(in a low southern drawl ...ah...tin..fo-wer thar good buddEE, keep the shy nee sahd uup an the darty sahd down, ketch you on the flip - flop. Say hel-lo to good 'ol Kris Kristopherson in thet micro mini bus fer me will ya? I gone. (Oops - I think I just showed my age - seeing that I saw "Convoy" at the theater. 8))

I can't lie - I'm from the San Francisco, Bay Area - but ON THE OAKLAND SIDE - and I don't like thongs uglymutt- they ride up too far :lol:

I was at work today and a tear started runnin' down my cheek when a Swift combo rolled on by. (ok go ahead - you have a tear running down yer cheek everyime you see a Swift Truck rollin by too - but for me, at least for now - its for a completely different reason.)

3 Weeks and counting...

yup you must be old, I remember that movie, and I still sing the song, good old CW McCall, I will put the old 8 track in the deck and we can all sing along...yeah I will be the rubber duck.... okay lets all sing...

It was the dark of the moon
On the sixth of June
And a Kenworth pullin logs
Cab over Pete with a refer on
And a Jimmy haulin hogs
We was headin' for bear
On I-10
Bout a mile out Shakey Town
I says Pig Pen this here's the Rubber Duck
And I'm about to put the hammer down

Cause we got a little ole convoy
Rockin through the night
Yeah we got a little ole convoy
Ain't she a beautiful sight
Cmon and join our Convoy
Ain't nothin gonna get in our way
We gonna roll this truckin convoy
Cross the USA
Convoy

Yea, I have always loved that song. I would love to find a CD or tape of some of the old trucking songs of that era. Convoy was on TV not too long ago. That sure brought back memories. Not that I am that old or anything. :roll: Drivers don't use the term "convoy" much any more. They call a convoy a "train." I still prefer "convoy." :wink: OH YEA!! Hammer down. Put the pedal to the metal, rubber ducky. We got ourselves a CONVOY! Oops......sorry. I suppose that I got caught up in the moment. :P

Hey Mutt, I have that song on my Sirius list and it lets me know whenever it comes on!!!

10-4 Good buddy!!!!

I had some wack job singing convoy to me on I80 a couple months ago.


first thing over the cb...


"it was the dark of the moon"

then a minute later


"on the fifth of june"

another two minutes later

"in a kenworth pulling logs"

another minute

"cabover pete with a reefer on"


by this point i`m gettin quite amused/annoyed so I inform the psychopath those are drill pipes not logs and my name isn`t CW McCall, and i`m not interested in being serenaded by a trucker. :lol:




oh and i`d keep your comments about drivers attire to yourself when your actually out on the road :wink:

You all forgot the leather vest and no front teeth to be a for real Driver.

No story behind it.

Why does it make you sad? I really don't know what type of life she is portraying. Help me out with this one. I would really like to read your thoughs on her life. Because I have no clue which direction her life is heading, or her background.
