Today's guest. We've been waiting on him. We're happy that she's able to Finally put it in park long enough to come and be here with us She is female trucker and that interstate bad girl ginger What type of what type of like halls will you be on now? So how long have you been doing trucking and then what type of halls will you be on? I've been doing it for about nine years now almost nine March. I think okay, and we haul just about everything from like Woodford whiskey. Oh, yeah, I love whiskey. I'm a used to We might haul a Scott's miracle grow dirt. Oh, yeah, just depends on who's calling for what, you know

So we also a lot of a ak which is like edible oils oil flakes or the oil in the bottles or Hardened grease like the lard stuff we deliver it to places that use it for baking and cooking. Oh, wow, really? Yeah, so you'll deliver to her like places in the Midwest kind of or no, we're mostly east Okay, all the East Coast so what's the longest haul that you'll go out on like whenever you get your you work for? You're a subcontractor, I guess. No, I just work for the company, you know, just an employee there Mm-hmm, and I don't own any of the equipment. Okay, just keep it nice. So it you know, it looks good for parents wise but uh, basically

every truck It's they've all been good trucks. They you know, they haul good stuff, you know, it's not nothing that we've hauled it's been Nasty or bad. We do haul some carbide on flat beds, but I ain't messing with that And what is it? That's uh, it's a chemical that's explosive if it's wet So do you get paid more if you're hauling something like that? Oh, yeah, yeah Oh, that's a hazardous material that you're hauling you have to have an endorsement on your license to do that So and they'll adjust the plates like on the back of the trucks a lot of times you'll see those plates We bring those up. Those are placards. Okay, and so what are those? What are those plates? What does that mean?

What are those? It's different types of flammables explosives Uh, corrosives whether it's gas or fume, you know fumes or say if it's if it gets wet It could be explosive. So it depends on what the material is and who adjusts those plates like do you adjust those? Yeah, these are the ones right here. Yeah, so yeah Like do you have all of those plates on your car and they're all on your rig and they're all adjustable or you only have some of those How does that work? They're like say you got one of the diamonds and it turns like cards So you can pick the one you need and you'll latch it to where that it'll show what it is an oxidizer or you know It's a

Organic peroxide or radioactive or poison it it'll have that on there. I see so it's all built into there Yeah, yeah, and you leave do you adjust this or does the company whenever you take off with the load? How does that work? We find out what it is that we're hauling first and they usually explain it on your bills Bill of ladings and it'll tell you what to put on there Which which placard you have to have because you got to have it shown in four places, which is the trailer The both sides and the doors because do you pull you over right? Oh, yeah, they get happy with that shit They didn't they sometimes they get bored on looking for something I had a asshole one time pulling into a way station literally and he's standing out there first time I'd ever seen this

And he kind of looks like a just this little short shit like Elmer fat. Yeah, oh He's thumping everybody's tires as you're pulling in I was like, okay, I'm cool You know I'm good comes up to me and what are you doing hitting them for what? See if there's cocaine like drugs in them to make sure that they're aired up. Oh, okay Well, I guess what I had a fucking flat. No, yeah drive tire didn't even know it What happened was as I was pulling in I ran over a freaking bolt as big as my phone Oh, so that it wasn't even hot yet because when I pulled in and he's you know He's showing me and the tire is wiggling off the rim and I'm sitting there just ready to just scream

So it's like Hell here, you know, and he's like well, you can't leave till you get it fixed So I'm calling the shop and I'm letting them know what's going on and one of them throws a fit One of the guys you work for yeah, I was like what am I supposed to do? You know radar every damn thing on the road today. Yeah, I didn't say that next time I'll dodge the nails and bolts you got a bolt at 12 20. Yeah Now but got it fixed and rolled on they they didn't give me no ticket or nothing, you know, they can be assholes Yeah, oh, yeah, definitely and do you find a lot of a a lot of the

Officers and stuff that you encounter out there a lot of them are men or women was it kind of mixed out there? What the police officers? Yeah, they're mostly men. Yeah, mostly men And do they give you you think a different type of it like a different type of an interaction because you're a female or no You think it's mixed because I actually got pulled over in Sellersburg, Indiana Mm-hmm had a woman in front of me kept hitting her brakes and When you're in the truck and you're doing 65 miles an hour's maybe 67 You know, you don't want to be behind somebody that don't know where the hell they're going. Yeah, you're right over top of them speed bump you know

And like in Mario car Oh shit, and anyways, I'm you know, keep getting up on her ass and I'd back off You know she'd stop and I'd get on her ass again and back off and we're all rolling. It's kind of busy We're coming around this. I guess you call it like the Cross over there the bridge like mm-hmm There's a cop sitting there and I had just changed lanes to keep from hitting this woman into the hammer lane What is a hammer lane? That's the fast lane, okay? You know you're in the middle lane, and I went to go avoid her and when I went back into the middle lane

He's seen it. He pulls me over And I was like how are you looking when he pulls you if you're looking pretty good. I was trying to maintain I'm like, how are you? You know come on in have seat? You know I'll grinning and shitting then and he's telling me what I did and I was like Yeah, I said I was trying not to hit her. I said she kept hitting her brakes, and he's like I seen that I was like, okay You've seen it so what's going on the same bomb, you know the lips starting to curl and yeah He's like well, you know you was in the wrong lane

You were trucks are not allowed in the hammer lanes You can't go in the fast lane and he was falling too close plus she was doing 67 But I'm not gonna I'm not gonna get you for that But is that true that you can't what do you mean you can't go in the fast lane? You're supposed to stay in the right lane trucks are not allowed in the passing lane in the fast lane It's usually the middle or the slow lane, so that's if there's three lanes, right? Okay, now if there's two lanes you can go in either one, okay? But if there's three you're not supposed to get into the far left lane no ever no

I actually got a ticket ticket not a warning a ticket in Bartow, Georgia Did you deserve it? Well, it's my father's in that damn lane. Yeah, amen. Yeah, it's harder But at the same time there was an asshole Volvo driver. Oh, okay. He's in the middle lane story my life He's driving up the hill, right? He's taking his dear taking his time dude. Yeah, slow Merit trading on his phone. I'm getting pissed. Yeah, and I was like, well, you know what? I was like fuck this and I got over and gotten a hammer lane start flying up the hill, right? Well, this peckerhead decides he's gonna speed up

So we're both racing nose to nose up this hill we get top of the hill or city state trooper in the median lights Immediately go on I looked over at that fact. I wanted to shoot him in the face. I was just aggravated I was like fuck so I knew he was coming soon as I seen him lights come on. I was like, okay That's it. This is done. Yeah, so I backed off. I let the fat man go I got over into slow lane in the shoulder cop comes over. He's a younger guy. He's all buff and big and he's got an attitude Because he opens the door and he's looking at me like well, you're gonna say something or what and I was like He's like, you know why I pulled you over I said, yeah, probably cuz I was in that damn hammer lane over there And he goes, yeah, yeah, it's clearly marked that trucks are not allowed. I said, I'll bet I was trying to pass that fat guy in the Volvo

Well, no, he wrote me a ticket He's like you got to pay this I called him the day that I got the ticket and I was like, can I go ahead and pay this now and get it all You know get it off my back and no, it's not even in the computer yet No, you're gonna have to wait. Oh, isn't that so ridiculous? You got to wait nine and they try to get you I think so you'll forget about it Kind of yeah, so they can find you some more. Yeah, you got to wait. Take your life One time they told me you got to wait till it snows. You can't pay it till it snows outside I'm like, what in the fuck does that got to do with anything? Yeah, I need to pay this damn

It's a shit what it's doing outside. Oh What I pay this we got a question from a Caller right here. This isn't live. Just so you know, this is a video someone sent in. Let's let's take this question here for ginger What up Theo this past weekend? What up female trucker guest wanted to ask do you ever cut people off out of revenge? I See it all the time on the road. I feel bad. You guys get cut off a lot My wife's cut you guys off

She felt bad about it, but uh, yeah, we know there's a lot of road rage, especially here in California Central Valley, California We love you over here by the way But yeah, do you cut people off out of revenge? gang gang Honk honk There you go. Ginger you're on the hot seat right now. Straight up honest about that. I've wanted to You know, and there's times when it's like a you know, I'm gonna show you oh some little rich bitch in a dam Oh, no, sometimes it's other semi trucks and a damn Lexus. Yeah, whatever and it gets kind of scary sometimes and oh

