Another thing ..they now make IR powered security cams ...saw a pack at sams ...I wonder if you could get Vid on your trailers if that would be worth the investment against vandalisim ???

Any thoughts ???

I parked at a truck stop in ARK somewere and went got a shower and some food. I came back and the a real young lizard cutie came up hoped on my steps and asked me this.

How much you willing to pay me to do what you want with me.. I said i don't know let me ask my wife and yelled for her.. Never knew a lizard could jump and move so fast was extremly funny.. :twisted:

They usually leave my cab smelling like a French whore house (not that I’d know what one smells like :wink: )

Or this conversation

“Hey mister how ‘bout a date? only 50 bucks”
“hey, I’ve got my wife in here with me”
“oh….well, for an extra 50 I’ll do her too”







Best 100 bucks I’ve ever spent

She might be able to suck a bowling ball through a straw but the consequenses may be long term :sad:

No joke here. When i was training for Schneider my trainer and I took a 10 hour break in FT Wayne,In. There is a big truck stop there and my trainer told me a few years earlier there was a big prostitution sting there and the feds nailed like 12 prostitutes........8-9 of them had AIDS.

.

the police still set stings up there a lot. i used to drive through there everyday and i was always hearing about it on the radio. drivers gettin hauled out of there trucks or lizzards getting thrown in the back of a cop car..

was never a dull moment around there seemed like

Hmmmmm... I didnt get bothered much out there... maybe cus im female??? if thats the case can i sue for discrimination :?: :?: :?: :shock:
