Meeting EO People

[Bruno]

Today I was at Panther's home office in Seville, Ohio. I was just sitting there in the safety waiting to see if I needed to fill out anymore paperwork on a truck. Next thing you know in walks a driver that I thought I had met before. As the driver was leaving I ask him have we met before? We both wasn't sure, Yes we have met before but only online. It was the World Famous Trutle. We sat in the lobby and talked with another driver for almost an hour. It was great to meet Turtle and he is really a nice man. I just think it's cool when you can meet EO people.

Has he started walking faster since the last time I seen him at a expo?

 

[CharlesD]

My first thought upon meeting Turtle was that he looked exactly like I thought he would. Scary, isn't it?

Yea you may have. I had on a grey Cleveland Cavs shirt. Oh, what Brought you to Seville? Paperwork????

yup thats my "bad hair day hat" lol lost the hat after I found the shower lol. I am thinking turtle had a red hat and jacket but he is tough to get a mental picture of from his posts so I cant be sure. (I kinda had this anthony hopkins in Meet Joe Black image of him in my head but nobody there fit that one lol)

I'm not sure, after I seen you at the small Fuel stop did you come back to Panther? Me and Turtle was up front and then I took him back to the drivers room. We sat there and talked about EO and Panther before he had to leave on his load to St. Louis. Turtle said he never knew it was there. I hope he stops by again. He is a good old boy from the Blue Grass State.

nah I was on my way to Akron to get this little 170 miler stopped in the fuel stop to grab smokes. I was just hanging at pather to get a windshield in the F/L before my drivers got outta class and get a couple thing done for my brothers trucks but you know how it goes, there are no "quick stops" at panther lol

 

[Bruno]

Well, better be safe out there on the roads and have a Happy Thanksgiving

I've always pictured turtle as "hannibal lecktor" driving around in his sprinter with arrogant and rude dispatchers tied to his wheel wells. j/k! he he.

 

[Scuba]

I was there Monday I didn't go over to the office yesterday but I am still here at the truck stop. If you are still around I am at the T/A I am in a white columbia with the star for drivers council on the side. Stop by and ill buy the coffee

Turtle looks nothing like Hannibal Lector, or Anthony Hopkins, either - but I could sure see all kinds of rude & arrogant people tied to his wheel wells, lol. (And I'd enjoy it, too!)

 

[pjjjjj]

Sounds like a pretty cool EO party over there at the PII offcies, and yes I'm jealous! EO are you listening? We really gotta get some kinda secret emblem or something, so we all know when we might be talking to 'one of us'!
hehehehehehe

Lawrence might cough up some EO bumperstickers if you sweet talk him but it won't be much help in the driver's lounge.....