It's other semis. Yeah, it's cars as well semi trucks It's not like it used to be so the because when I was growing up I always felt like there was a strong sense of camaraderie, you know, I grew up in my neighborhood. Everybody had like a Ham radio, you know or a trend. What is it called CB like a CB radio? Yeah Yeah, my mom's got those women that had CB date men that had CB's and so we always had CB's around everybody in our neighborhood Had a CB in their car. Yeah So sometimes if you weren't doing anything you just go sit in your car and just talk to people going by on the interstate Oh, it's it's not like it no more and you would see it would seem like there was a lot of camaraderie between the truckers out there

It's it's not you could know you could actually be coming up on traffic It's stopping bad a bumper to bumper. Well, all you see is brake lights And you'll get on the radio and be like, hey, does anybody got your zone? Let me know what's going on up there? Well, can't you read the goddamn sign? It was only about 10 miles back and it's like Shut the fuck up. I just ask a simple question. You know, and then it starts getting heated. Really? Yeah Yeah, and I told Jeffrey. I said my son I got the benefit, you know It's like you I've been in the truck before and honestly be holding a steering wheel At the power and turn it off. Oh, you can just shut it down

I have to listen to you bitch. I turn this thing off, you know, and it's it's the people are rude You know just rude. So there's not a sense of camaraderie. There's not as much of a sense. It's almost cut throat Anymore and I didn't see that when I was kid when my dad was driving because back then we were allowed as kids Me and my two brothers We would climb in the back seat of the or the back bed of the pickup truck ride down I-65 to Deems Lake in Indiana Go swimming and stuff and get back in this, you know in the pickup and ride back, you know, do all this to all these trucks You know, hey, it was part of life. Yeah, you don't hardly see that anymore And then people cutting you off all the time

But no, you got to think of it. My teacher told me this when I was in school Every vehicle whether it's a semi a car motorcycle, whatever picture little kids in it So that you that's gets drilled in your head like it's almost like a mental picture you have yeah off the bat But if them little kids is assholes up there on their canvas. Oh, yeah, I've seen them, you know You know and and like picture nose though boogers it, you know There are dating can be mean but most of the time the little kids are just got the little fist going, you know And you're just laying on I've scared the shit out of bus drivers. Oh, yeah, that's fun It is yeah, what kind of bus you talking we talking Greyhound and we talking school bus

Oh, yeah, anybody could do little kids. You got a whole row of little kids all grinning at you staring out the window You're riding right alongside of you know, and you're a woman too. So little kids, you know It kind of just little little more. Yeah, and I'm just giving that horn. Hell, you know entertaining I'm in the whole time the bus driver. It's like holy shit. Holy shit. Holy shit. I Was like, oh, sorry, sorry, you know going past her waving. I need finally she right up alongside of you She'll toot her horn. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, the kids are having a ball So do some trucks have better horns than others actually let's go to this question We got a question right here that came in from a fellow that's staying safe

Except the of arms right now real Nick Davis. This is Jordan from up in Portland. Sorry about the face mask My service about to be here to take my order Got a question for the truck driver this signal here. Do you recognize that now as a kid? We used to do it all the time to give this semi truck drivers a hunk of horns. Do you see that anymore? I haven't really seen kids doing that these days. I haven't done it. So let me know Thank you for your service. Appreciate you gang gang gang. Yeah, we don't see a lot of I'm not on the roads that much Right. So when I used to drive to comedy club, you know, have to drive around to them and stuff I would be on the roads a lot, you know, so I'm not on the roads as much

But that's a good question. Do you still see it sometimes? Yeah, and I've actually had adults That have rolled along young adults that have rolled up alongside of me and get me to do that and they'll start clapping in there Oh, yeah, yeah, it's like yeah, just reliving their past a little yeah, I guess that are just you know Like actually like to hear the air horns blow. Yeah, cuz it's a lot different in the city horn. It's to toot So so there's different see you have different horns in there, too. Okay. Take me through that one's an air horn That's the string one that you pull. Okay. Is it a real string? What does that look? Yeah? It's a string Okay, and it just pulls it. I guess it releases from the the we call them

Hydraulics, yeah, and it just blows through and it creates like a train sound sounds like a train engine. Okay, oh Cool How many are there a lot of women out there in the sport? No I've seen more since I was a kid, but it's still like a 50 to 1 ratio. It's still over. You know, it's men dominated That's just the way it is. You're gonna do it. You're gonna have to blend in with them You have to and what does that mean when you say blend in with them? Oh Well, uh, do you mind the story? No little story. Okay time for it example to blend in you would take you know like

Things that they say is insults cry about it get upset, you know, okay kind of pucker up like a girl You know mousey. What'd you say that? What there's no room for that, right? No, there's not and you know, I'm walking up to the truck stop and I was getting fuel I wanted to get some coffee. So I walk in and this big guy opens up the door for me He's like nice tits and I looked over at him and I was like nice tits Yes, and freaking heaters on him, huh? Yeah, I have to do that to like I'm walking out with hot dogs Mm-hmm, and this guy's like you want to come in and see my hot dog. I got a hot dog for you

Hey, and I was like we you shut the hell up I said I'm gonna go eat my lunch before I throw up on it and then just went to my truck and ate my hot dogs Yeah, then not a part of it. Obviously that's messed up, but at the same time part of it's kind of funny Yeah, it is funny and you people watch a lot too when especially when you're sitting you got 10 hour break You can drive 14 hours 11 of that's driving three hours is on duty not driving. Okay, so what does that mean? Take me through some of that So so the rule is you can drive for how long 11 hours 11 hours straight No, no, yeah, you can drive up to eight, but before the eight you have to take a 30 minute break

Okay, before they once you took your 30 minute break It'll reset it to where that you've got extra time to drive Mm-hmm, and you usually approximately have maybe four to five more to drive and you're done And it can't total any more than 14. That's on duty not driving is usually like fueling Washing your truck windshield off or any repairs that might be needed. That's on duty Okay, and so you'll take so you might drive seven hours and there's five hours in the sale Can I take my half hour break? Yes, I'm gonna take a half hour break now Yes, and then how much more can you drive for you to take another break?

You'll only be allowed maybe five maybe six more just depends on you know how you run before and Once once that happens you have to take a ten hour break Okay, so I'm just gonna just because I'm not good at a lot. So I'm gonna ask again just so out of 14 hours You can only drive 11 of right and then after that 14 hour space, right? You have to take a 10 hour break Yes, okay, so within 14 hours you need to take three hours break. Yes total Total and then after that you you need to take a 10 hour break. Yes, okay, and do you is that good because you? You're glad to have the brakes or is it bad because you're trying to make time No, when you take your 30 minute break, that's it's actually, you know, you can break anytime you want actually like sometimes

I'll stop after I've drove about four hours and I'll take a 15 minute break just to stretch my legs get out walk You know, maybe get a drink or pee and then get back in the truck you drive another Say three and a half more hours before the eight's up and I'll take a 30 That's when I'll have my lunch or I'll play a video game on my phone or just you know Just walk around anything. Oh because before eight hours you have to also take a break. Yeah. Yeah, you have to okay That's the law required has to be a 30 minute break Okay, so with the within every 14 hours you can only drive 11, right and every eight hours you have to take a break Yes, I got it. Yes, then once you pull over for the night and it's time to take your 10 hour break

You can rest area or truck stop. There's times when I've pulled over onto a ramp You know as you're getting back on the interstate that way when I wake up I can just Take off keep it go. Yeah, a lot of times. Yeah, you will see trucks that are just right there on the side I always wonder what's going on. I usually thought sex or drugs No, not for me as I'll uh pull my curtains I got the truck running out to set my temperature where I want it You know, especially like in the I like the AC on mm-hmm So I'll dim all my lights inside and make sure my doors are locked and

Depending on the area. Sometimes I'll actually like use my seat belt latch it over the door handle and lock it Oh, I like so they can't you can't open the door no matter what you do. Yeah, and then once that you get back here Pull the curtain pull back my covers. I got my microwave. I got a curing for coffee I got a TV set up in there put DVDs in it or I've got a cord that hooks up to my iPhone Mm-hmm, and I watch movies. Oh, wow. Yeah, I got home movies in a little cabinet that I can watch and I'll sit back here and eat, you know smoke cigarette watch TV and Set my alarm go bed. That's it And so now are there times that you will know so I'm guessing that your truck has a

Facility of space in there. You can get some rest. Oh, yeah Plenty. It's actually got bunk beds in there. Okay. The bottom one is uh like a full to twin Can you pull that up for us on Freightliner cabin or what would we bring up? You think what we just a inside cab Freightliner and Look up maybe bunk or sleeper berth. That actually would be better look up sleeper berth And it'll show you that's cuz you got a bed up the top that you can fold back against the wall Mm-hmm if you're not using it so it leaves that space open for you Or you could pull it down if you had somebody with you and you stop you let them Hang out up there and sleep, but you don't put them up there while you're driving, right?

