WHOOP! Dere it is!!!!!


RR

 

Wake me up when this is over.

 

well, be sure to tell on anybody that you can. its a matter of national security.

 

Greg {and everyone els} I am soooooo embarassed I wound up the poser,I will do my best not to do it again.
BTW an example of a poser is a person that shows up to Sturgis in their BMW and call themselves a biker or gets on a trucking web site never have been behind the wheel of a truck and call themseleves a driver which the starter of this BS thread is most certainly not, so go away to the how gives a crap web site.
oops,did I do it again????

 

Ray's been on this site for years. He's the regular Chad Sexington of CBing. He's harmless, if a bit on the annoying side at times, and doesn't break any rules by being here. As long as he is willing to take the heat that comes back at him, I'm not going to run him out of town.

 

I would hate to think what he would say about my old Cobra then with that hot final in it then. Last time I had it checked it measured it hit 50 watts.

 

This is the first time I've ever heard of a CR Radio Fetish!! :shock:

 

Oh? NEVER been behind the wheel of a truck? HA! Um..............would a 45 foot 3 tandem axle, lowboy hauling military equipment such as Jeeps, duece n' a half's, 1 ton trailers, jeep trailers,
and command center trailers qualify???? Had ONE accident in all my driving 30 years ago when a car crossed the center line and hit me almost head on. US Marine fell asleep, came around a curve where I had just pulled out of a service station 1/2 mile back, crossed the center line and came at me. I was a sitting duck, as I was crawling along with a full load (different flat trailer) of trailers and one Jeep. I was still at 25 MPH and in 3rd/high range. I knew there was going to be a bad hit, but I didn't know HOW bad! :cry: He heard my air horn, woke up at the last second, swerved, then hit me right beneath my driver's door. The truck's left drive tire climbed UP the hood of the Ford, the car went on UNDER the trailer. took the boy's scalp clean off killing him instantly, AND turning my truck over on its side with the trailer in the ditch. The car's speed was estimated by the trooper to be around 75-80 as he had been asleep and mashed the gas until he woke up for the last time in his young life. The impact was so severe, it "scooted" the left rear spring clean OUT of the U clamp! :shock: I had a scratch on my head where I (I think) hit the inside door trim, which was metal, and a bump/scrape on my elbow. I climbed out the driver's door and hopped down with the front wheel still turning. My load was STILL dogged down sitting slighty askew, but I didn't lose one piece. I went thru 3 military inquiries as it involved USAF and USMC (the soldier who was killed). I was exonerated completely as I was WELL inside my lane and the short skid marks told the tale: 3 feet inside the yellow line and headed TOWARDS the ditch in an attempt to avoid the car. But there was no way to get out of the way as I was still getting underway after stopping to put air in a tire.

It was a horrible, horrible wreck, one that, after completing that assignment driving some passenger busses, I decided that I didn't want to do that anymore, so I simply didn't choose that as a civilian career. The trucks I drove were military Dodges, International, and GMC. Some gas, some diesel. All with two and three speed axles.

I still remember that day. Memorial Day Sunday, 1977. You can't arbitrarily say someone has "never" driven a truck. I drove everything from a farm tractor as a kid, to a 90 passenger GMC school bus, to International road tractors! LOL! You'll have to try harder than that! LMAO! Now git outta them 10 Meters! :wink:

RR

 

So, THAT explains your brain damage and your CB Radio fetish!! :P :P

Quite a story, nice to know that you can talk about something besides CB's!! :roll:

 

To be in the comedy section it has to be funny. This I propose should be in the tragedy section because it is so sad.
