More than likely, I'll be using the nickname I got stuck with a few years ago, Han Solo. A guy in my old car club called me that and it stuck. No clue why he called me that lol, but oh well. It's my ID everywhere I post now. And after the 19th, I should have a truck/company to add lol. Hopefully.
Nice thread you have started here 4roses. My handle is the same as here. IceRatt. I just got my cdla and am driving for a local food distribution center in the northeast. I make it as far as virginia and thats about it. Hope to cya in the future and ile buy ya a cup of joe if we cross paths. :wink:
My handle is Silver Bullet. Just got moved into a big blue 2000 Western Star. It has KBS on the door and it has the # 71 on the sides of the hood. I will be in Ghent, Ky. Sunday night/Monday morning, then headed who knows where.
Hello. I have actually been putting some thought into this. I remember when I was a kid, I was raised with a reverence for truckers; instilled in me by my Mom and Grandmother. They weren't truckers, but they sure spent a lot of time chatting over the cb's in their cars. They taught us that truckers were respected as the Knights of the Highway and could always be relied upon to help if needed. They made them feel secure when traveling alone with us kids. My Grams was Diamond Lady and my Mom was Scrapper.
As for me, I've been throwing a few around in my mind. My real name is Farrell and I would use that, as in Feral Cat or something, if I liked cats better - I'm a dog person. So I've been reaching back for childhood nicks; being Farrell Lea - there were plenty: Farley, Flea, Ferret, Flaky Lea... Then there's names that are just sort of silly but I like, like CaveLion, Babu, Bollywood (because I love Bollywood movies). I'm pretty much open to anything,I'm just not sure as of yet. Maybe there's help to be found here. :lol: Maybe a name the newbie contest! :lol:
My DH (Dear Husband) has selected TechNomad or for his since he is your typical computer geek. It fits him rather well. All I know is that I take this very serious because it will be the first time in 15 years that I will be regularly referred to as something other than: Mom or Wife!
~Farrell/AKA: Who knows?
I'm gonna have to figure out what handle to use when I start driving. I had a CB back in the '70's when they were really hot. At the time I was driving a white Chevy Vega with red and blue racing stripes...and my handle was American Lemon..which definitely fit that car.
Maybe I'll go with something like S.F.G.. short for Skinny Fat Guy. I used to weigh over 400 lbs. and now I'm only 170.
As it stands now, I'm scheduled to start training in Charlotte, NC on May 2ND with Schneider. I have to go get my DOT physical and drug test next week. After I get out of the Dr's office I'll run over to the DMV to take my endorsement tests and send off the background check. I'm going to take all the endorsement tests (including Passenger and Tanker). I figure if driving an 18 wheeler isn't stressful enough for me, :shock: I can always get a job driving a bus load of screaming kids to and from school. :lol: :lol: :lol:
:lol: sooo is it --- Skinny Fat Guy ?? what ever fit's your personally ... right :!: when you decide -- let us know ... so i can add you to my personal journey / the one that stays on the truck with me at all times.....
Same as here, on the radio I'm known as NightTrain. If all goes well, I'll be pulling for Freight Star within the next Week. (Assuming the deal being offered is as good as it looks. )