Because they could actually fall out. Yeah, that sounds a little risky now Which one of these do you think seems like yours here ginger? Okay, that's see the bed with the red Yeah That's kind of it's kind of like that inside. Okay Cuz it's got the bunk beds and it's got cabinet space Mm-hmm, and then I've got a spot for the microwave Frigerators right underneath of it. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's it's nice. You got enough room. That's where I actually learned to dance for

His wedding was in my truck. Really? Yeah, I couldn't be with him to me and him to learn the dance together So I practiced inside of my truck So Jeff sent you a video and showed you how to do it. Well, it was part of the movie pulp fiction. Oh Wow, John Travolta and What's her name? Shit Karen she was it was a yeah, umma Thurman. Umma Thurman. Yeah when they danced together in that restaurant They were at that's what mother and son for his wedding. Yeah, so you learn that in your trucks You could stand up and learn that in there. Oh, yeah, there's enough room in that cab to do that

And so now there's a lot of oh, yeah, there it is right there. That's cool That's awesome, and I was learning that in the truck because most of it is the just the twist so you're not Flailing yourself all over the place, you know, you could get hurt in there. Yeah Yeah, I could imagine that yeah for some for people that don't know Uh, your son is Jeff, right? And he's been he came in the podcast a while back breasty Jeff, right? And he had Oh, yeah, long I guess just some extra meat on his breast. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I hate it for him But hell man pretty cool really kind of you know in some ways, but a really great guy And he's kept in touch with the podcast and it was awesome that he just kind of he's like

Oh, I know a woman who'd be perfect for this. Yeah, he told me about it and I was just ecstatic. I was like really me You know because you kind of like the like you feel like a little kid at the school somebody picked me Cool It's cool. Yeah, my mom is a my mom delivers now just for Amazon and but she's always been like a hard worker You know always been yeah, you know did her own thing You know wanted to work for herself and it seemed like you kind of have some of that attitude, you know Well, I like the trucking thing you do yeah, and but I started in a little later than most because you wanted to have children first Yeah, well, I had my kids first and that was the most important thing and what did you what were you doing during those years?

Staying home and trying to maintain the bills and taking care of them and it was it was good It was financially tough as hell. Yeah, you know being pretty much single, but it got by we got by so yeah And then I told them I was like when I get you know stable things will be better and it has been money's Great, it's a good job. Oh, yeah. Yeah 1200 a week Bring home after taxes. Oh, wow, that's great. It's nice money. Yeah. Yeah What you gonna do tonight you think?

Uh, actually not having nothing Yeah, yeah, nothing gets handed to you. Yeah, if it does there's a catch to it

Oh, there always is yeah. Yeah, there's always that catch so So for me to have something got to work and once they were old enough and I didn't need babysitters and You know diapers and bottles and they could pretty much once they're in high school take care of themselves Oh, once they can make a pot of macaroni. Yeah. Well, he's a good cook. My oldest boy. Jeff. He's a good cook. Yeah. Yes Yes, he is So he you know, he helped out a lot too. So Yeah, we're good. That's cool. Yeah Um, was there another line of work that you wanted to get into it was always trucker

No, you mentioned that from growing up. You said from your dad was in the business Was there another line of work that you thought about not really? Um, I did try a concrete mixer You drove one of those. Yeah, it didn't go very well. I started in november And the old shoots that you used to let the concrete roll down Were like a 45 pounds a piece So you had to hook that. Yeah, and you pick up each one. There's four And what I'd have to do is like set it down long ways

Drop down to my knees let it drop on my shoulder Then kind of stand up from a squat And then walk it across and hook it and then do each one that way And then I had to learn how to back up the truck and work The shoot at the same time without overloading or spilling concrete. Damn the people that are working by the hour Sweetest people ever. Take your time. Take your time. We're good. Yeah, but the white collar That was actually like the suit and tie people stand there watching you You spill a drop

And you're a piece of shit get the hell out of here. You don't know what you're doing And I guess this and so you just pull up to job sites where it's been ordered. Yes the concrete and you say look I got this load. We're ready to rock and footers To a personal person's driveway Or sidewalk So now, uh, what was the first one you said? What not not not the sidewalk the other one? Oh, the driveways the purple's personal driveways or their little garages or footers at buildings Like they're getting ready to start a big mall or something and there's some tubes that go in the ground

And you got to be filled with concrete. Yeah Yeah, so you could handle those So are there some jobs you couldn't handle with concrete where it's like they needed like part of a wall done? Yeah, when somebody ordered some concrete, uh, I was actually there for this There was another concrete truck that beat us to the place and it was in a residential area Mm-hmm. He drives into their yard and sinks Damn. Yeah. So all the concrete it sunk up to the tank So it the tank couldn't stir

And if it can't stir then the concrete will sit damn. Well, it's set in the truck. So all that got wasted They'd have to jackhammer all that out of there Really then they had a call tow truck to get the truck pulled out of this person's yard that they damaged He's fired. Yeah Damn. Yeah, it seemed like a lot of extra risk on that job Then there's just so many other variables where you could, you know lose your nut for the day, you know Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's one mistake I mean a heavy truck like that with having it liquid in it. There's that surge

You know, you make a turn and it'll surge to the right Oh because of that volume of that surge to the left the weight of that of that scene You go to stop and it'll push the truck forward. Yeah crazy. Yeah, almost makes me damn erect That sounds freaking kind of sexy. Was it a little? No, I actually like the semis because in november when you start out and you're like spraying the truck down And it's november You're getting wet. I don't care where the fuck you stand. They'll say all downwind. I was like, yeah, okay, whatever You got to get back in the truck. You peel all your clothes off. You put them on top of the heaters

And you got to let them warm and dry out before you get to the next stop and this is in a rig, huh? That's in the semi or the concrete. Yeah. Okay. And so you'll just drive in your underwear Hey, you could but you know put a t-shirt on or something. Yeah. Yeah, you have to yeah I have to because I've sat and drove in my pajamas And the old school truck drivers get pissed off about that. Really? Oh, yeah, you're supposed to be in blue jeans and cowboy boots and a tucked in flannel shirt And now is that an actual protocol you're supposed to be in fur? Oh, no, no, that's just the older school the older guys The old ones has been driving 40 and 50 years. Yeah, you know, that's the way that they did it

That's the way you should do it. You know too many people out here wearing pajamas. Yeah, you know Something out here in damn pokemon fricking onesy. Exactly. That ain't a real trucker flip flops and pajama bottoms and uh, You know or they'll come out with uh eating caviar that ain't a real damn Yeah, I've seen this lady get out of a truck one time and I don't know how in the hell she drove like that Her fingernails were like three inches long. Damn. She had on all this jewelry She had this huge weave. She had on this fancy white outfit. The whole outfit was white. Oh, wow You got to reach under the fifth wheel. You've got a touch greasy dirty shit And it's like how the hell is

Yeah, high heels that look like they're since six inch spike boots. How could you do that? You can't I wear tennis shoes like these. Maybe she had a side kick with her She got out of the truck by herself. Hmm, you know, usually if you'll see somebody passing your seat or You'll see the truck move around for somebody in the cab. Okay, you know, but you didn't she just got out and I was like, oh fancy pants Alrighty then Now, are there some fancy ladies out there on the circuit? What do you guys call it the circuit the When you're out, you know, just out the run like when you're out on the When you're on route otr or just yeah, what do you call it? It's it's just uh hauling and you're in route

