Truck Driving Jobs

My wife was driving the other day, when this flatbed driver started passing us, then as he came up to the cab he just stopped there and kept waving at her - she would wave back. THe guy just sat there until traffic forced him to go forward.

We then heard over the CB ... hey guys there is a good looking swift driver .... several times. My wife then said he said he was going to go in a rest area to see if he can catch up with her again. Sure enough we passed that rest area and the guy pulled out and then followed us (talking on the cb the whole way ... about the good looking swift driver). We luckily had to go a different route than him.

Possible Gman sighting? Was he wearing a mask?

Sounds like a freak. Did you get on the CB and ask what his deal was???

I havent been followed but one time two guys jumped out of their truck and thought theyd help me lift my hitch to hook up my truck. What they didnt know is that it has AIR ASSIST. One push of the button -up it goes.

I laughed !!

I know of one woman that got on the CB and asked for directions, in the Baltimore, DC area, and some guy came back with: "Hey, Baby, I've got something for you."
She told him to "BRING IT ON OVER", and she'd show him something he'd never seen before.
He was dumb enough to ask what that was...
"THE OTHER END OF IT". She carries a sharp knife.:clap::clap::lol2::lol2:

Unfortunately, I think all of us women drivers have had something like that happen to us at one time or another... I try, when I can, to simply make light of it...but I back in the bad old days when I was slugging freight I used to have a sign hanging in my trailer...

"Sexual Harassment at this Work Station will NOT be Reported....

However, it WILL be GRADED!"

That used to stop the majority of it right in it's tracks!

It is amazing how some of these drivers act out here.

Oh yeah, sitting in Chi traffic one day, a female Swifty from the south was in the express lane and was trying to get back (no trucks) into the other flow. Some jerk got cute with her on the cb. It went back and forth with him cracking lewd remarks and her threatening to slit his throat.

I dropped and hooked a bit up into Wis and upon leaving another driver pulled up and asked me to roll down my window. He asked if I had seen a blonde, female Swift driver and I told him I hadn't. Then he said he was following her and she slammed on the brakes and almost caused and accident. It turns out he is the jerk from Chi and was following the Swift driver. Nice guy. NOT:hellno:

You guys will not believe this.

We were coming back from Phoenix, she was driving the old truck and I was driving the new truck. On i-20 heading toward Dallas this guy in a long nose pete pulls up along side her and just sits there for about 5 minutes with the string of cars behind him getting longer and longer.

I can see my wife trying her best to ignore this jerk who is waving very suggestively.

The solution that I came up with was to slow down enough to force my wife to slow down.

Then this "THING" gives me a very dirty look and shows me the bird.
