      Yup!✋🏼 It popped on my feed so I had to watch. My ol man was a truck driver (local) so when I was a little guy I was always SUPER jacked up about trucks and CBs. Ol man had a CB in his pickup and he would let me talk to the truckers. He always told me “stay outta them trucks! You stay in school!” I tried that but I was quickly bored. I “cheated” my way into a CDL and a truck driving job. It was cool as hell for a few years and it was great $$ at the time but then I was stuck in it. Couple years ago I retired after 30+ yrs and I’m done! I don’t care if I never climb up in a truck again. Btw- seeing this clip also brought back memories from the early 70s. I always loved me some Hee Haw! (Rant over….)

Favorite engine was a 3406 Cat with a Garret t-90 turbo. Specialized in Haz-Mat. Retired over 8 years ago with a few million miles.