You got destinations such as, um, you know, your pickups and deliveries and You know, you'll deliver here and then you'll go somewhere else clean clear across the country to pick up You know, that's deadhead and that's empty. Okay, and then you go pick up there and then you could deliver somewhere else Or we bring it to the yard sometimes and just drop it for the local guy to take it and what's the yard prison? You mean? No No, it's uh the yard's like where our company is That's where our trailers are our trucks are all at where the office is the shop where they fix the trucks Oh, that's cool. We call it the yard. Yeah, man. I bet my mom would love doing that job Um, she just likes working for herself. She likes, you know, like I do too. Yeah, not having a ball standing over top

Maybe 24 hours a day. Yeah, you know worrying about what you're doing where you're at when you're coming in Yeah, yeah, is there a level of proof in your in your line of work that like I want to prove to men that I can do this Or it has nothing to do with them. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. Yes You women have it. I think my opinion a little harder because we have to prove that we can drive Right, which is notoriously. Yeah been misproven by women. Right, right, especially in semi trucks. I mean we get picked on for driving cars Especially in South Korea actually Are there any and I'll just ask point blank because that's all I know is but are there any Asian truck drivers? Have you seen any Man. Yeah, man. Praise. Never see Asian never see Asian women driving. Never. Yeah, I think it's always the men

Always the men. Yeah, and they're tiny. Yeah. Oh, yeah, they're so tiny little jockey little engine jockey just little tiny guys Oh, yeah, little nine-pound fella. Yeah, little chin. Yeah, I'm right here Little 90 weighs 19 pounds a little rice little rice bit. Yeah. Yeah. Just cruise it. Yeah um, it's a pretty now I I've I believe that the the truck industry is getting pretty diverse. There's a lot of middle eastern truck drivers now Yes, there is Yeah, and to be honest with you everybody that I have ever seen or Out there that's different. Mm-hmm. You know the towels and the beards, you know, that's not a terrorist

That's a truck driver. Right. He's gotten out and actually helped me before spot me and getting a spot, you know, just just by There was no word communication at all. He's just telling help helping me out. Right. I didn't ask him He just volunteered and done it. Yeah. I'm driving down the road. I see them and they're like this just a waving and it's like, hey, what's up? It's a pretty diverse sport though these days. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, because you would think Especially when I was growing up it seemed like it was a white man kind of did it, you know Or black man white or black man. You see a lot of black men driving. Um, I see some black women driving Yeah, um, it's mostly white women driving because you don't see a lot of Diverse women different different countries women drive it and it's usually just white. Yeah, but or black

Well, I remember two men. They had a lot of Hispanics a lot of Hispanic drivers. Oh, yeah, huh a whole lot and Like I said, a lot of foreign a lot of foreigners That can't even speak English like Middle Eastern guys. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, because I remember reading an article a few years ago that about the Growing population of Middle Eastern men that were driving long haul. Yeah, and it was like, oh, that's interesting and I guess it was because They also were buying a lot of the service stations and stuff as well

So I think they're just, you know, one business kind of led to the other maybe. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it could have possibly Um, let's take a question right here. We got a question from a beautiful young fellow right here What's going on Theo big fam and listen for a while and I got a question for the female trucker across from you So MIT or somebody did some sort of study on female truckers and found that on a scale of 1 to 10 Um, they ranked 4.4 on how safe they felt on the road. So my question is What's the scariest moment or interaction you've had as a female trucker? Um, it's a good question. And how safe do you feel on a scale of 1 to 10 on the road? Big fan Theo gang gang, Hong Kong

Hang brother. Oh, that's crazy. Two people did Hong Kong. Yeah, what are the odds of that? Yeah That's a great question. Yeah, what's the safety like out there? Um, it depends on where you're at. Actually, um, there's some places the truck stops that I've stopped at and I didn't know What it's time. Uh, but I was told once I got back obviously just didn't matter That I could have got shot there Damn mugged for being a female just anyone just anyone but also female. That's the bigger target, right? You're weak Um defenseless

You know, oh, yeah, if I see seven or eight people out, you know wandering around at night Well, what if you see a woman walking around, you know, sometimes those drivers actually think that you are a lot lizard Oh, yeah, and you drive a truck. Oh, yeah. Yeah And but now but but that would go against the grain really to be a lot lizard that also drives or do you think they have that? They yeah, I don't think they do. I've actually heard about that Yeah, that there are women that will charge to sleep Around in truck stops while they're driving 500 and they're making an extra, you know buck on the side Yeah, uh, hell no, I've seen some of the shit walking around out there

You wouldn't hook up with it. Oh, uh, hell no. No now do they have uh Uh, so so you said so some of the truck stops can be kind of shady. Yes. Um, is there a like Do you feel like is there a moment where you feel like scared like you go into a place? It's Nate. It's it's nighttime. You're walking back to your truck. Do you guys usually park a distance away from the Yes service station. I try to keep everything I need in the truck So all the time I have to get out is for fuel or if I have to do a pre trip And you check your truck before you go Now there's been times that I've gotten out and literally been so scared that I'd run back before my pre trip was finished

Just that creepy ominous Gut feeling that somebody's watching you. Yeah now take me through one more time the pre trip. What is it? It's uh, when you get out and your truck's running you check your oils you check all your fluids you Make sure your turning signals work, you know the pressure in your tires Make sure if things just smooth and you walk it you make sure your airlines are all hooked up So you walk your truck you check everything. Yes everything make sure the doors are still locked and loaded You know fastened and then come back around and once it's all done. Usually it takes about 20 minutes. Oh, wow Yeah, so you want to check everything now. Do you use a pressure gauge when you're checking the tires? No

Usually I'll just dump them. I'll take a hammer and hit them Now you can tell like the way it bounces off that they're pretty full But if you hear a thud and it doesn't bounce Usually that means it's flat or it's going flat. Okay, so it's kind of like what you look for and how many wheels do you actually have on it? 18 damn 18 I knew it. Oh, yeah two stairs so you got two four six eight drives

And in the rest are all Trailer so what do you mean? So you got eight drives eight? So it's an eight wheel Yeah, so it's eight wheel drive. Yeah, let's see. Yeah, it's what it says. Yeah. See one two three four I'm trying to think Yeah, no, it's tricky. Yeah. No, it's if he could pull up a picture of the truck of it that you can actually count Because it is 18 total, but I'm trying to like I got a brain fart going on here Yeah, there you go. There was a perfect picture right there. Okay. There's a bottom this one Up there at the top

Next to the red one. There you go That's it So those are your Yeah, you got you got the eight eight drives total. Yes And the 10 are just trailer. Yeah Wow So now if you take the trailer off, then you're an eight wheeler. Yeah Yeah, no, it's 10 10 on the cab, honey. Oh, it is. Yeah 10 total you got two in the front and then eight

In the back. So it's 10 on the 10 on the cab. Okay. So you got eight on the trailer Yeah, that's where I was trying to think something don't sound right. Wait a minute. Hang on. Hang on. Let me think Yeah, I was thinking you had four in the front. I'm yeah, I really went wrong there Yeah, yeah, you got two up front and then eight on the back of the of the Uh, what is the whole front? It's called a bobtail a bobtail bobtail. That's the that's your whole cab with no trailer Okay, it's a bobtail. So that's the bobtail. Yeah. Oh, that's cool. Yeah, okay. So you get to a uh A service issue you do your pre pre trip So before you take off before you take off to what leave or to go into the service station or whatever

No, it's before you leave like if you're fixing to take off anywhere Okay, like you just got a new load you're getting ready to take off with you picked up or Say you're waking up in the morning after your 10-hour break That's when you really want to check it because there's people that will unhook your airlines while you're sleeping Damn, or they'll pull your fifth wheel pin. Why and it's just to be a jerk And if they pull that pin and you take off and you ain't checked it your whole trailer will drop right off And your cables still be hooked and rip. Oh, yeah, they'll rip right out Yeah, that happened to me at the gas station all the time. I'll put that gas in fill that bastard up

Take off baby. It costs you $170 I'll tell you that praise god. I spent almost I've spent almost 800 Ripping them bitches off and you don't get to keep the thing. You got to give the thing back Yeah, yeah, they always want that little uh pump thingy back And the holes. Yeah, they went with it. Yeah, just hateful man. It's a big business, you know We've seen trucks that like them so much. They've took them with them too. That's how I imagine we want a souvenir from the truck stop Yeah, how long does it take to fill up a truck when you go to fill up gas And are y'all on diesel? What do y'all run on diesel fuel? Okay diesel fuel only and then you've got the death

