Asking the wife for a rate confirmation sheet, before heading up to PU the kids from school & expecting a drop pay for stopping @ the Grocery along the way.

setting up the alarm clock while pushing ear plugs.

starting the dishwasher & laundry machine's makes you sleepy .

commute less then 4 feet to work.

keep a 100 feet following gap, while cruising your 2 doors Toyota.

Can make coffee without getting out of bed.
Are not just willing to do without the bed to increase load space, but can break it down in 3 minutes flat.
Layover in Memphis while parked in Mississippi or Arkansas.
Know at least one of the cargo van drivers parked at every truckstop, wherever you go.

That's so right! I want to b*tch slap my GPS at times... especially in heavy traffic...


I just mute mine - a glance tells me all I need to know.
If you have to hear it, try the Australian voice - everything sounds funny with that accent. Or there are apps for recognizable voices, like the Simpsons.....:eek:

Audiobooks of less than 12 hours aren't worth downloading.
Where others see a cargo van, you see a ladder.

when you have to make a u turn on a very busy street in a straight truck (which turns into a 3-4 point turn) and your wife is hiding in the sleeper because she is not convinced having the flashers on makes us an emergency vehicle.;)

Even if you've been off the road for almost a year and you still find yourself:

1. Going 65 in the middle lane of the interstate in a 70 mph zone...in a car.

2. Wondering why people have to look over their shoulders to back up a car when there are two perfectly good mirrors on the vehicle

3. You still think a shower and a real bed is sheer luxury.

Hah hah. Retired yesterday, driving the van to Oregon, and its ALL true!!!!!

Here's more:


You drive by the truckstop and check the fuel price and look for expediters in the front.

You forget to park in the car section of the rest area.

You pull around to the fuel island not the gas pumps.

You plan on stopping at truck friendly restaurants when now they all are.

More as we go.

Has anyone pulled the car into a coop? Yep, did that one a few months ago when I didn't get a green light on the EZPass that's in the car.
