Any other truckers onthis board?

Postby TaterX » Mon Feb 26, 2007 12:38 pm

What is up, how are you? I was wondering how many other truck drivers were out there on these boards. I drive over the road hauling parts from around the midwest to the two ford plants in Louisville Ky. I've been a big transformers fan since it all started back in '84. I dig the job almost as much as my hobby. I get home everyother day as well as every weekend so it's a preaty sweet gig. when I'm over the road I even get to hunt down hard to find bots at wallmarts and toys r us/targets I might shut down near on my breaks. Comes in handy when scalpers in your area are buying up all the classics. Anyway am I the only guy who makes a living like rubbish optimus prime? TX out.

Nope, you're not the only one. I know Blackbird is also a trucker, and I'm close enough to be considered a trucker. I drive a yard switcher (G1 Huffer) for Fedex Ground.

Nice you yard guys rock. I don't drive a realy big truck like a long nose peat it,s a typical freightliner w/ a sleeper and all but sometimes it can be tight in those yards maybe to tight and when it is i find one of yous guys. Those scout size trucks whip em there like automatic lickity split. Anyway it's good to here seibertron has a bit of a truckstop after all.TX out

I'm not a truck driver, but I work for Ford as a Trade Technician/Engineering Consultant. (Which is a euphmised way of saying that I'm a mechanic...) :P
I told the fire to go **** itself, and it did.

Cool. My brother used to work in Personnel at the Louisville Plant, then he moved back to MI and got a better job.

I was transferred from the Wixom, MI plant when they cut the 2nd shift about 5 yrs ago, after being there for 5yrs. Turned out to be a blessing in disguise, because I ended up in the Trades. Now if Ford can just hold on for another couple of yrs...

Keep on truckin'.

Thanks, Fender Bender, for the longest time I was the only truck driver on this Site.

I am an OTR, so my office is a big one!

Hey! Tx, pls do not talk in Drivers Lingo, I do not know how many Members would know what it means. We are all just normal people that enjoy the Transformers. Just a little helpful advise, ok?