Which is a diesel efficient fuel And it smells like cow piss. Is it two different types of fuel? Yeah. Okay. So tell me so tell me about that So you can't so can you pull into just like a Exxon and get some gas or no no because our company uses the points for pilots and flying jays Okay, so you pulled into those specific stations. Yeah. Yeah. Well now if it's emergency fuel We can use a ta or petro or a loves but he prefers us using those Because he gets extra bonus on the points. Right. So we go there and use those and it usually takes about About 10 minutes to fuel it up completely and I think it's uh 250 gallons

Yeah, so dude if you get in an accident, you're gonna die. Oh, yeah, you're going swimming in some diesel fuel. Wow. Yeah That's wild. Yeah Um when you were do a lot of uh Are there a lot of swingers out there on the road because I would imagine couples go ride together sometimes. Do you see that? Yeah, there's husband and wife teams a lot and like I had when I started I had male trainers Okay, for me, it was easier just to listen to a guy You know, I don't think two girls cooped up in a truck is a good idea. Oh, well, they two women died that did it in that

Damn movie. Yeah, they're my Louise. Them bitches died, man. So You probably write about that, you know Uh But yeah, I think um, you know, I won't even have the If if there's someone is driving me an uber or anything like that and they have the female voice on the phone I'll have them turn it off or change it. It reminds me of my mother's voice. I think or just reminds me of some ladies It's tom and I told pharma. I was gonna fire his ass several times. Yeah, yeah Forget me in places. I ain't supposed to be with a semi truck. Yeah

Tom you're an asshole Do you keep the voice on the whole time? Do you shut it down? No, I have to shut him off He gets on my nerves. I wanted to sling him out the window before Yeah, you know, um speed warning speed warning speed warning. It's a hell no shut up. Yeah Yeah, how fast can you go in there in the rig 72 is the top speed. There's a limit on it. Yes, it's governed Just as fast as it'll go Now if you're going downhill, that's a different story. You can get it in neutral and let it open up Hey, you can just leave it in in the gear. It's in 10th gear

But if you're heavy and you can't control it stop and doing that really but I'd let it cruise about 75 Hey, man Fucking roll. Yeah, let's live a little. Huh gotta get there. Put on some acd scenes cut it up. Yeah Yeah, hold the steering wheel great chief. Yeah What do you listen to while you're in there? Oh all different kinds of shit. There's a Some uh, clandonia music that I listen to it's irish. Yeah, and it's bagpipes and drums Oh, wow, and they don't get your shit pumped because you're driving and it just You know, it'll get you hyped up where you're really seriously going. It's like uh, clandonia. It's called. Yeah, clandonia

clandonia Yeah, huh. Yeah, and it's straight up irish And it's it's like the titanic music that I listen to when they're in the lower deck. Oh, yeah, and they're partying It's kind of like that, but it's basically just drums and bagpipes Now you're like damn william wallis out there there. Yeah. Yeah And the truck is my sword. Yeah Do you do you keep a weapon on you? Yeah

Yeah, I got some old sea spray for my son. Okay. Yeah, and a hammer works really well. Okay Uh guns. No, uh, we could have one but I don't I don't really want it personally in the in the company truck. Yeah, you know Our boss is pretty lenient about it, but he's not like giving us the okay It's like you can protect yourself, but I don't really want to know about it. Okay, you know, and he's a good guy So here's a fella right here that also owns an animal and they got a question Oh, you know, hey, yo, what up the oh what up guest my question is

Is there equivalent male lot lizards for female truckers? Anyway gang gang, bro Gang baby. That's a great question. Yeah. How much sensuality is out there on the on a lot? Really? Yes There's a couple of places in indiana. That's Way up north way up north that's there's a truck stop. That's really bad about it And they will just pound the shit out of your door and they're men Women women mostly women and they're showing up for sex. Yeah No, I ain't I ain't sticking my head out like curtain. Yeah, because if it happens to be a man

I really don't want them knowing that there's a woman in the truck, right? So I just keep to myself back there. Will you do a man's voice or something? It's like I've done that fuck off. You know, pretty good Yeah, pretty good. All right Fuck off, you know, and it'll work. It'll work. You know, they just keep the lights off Yeah, you know, and you don't let them know that you're you know prancing around in there You just don't make yourself known You just try to keep to yourself keep doors locked

So you feel pretty safe once you're locked up and everything's locked down for tonight You feel pretty safe. Yeah, the riots had me scared though Yeah, because I was worried about you know the busting of the windshield the busting of the side windows Because then they can climb right in Yeah, the sad thing is every time you see one of those riot videos, they're always stopping a rig, you know Yeah, yeah, and I've seen them pull the drivers out of there. Oh, yeah, and that's scary and the bosses told us what to do You know if that ever happened. He's like you pull up You blow your horn. You let him know to get off. He's like don't ever roll your windows down. Keep your doors locked

And he said turn on your flashers He said you call the police on your headset, but you continuously keep moving do not stop And if somebody's so stupid does stand in front of your truck and get squashed and that's what's gonna happen You know if you stop then you're setting yourself up to get hurt Yeah, even if they're just protesting there are some of them that are out to just hurt someone out there protesting They don't want uh, uh, you know a black life matter or any life matter. Yeah, this is totally I want your shit in that truck. Yeah, they want your life not to matter. Yeah, give me your money I want your radio. I can get this I can get that

And as your truck is just slowly rolling away and they're getting a crap beat out of you You know, it's also getting stripped on the inside and then you know by the time you get back to it You know half bleeding and dead you're like, what the hell you can't even drive back Somebody get me, you know, so that's that did spook me But that's a good plan though flashers going contact the police on the headset and just keep it cruising. Yeah Yeah, it's a low speed. You don't try to fly through like they're bowling pins. You know, yeah, which you'd like to This cartoons, you know watch them just fly lifting right as you plow through Oh, man, I definitely take on some antifa sun. Yeah, you know, they run four four

They run four eight rigs through that park up there in portland. I think that did you ever see the video on Of the internet where the FedEx driver was or was UPS. I can't remember which But it's when it first started the riots This guy was climbing all over this truck and he was it was threatening bring that up Sean and The FedEx truck took off And the guys got pinned in the wheels as the trucks rolling people are screaming for him to stop Why would you why would he stop? They were climbing all over him. There was like 20 people all over this truck these days how suddenly you defend yourself

Little kids on a jungle gym, you know, it was just on youtube brother. It was really scary and I cried for the person that got rolled over. I did. I felt bad. It was a horrible video But at the same time I had done the same things that FedEx driver had to you don't know what they would have done to him You know to get his whatever he's carrying Yeah, I'm not dying. Uh, st. Louis. Man dies are being dragged by FedEx truck. That's it. That's it Yeah, here we go. They may have cut it because it was pretty violent I don't know if they clipped it or not But yeah, man, you're doing your job somebody interferes because they have some social right social justice issue

What is FedEx these is just thieves. This is just people stealing so these people aren't about any this isn't about anything Right, but I think this is pretty much it. But this was this was pretty sad The guy got in see how he's got the double trailers He got in between the two he got in between the two of them and got wedged in there And he got drugged quite a ways before You know the video wonder what your mind said is because I've been in mindsets Where I feel like I need to stand up for myself or I feel like I need some sort I want to act out for some sort of justice

But then also going in between two semi trucks Just doesn't seem Like where I'm gonna find any of that, right?

