Just for Chucks and Giggles!

After a year of expediting, and being with each other 24/7/365 we have run outta things to talk about. Heck, I know when he's going to the bathroom, and sometimes I'm in it.

So, he and I (no, honestly, it's mostly me) play pranks on each other to keep things exciting. Poor Pie.

Anyway, once he went in to go to the bathroom and I moved the truck to the other side of the lot. Boy was he PO'd! Good he has a great sense of humor!

What pranks have you played on your team driver? (I need a few good ideas!)

I like the microwave thing Moose - I will surely make use of that one.

No, we are both MyPie, together we are Pi squared!

How about this one. I kindly pulled the truck away from the dock so that he could close the doors. When he reached for the door, I pulled up another 10'. The image of him in the mirror indicated that I would probably be punished - Bring it on!

Although she is not my co-driver my sister and I have been having a war of pranks for years.

MY sis on me- cracker crumbs in my bed at our place up north, getting me to ham it up (half, ok 3/4 drunk) at a 4th of july party, while my nephew was secretly videotaping me then making a video with the soundtrack of "their coming to take me away" and playing it at our family christmas party. The best one she did on me was about 6 months after I started expediting, I had been complaining about waiting for loads, well I received a fake "Driver of the month award from my carrier" in the mail. It stated I was the best wait around for a load guy, I was so mad ,I almost called them when my wife and daughter started laughing.

Me on my sis-peanut butter under her car door pulls/handles when alot of puppies were around(she didn't think it was peanut butter haha) Gnomes left at her house then moved, not so original I know. She rebuilt a Lake house then received a fake DNR letter saying the were killing all the fish due to Zebra Mussels, It said the lake could be used for fishing and swimming in 5 years and they would have to wear masks(free of charge) if they were within 50 feet of lake, had her good on that one. She also received a letter from Ford Motor (recently retired) saying her retirement was being re-evaulated and she would have to go back and work all the time that she had been laid off over the years, about 3 years total. It had a number to call which was my work cell I called her a cheater and had her screaming at me.

next time your in Florida tell the bum (there will be one provided at no charge) that your partner would like to help him, but he must recite the pledge of allegiance to said partner.

remove all wheel nut covers while he sleeps, and then scream we have been robed.

secretly unscrew the coax from the back of cb. only when he is driving. (i don't know why they wont talk to you, it works just fine for me)

chane presets on xm, all to vox.

throw one shoe lace out window.

eat lots of beans.

I forgot, while camping we hung flyers all over the place saying sing along with Ronnie and her site# Sunday morning at 9 am, and the next weekend we posted Breakfast with a celebrity saying she was a star on Eight is Enough, She wanted to kill us! People started walking by her site the night before stopping to look at her and she was freaking out.

I still have one up my sleeve involving her boat, a condom and some hair conditioner, yeah disgusting but I can't wait!

This realy did happen with a couple we know but you can reinact it.Some time when he's driving and you are in the sleeper if he stops for fuel or something wait till he's done and a couple miles down the road call him from the sleeper and tell him he left you at the truck stop.

My 1st co-driver was from West Virginia and had never seen the ocean. We got a weekend load to Palm Coast Florida and had some time to kill so we decided to go to Flagler Beach. I told him Florida women didn't like men with hairy legs at the beach and that we always shaved our legs before going. Talk about hook line and sinker hehe. When he hit that salt water...... Needless to say I didnt get within reach of him the rest of the day lol

In my LTL days I ran a nightly linehaul meet and turn. Roger, a driver I often ran with and I were talking one night. Turns out we had both done some potato hauling in the past. We exchanged potato stories while we rolled down the road.

I told him about being parked outside a frozen potato plant in Blue Island at night waiting to unload in the morning. A co-worker was parked next to me and while he slept I customized his front wheels with Genuine Spud Nut Covers. Except no imitations! I jammed a spud over every one of his lugs. It was an impressive sight by dawn's early light!

Roger got a kick out of that story and I got some ideas. On the way home from work that morning I stopped and bought 2 monster baking potatoes. These would compliment my supply of reds and russets at home.

I trimmed one of the monster bakers so that it would lay flat lengthwise. I wrapped some stiff bare copper wire around a pencil so that it would form a coil almost as long as the potato. I stretched the coil the length of the spud and poked the ends of the wire into the potato. I then added some old radio knobs, two 16d nails as antennae and a hand written sign on a toothpick stating: Ta-Tar Detector.

Taking a russet, I hollowed out a hole about 1/2 inch in diameter in one end. The hole extended about 2 thirds into the spud.

One of my kids had a very small cheesy plastic trophy with a spread winged angel on top. I removed the angel and stuck it into the end of the other monster baker.

I turned a small red potato into Spudnik by inserting about a dozen small finishing nails and adding a piece of string.

That night I went to work early and customized Roger's truck. We were running Spicer 7 speeds at the time. I removed the gear shift knob and replaced it with the hollowed out russet.

The Ta-Tar Detector fit nicely on the dash and the baker with the angel got wedged into the hand hold on the hood.

I hung the Spudnik by its string from the sun visor clip.

Serious potato hauler big rig!

When I had my permit, hubby thought he was cute by telling me that the only thing a driver can do when your brakes give out is to jump out. I knew he was bustin' on me so I waited for the perfect opportunity to teach him a lesson. One night, he jumped in the sleeper to take a mini cat nap. Perfect!! I waited for about 10 minutes then yelled " What did you say to do if the brakes gave out?" I then opened & slammed the door. Boy, you never saw anyone come flying out of a bunk as fast as he did. I'm hysterically laughing & as he half stands/half lays there with a panicked, stunned look on his face. It took him a few moments to realize that I indeed, did not jump out of the truck and that there was nothing wrong with the brakes or truck. He still vows revenge.