You're a shark on them Now do you hear any stories about those places that's popular for swingers and stuff because I would imagine here's what I'm saying is

If you're taking a spouse out there If you're a man and you have a female side Sidekick with your wife, you know, or whatever it is called And I can't imagine y'all aren't doing swinging and there's a lot of swinging out there in the Midwest too, especially in Missouri Do you encounter any of that? Hey, no, you hear any stories of it. Is there any no actually if there's it mostly what I see is men that are single out there Picking up the lot lizards, okay, you know, and they'll get what they want and then send them on their way Then they stop to the next truck, you know

Is it usually set or they is it blowjob and is it oral sex? Do you know what it is out there? I don't even know Yeah, it just I guess it would depend on the girl and how much money he wants to spend, you know But yeah, do you know the rates on any of it? How how? No, I wouldn't want to yeah because I'm literally like You got to worry about them girls sometimes Because I've been told that they can actually lay underneath your trailer And as you're coming out to say if you're a man, you're standing out there taking a piss they cut your ankle

They can cut you cut you in the back of the ankle like on the hot rod your ass just like hostile And that's you gotta watch them. I've watched them At night when I'm just pulled in and it's two o'clock in the morning and it's been raining I'll see if you know, it's it's actually raining. There's a woman walking around a pair of shorts and high heels And she's tapping on each door. Well, it's dark. Can't really tell that helps But you see her, you know going from door to door to door to truck to truck to truck And then the next thing, you know, she disappears for about 20 minutes and then she's out again You'll see a light on in the truck. That's the dome

Then you know, that's how it's a dome. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. I know what you're doing. Uh-huh And then she'll come out, but I've seen them walk around the trucks Like they're looking for shit, right? Or maybe they're gonna disconnect something or pull something You gotta watch them because you don't know what they're doing. Well, they have that famous documentary with Eileen Warnows where she Wasn't she killing truckers? No, she actually was killing just random people that was picking her up Right. She was prostituting herself out and just randomly picked out some dudes and Do you see is there any pimping or anything like going on out there? Do you see anything like that?

Do you know who's approached my trucks? My truck is usually men drivers Other men drivers just wanting us now. Are they asking specifically for sex or just kind of flirting or just saying Well, I had a Bosnian guy. Now. He told me he was from Bosnia and uh He wanted to tell me how big and beautiful my boobs were. Oh, and I was like, okay. Okay, you know Pretty cool. I mean first of all, that is nice. It was in Maryland You know, I'll tell you this if a lady came up to my window for no reason and said hey, man I like this. Yeah. Yeah. Well, this is kind of scary. You know, you're a girl in the truck by yourself. You're right. My bad. You're right

Anyways, he's uh He sticks his body halfway in my window. Okay. It's a beautiful day. I had to wind us down. It's a stupid You don't do that. So he put his head in the window. He was in his body was in the window up to halfway Yeah, I'm standing there making up my bed, you know, just kind of going to stretch out or watch tv Yeah, the windows open. It's nice out beautiful day Hey, next thing I know I turn around and I was like, ah screamed and I was like, you could get a shot like that, dude What the fuck get out of my truck? Damn.

Yeah, basically Yeah, he wanted me to get out and have sex with him in his truck I was like, get the hell out of here. At least he really laid it out. You know, I guess exactly Yeah, because that's a tough thing on this podcast We try to encourage young men to like at least shoot their shot, you know But that's kind of a shady way to do it.

Okay Well, I'm sitting here just driving, you know, like literally wanting to put my hand next to my face, you know And just kiss here because I'll slow down You know for them to speed up a little bit, then they'll go back and then they'll keep alongside of me the whole time No matter what I'm doing. Oh, yeah, regardless of the traffic that's going on around us

It's just you and them in the world. It's like a slow dancing. I saw this guy five separate occasions Same stretch of 65 in india indiana And I named him jerk off jim. Oh, yeah He's out there, huh?

I'm sure you see a little bit of that sometimes Yes and no, yeah, but most of the time they're not like, you know trying to show it off

But see right they just ride on down the road. I was like, oh damn. Did you see that there ain't nobody in the truck with me? I'm just like, yeah Have you ever had a guest in the truck a male guest or no? Uh, just I've had my oldest son with me once and I had my daughter with me. She got to ride with me once and uh, uh, I did have a team Uh member from work. Mm-hmm co-worker. We did team for nine months running back and forth to miami florida twice a week And is that was that enjoyable or hell? No, I hated it. Really? Yes, because y'all started to get on each other's nerves

I'm sure. Oh my god. I wanted to kill him. Oh, there's so many times that almost left him at truck stops Oh, yeah, and that's for you chris if you ever listen to this. Amen chris. That's what you get son chris and tana. Yes smacking your fucking gum while you're eating Damn, bro Tell you about his toenails in the floor Oh, buddy hair in the bedsheets. Come on.

Just sign it and give it to now You stuff a paper towel down in it put the little top back on you know where the straw goes And that way it keeps the smell down you put it in a bag. I like that. Yeah Sanitary reasons little tricks of the trade you learn as you go, huh? Yeah Yeah, um, we had a question that came in right here from some gentleman or or yeah This fella right here this happy guy right here

Hey, Theo, my name is Brooks longtime listener from Florida, South Carolina My question for your guest tonight is we all know that truck stops for the mecca of the dark arts What's the craziest thing you've ever seen go down at a truck stop? Thank you for everything you guys both do love you gang gang gang, brother I'll tell you almost I'll lead on this one. Go ahead. So I was going to college and and I did go And I went from Louisiana and I drove to

uh, Tucson, Arizona and I had worked all summer man to save up some money So I had me about $1,200 in cash And I'd stayed up. I was up. I was doing uppers gas station uppers no doses Oh, yeah, you know snorting whatever they sold caffeine pill. You can get your hands on. Oh, I was snorting it Dude, I did half of them mountain dew code red Oh, I did half of mountain dew code red straight through one of my nostrils. You know, I fucking do it all I'll do it. Oh shawty. Oh, I don't care. I'll do it. Oh, you know So anyway, so I'm up man. I've been up for probably about 20 hours

In my car. I had this uh 84 Some kind of car. I didn't know what it was didn't even matter really it was a piece of shit, but um, it would overheat So about every maybe 150 miles it got too hot And so I had to pull over and wait about 40 minutes for it to go down and then I had to Make wait for it to cool off so I could put the water in the radiator radiator and then go but start back again Well, I've been up for a fucking a day and a half man. I wasn't doing real well. So I stopped at a truck stop and uh I guess it was maybe nevada. I'm not sure about or arizona or west texas somewhere, but

Man, I had all my money and I was like, I can't leave it in my car. Somebody could break in I'll leave it on my person Right. So I took it put it in my underpants my cash, right? So I went into this gas station I found a place somewhere upstairs. They had like this little lobby kind of place and I just laid on a bench up there And just went to sleep Well, I slept for probably about 40 minutes And I forgot that I had my cash in my underpants when I stood up It just fell out my pant leg and I lost all my money. No, you didn't lost it all man Holy then here's a shady part

Then you're wandering around a gas station for two and a half hours asking people if they found $1,200 cash, right? I don't like they're gonna tell you. Hey, yeah I'll tell you. Oh, sure. None of them are. Is it yours? Would you like to have it back? None of them are gonna tell you No, and the worst part is they all think you're on drugs and shit. Oh, yeah Like if you're looking for a piece of crack you dropped on the ground Like if you found $1,200 cash in here and they're like this dude is on fucking drugs. Yeah, you want dope, man? Yeah, do you run in? What have you run into out there? Have you seen anything wild?

Is there anything going on out there? I've seen fist fights Over parking or a fuel fuel spots. Really? Yeah Or they're in such a hurry they get into an actual fist fight Over getting fuel who gets it first. Damn. I've actually gotten a screaming match with somebody once Over that and how does that work because you're coming in at a certain angle. They're looping around or something All what it is is that you gotta get you take your turns, you know, just like you would in it, you know gas station And the the semi truck in front of you that's supposed to be getting fuel. There's nobody fueling. It's just sitting there idling So I run in to go pay for a parking spot because all the free ones are taken

So you get a reserve spot. That's about 18 15 to 18 dollars. Okay, so it's almost like a k o a campground like you get your space Right, you have to park and pay in park. But there are some that are free. Yes Interesting the ones that are free are the shittier spots in the back, right? It's twisted and turned. It's hard to get to I don't the fucking rape trail right right and down there in the back lower 40s nose bleeds where there's no light You know, do is there a lot of drug use out there? You see any of it? What are these guys on out there? I know some of them are probably doing pills and uppers Drinking. Yeah, that's I've I've smelt it They come in the truck stops and they walk past you and they smell like a brewery

But there are truck stops that sell beer. Hmm. You wouldn't think that a pilot flying j loves or anything like that would actually sell liquor But there are some that that sell alcohol And they could sit in there and get sourced all they want in their truck and as long as they're sober I guess by in the morning They driving and what are you what are you doing for? For for food in there. Do you take food of your own? Do you stop and get stuff? What do you know when I'm off on saturday or sunday monday? Maybe sunday and monday Uh, I'll go to Walmart get everything I need

And put it in, you know stock up my truck paper towels food drinks water everything and load it all up in there and then Go on down the road. So if I get hungry I need to take everything out make a sandwich or I can stick things in the microwave Cook it Yeah, and if you're taking off you're starting off on a on a hall, right? Yeah, what's the snacks you get out the gate? What's that gateway snack? Uh, setup you like to you know donuts really start with a couple donuts on powder donuts. Oh, they're good, huh?

Can't drink milk no more because I'm getting old and uh, can't gut can't handle it So I get the lactose free And it's like the cartons and I'll just have a little knob and turn up the milk and you know donut or two Next thing you know, you've got this powder ring all over your face and you're wiping it off and it's all over your shirt Oh, yeah, like oh this lady parties Yeah, yeah, this is good. Oh, you know, she's fine. Yeah, it's pretty cool But there was a question of the guide asked what the most dangerous thing was Yeah, I did get trust. There was a

Time when I was doing a pre-trip and it was in early in the morning sun was out. It was bright Beautiful morning and I was actually close to the truck stop too. I wasn't out way out in the parking lot And it sounds like a bad joke, but it's really not I had my hood open checking all my fluids checking my belts everything that needed to be checked Plus I was still green at it. So it's Taking me a while to make sure I'm actually probably over checking right. You're doing it all right and here comes this Hispanic guy

He wants to know about how to unplug the elox in your truck And I was telling him all you go inside of the storage door of your truck and open it And sometimes you know plug it. Well, can you come over here to the truck and show me? I was like, no, no, I just told you you can go check it yourself Damn, so went all about my business wiping stuff, you know checking here comes two white dudes Where's husband at? I said, yeah, straight straight straight to it. I said he's in there taking a shit Which I was in there by myself. I don't tell nobody that fake shit husband trick. Yeah, and he's like, uh

Really? Okay. They just stood there and they's talking amongst themselves. I started getting nervous And after about 10 minutes, you know me ignoring them Like I said, uh, that must be one long shit I said, he's probably just getting something to eat since he's shit. Yeah, and he finally they walk off a life right there This black guy a milly vanilla reject. Oh, but he's a big dude Dude, big dude big tall six three muscles. He came in and helped out. He's got the long braids He's got one braid hanging in the front. He's like, why don't you come over here and give a brother some love And I was like, uh, no, I said I got a run to do

I'm driving a truck, you know And I put the hood down latched them and started walking over to the driver's side, you know Kind of a quick speed and get it in my seat And go to grab the door to shut it and he grabs hold of my wrist No way and he yanks. He yanks so hard that I used my feet my other hand to hold myself in the truck And he's like come and give me some love and he when he yanked and I braced and caught myself I grabbed a yank my wrist back and shut the door And I was already trying to put in gear before I'd even released the brakes

Like I'm really trying to take off and the truck's like Because the brakes are still on so I had to release them took off And trying to peel out of there on gravel and fourth gear, you know with the heavy truck and it's like, you know Trying to take off And I get down the road and get on the interstate and broke down and just like damn you're cried You know because I just went limp.

I've done that before a few times What is uh Now are there some outfits and some groups where they can just drive and they don't have to follow those rules Do some people break the rules some people

I think the only ones that can do that. I I'm not positive. It's like farm equipment They don't have to have Certain rules. I think they're allowed on and off the road, but they can't like travel long distances But they don't have to have restrictions and endorsements and They can just get on with their tractor but get get off, you know But no requirements What uh, what's a snack that you'll kind of wait to have if you've been out there a while What's a snack? Maybe you what's a snack that you want you won't have while you drive

Is there something you've had from the gas station? We're like, oh, this makes me sick. I'm not having this again hot dogs. Really? Yeah That's an instant enema. Do you want to eat a hot dog? Take a shit. There you go. It's a risky move Oh, yeah, you don't want to get in there chili. Oh any any place that serves their own Cooked chili may smell good may look good.

So there is so so, uh, is there anything that makes Who couldn't drive truck is there what's what? Are there types of people that couldn't drive truck? What does it take to be a driver? You got one to drive Okay, you that's the first thing if you don't like driving Any kind of driving that's in your own car or anything and you ain't got no business in it Uh, you have to have some patience Because people are idiots out there. Yeah, I mean, there's there's there's too many of them and you got all the road rage And you got to control your own road rage

Um, but just anybody could drive if you wanted to You know, if you wanted too bad enough and you just keep trying You can do it takes a lot of studying a lot of practice. Really? Yeah Backing's hard back and up to me. Yeah Some people are born with the you know to just be able to do it. Yeah, yeah, like just gravy Yeah, eyes closed and get it right in there. There's a backup Benny. Yeah Uh those there. I give the finger. That's what I say, man. Yeah, fuck them, bro. I had to try. I had to practice. Oh, yeah Yeah

But I'm better at it. I ain't gonna stand perfect that I never will be They'll have days where I could back in a spot that's You know super tight and then there's other days that I came back into a football field. Yeah, you know And I've heard that from other drivers too same thing Just kind of whatever your vibe is. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. Yep Um, what's the number one thing you got to remember while you're out there driving? I mean, uh, Is it safety? Is it patience? I mean you said patience, but Um, just trying to think of as anything else that we're kind of missing out any world that we're missing out on you have to have

Like six sets of eyeballs running all the time And people don't understand what it's what the truck consists about That's a lot is the ignorance of the other people. They don't know how heavy it is They don't know that we're getting over to avoid hitting somebody On the the shoulder that's broke down. They think we're just cutting them off You know, so get the hell out of my way. Nobody likes being behind them. Right. We're a little slower for a reason You know, sometimes it is because of the weight, but then there's other times that we have to keep our distance Further back than they do

You know, they ride bumper to bumper in cars, you know, and we have to stay back That's which is uh, 12 seconds at least that's the rule. Yeah Is there what about the headlights y'all use those to send to Like notate things to each other. Yeah. Yeah, it's it's a it's a code um Flipping headlights can and especially during the day can mean usually there's a police officer or dlt sitting somewhere Um, could mean a wreck up the road. They you know flipping them seriously Flipping, you know, you come over the hill. There might be an accident down there

or um Or somebody pulled over a lot of cops pulled over somebody on the side of the road And it could mean high beams basically turn your lights down. Well, I've got them led lights. They're super strong And they you know, they're like x-ray vision Yeah, and I get headlighted, but you know high beams all the time And there's nothing I have to show them that I got. Oh, you want some high beam? Here you go You know They are on low dammit. What do you want me to do?

But There's nothing you can do about it. Is it fun being out there by yourself sometimes cruising? Yes I like looking around. I love the woods And it's it's peaceful You know, there's times that I miss my family. I miss my kids My grandbabies my cat, you know And but then there's times that it's like I can't wait after the weekend of being home. I'm ready to go back out Yeah, I look like driving the trucks. I like shifting gears

Feel like keen calm on the road sometimes. Yeah, I guess it does give you a feeling of power out there Yes, it does. Yes, it does And you got control too because you you can if you have to hold your own lane And you have to stay where you're at because you cannot change lanes to help somebody that's getting off the ramp Every now and then it's gratifying when somebody actually has to stop and let me go You know, I don't have to stop for you. I'm just gonna keep on rolling. Fuck you Actually had a cop Try to pass me on a ramp, which was ridiculous. It's like the worst thing ever and it was police officer

And I'm in the slow lane. Traffic's pretty heavy. There's a lot of traffic coming off the ramp getting on to the interstate So I move over into the middle lane I'm keeping up with traffic and they're moving all pretty slow because they're just getting on so I kindly start to pass them There's still just a tiny bit of ramp left because I let them all go on about their business I get back over in the slow lane and I just out of the corner of my eye just happened glance over in my side mirror There's a freaking cop That's running alongside of me and he's running out of road

And it's like him getting squashed between me and a guardrail And I'm like, what the fuck are you doing? And he ends up backing off because I held my own. I was like piss on you. Yeah, I'm where I'm supposed to be I don't know what the hell you're doing But he ended up backing off got behind me and then ended up into the hammer lane Let's just keep scooting on off. Yeah, and then rolled on down the road. I was like, yeah, that's what I thought. Amen. Yeah. Do you Do you feel like there I bet there's a lot are there some murders? You feel like ever have met a murderer out there because I bet there's a lot of murders in the you probably have

truck and not know it I just I've heard about that there was a truck driver that heard about that Was picking up hitchhikers and stuff lot lizards or whatever And chaining them inside of the cab of his truck Yeah And they call him or who knows? Yeah, they caught him. They caught him. They caught him But it's definitely a job that really, you know, you just stop and buy, you know, you're you're always leaving Be careful. It's like I said, I walk around there with this look on my face

Like I'm gonna kill somebody. I like that. You have to because you can't be Yeah, hey come kill me. Yeah I'm so weak. Hi Yeah, because that's automatic red flag for them, you know, oh dumb bitch dumb bitch Yeah, you know, let's get this hoe But if you walk around and you got that hammer that you just thump tires with and you look like you're gonna Crack some ice skull with it. Amen. People won't bother you. So they leave you alone If you're stirring your coffee with a fucking hammer or ice, I'll use my my pocket knife. Yeah

I've shoveled some gravel. I've worked in motels of gas stations I've had all different kinds of just odd meaningless jobs that wouldn't go nowhere. Yeah, you know, then They offered me a grant that was free because I was on food stamps welfare. Mm-hmm. And uh, I was like, yeah, what's the grant consist about? What is it? What is it?

Oh, I bet huh like me and him sitting in the grass Oh, okay And it's pitch black outside and I guess we was waiting for my mom and dad picks up. Uh-huh

That's why I guess we were there I bet but did I remember being in the car shortly after and my dad always came to he was the one that could bust us If we'd been smoking pot, right and he couldn't fuck. No my mom knew it every time She was the one that didn't smoke. I found out later that my dad was the one that smoked Damn You're too high to know that we're high. She's a little sober when they can tell Dude, I remember I went to green day concert one time. I was so high that I

I watched the opening band and I thought that was green day. I sang all the green day songs You did a hundred percent. I sang every green day song that I knew I heard it as they played it I thought it was green day. It's over. I'm ready to leave ask my friends Are we ready to go and then like green day hasn't even performed yet? And it my who was you jamming to in your own head? I mean besides it being green day Who is actually playing? I don't know. You want to look at up green day tour in 1994? 1995 maybe? I don't know But damn they were good, man. I'll say that. We was doing some kind of something with hallucinogen in it

Oh, dude, I remember. It could have been Beethoven playing anything since green day Yeah, this is good jamming. I'll tell you this one too. So at another can you see who their opener was? Maybe if you see their tour history, maybe would that be it or I'm not sure. Yeah, there you go Uh, green day tour. It should maybe be on there 20. Yeah, let's do 95 maybe See if they played new warlands. It doesn't say they're opener though, does it? Yep, that was it right there December 6th, dude Well other acts the Riverdales, dude I don't know who they were, but they sound just like they were just doing covers of green day. I think

The Riverdales Riverdales, okay Alrighty then I'll tell you this they good man. They were real good. And then here's the worst part another time I went to some concert And I remember being high somebody laced a joint or just laced me. I think the Lord just laced me in there done that In there done that and uh and damn man. I had a damn uh I uh I got so high. I remember thinking I was a raccoon for a couple minutes And I found this man at the back of the thing and I was feeling on his chest and I thought he was in a uh

In the war and it was a cop. He had like a badge on I remember feeling the badge I'm like, were you in the war? You know, I thought it was like a medal or something, you know And he's like, I'm a fucking cop man, you know You need to take this bullshit into the bathroom. I was like, I think I'm dying He goes, well, you need to fucking go die in the bathroom, son He didn't care He said you need to go fucking die here. I mean, I've been feeling on his damn chest. I don't blame him really But I was like, I couldn't see I thought I was a raccoon. I'm glad I didn't tell him I thought I was a raccoon

Because yeah, he probably would have put a straight jacket on your ass I don't think people want to hear that You know But yeah, it was fun going to concerts, man. Did you ever up the ante on drugs? You ever got lsd was popular back then, huh? I don't like it I actually tried it just twice and only did a half a hit each time I tried it and I didn't like it Yeah, it it's just It's weird things happen and it wasn't that I was tripping. It was just something that odd

It's in the middle of summertime first time I tried it half a hit and I'm it's it's hot and I'm standing on my friend's porch and I look down and Just this random dog walks in front of me and barfs, but as he's barfing he's barking up and it's just kind of Long gating out of his mouth and I'm like, what the fuck? You know, what is this? You know, it just didn't care for that then the second time I tried it with my brother and a friend of ours Stephanie. Oh, wow And it was just a half time. Yeah, and we're driving down the road

We're in shepherdsville and we're coming around a corner where the stockyards are And we saw this line of traffic ahead of us that's coming toward us. We're like, what the hell? And we saw this There's a guy on this horse is running full speed Coming toward us in the that we're on acid Okay, and there's a horse that's holding up all his traffic Well, as he's running full gallop. He's running to us. It looks like the legs are flailing off like this as the horse is run Yeah

We're all three laughing so damn hard that we can't drive. So we actually had to pull over And sit there until we could catch our breath run the snot off our nose and the eyes And we're like, what the hell was we just looking at? Was that a guy on a horse? What the hell is that? And it just how do you pick two times that you see a dog vomit And a guy on a horse in the middle of the fucking road Oh, look rolling full speed. There ain't no cart back there. He's just go loom. Go loom Like he's at the kentucky derby, you know on the interstate It's like, what the hell

Yeah, that's god right there. I'm telling you this because I remember one time being high on mushrooms or something and Be went to the gas station and all the ground just suddenly all these little pieces of oil look like it started running around everywhere And I'm like, oh my god, is that roaches? What is this? You know, it's just insane And then we go inside and the guy said as we're leaving. I swear to god, he goes Uh, y'all be a little conscious by the pumps. There's uh, we got a roach infestation by the pumps and I'm like And I'm just thinking when if I when has there ever been a roaches by a gas pump ever Maybe one you see one every now and then but like a roach infestation

Just sometimes weird shit happens when you're on drugs and just it doesn't You're like, damn this make things so are they making flock or something? Yeah, it could have been It's like they made something so much weirder But a dog bar for them would fucking lose my mind, man If you had advice or suggestions for any women who were thinking about that getting into the trucking business or anything like that Was there any any suggestions you'd offer to them? Yes Um get plenty of sleep Don't let the job run your life. You are the captain of your own ship

You know you when you are tired stop You know if you want a shower take a shower you know, it's Same kinds of things, you know, you want to you want to do your job and you want to be out here on time But you also want to stay human and be able to function Because if you can't then you don't need to be driving And a lot of times you're getting pushed to get there do this one do this one do this one You ain't done yet. You ain't done it. Oh by the way, you need to go here. You need to go there

And it's like no I have to sleep. Yeah, I have to have a shower. I gotta get something to eat You know, you can't ignore it or if you ignore yourself you can't drive. It's just not worth it and it ain't safe It's interesting you say that man that some of those same things in my own life right now It's been realizing I got to do more taking care of myself, you know, plus you want to find a job that you actually like doing You don't want to stay stuck driving and hate it Because that ain't for you if you hate it You know and you have to you have to keep Your head turned all the time and watch behind your back

You know, I think if you help people that eventually it'll come around to you eventually sometime or another Yeah, but karma is kind of cool to sit and watch if you just be patient and let it happen It's one cool thing I like about I feel sorry when people die young And sometimes they die early in their life because they don't get to life really does have that full karma effect Really in a lot of ways you get to see things come back around and you're like, oh, wow Don't you see somebody cut you off the ultimate on the road? You know, this is like the prize winner the big chicken dinner If you see somebody cut you off or cut somebody else off

And then immediately following is these blue lights flying after that person Then you can sit there in that truck and laugh your ass off And point your finger and just be like As you go down the road. Yeah, that's that's the revenge. That's the ultimate sweet revenge right there. I like that Uh, ginger. Thank you so much for being here with us. You're welcome. We really appreciate it and uh, thanks for asking me Yeah, it's really it's an honor and it's just cool to learn about the business and And hear about some of the you know pros and cons of it and and just to see a woman out there working hard getting it done Bustin they amen roll

Now I'm just floating on the breeze and I feel I'm falling like these leaves. I must be cornerstone Oh, but when I reach that ground, I'll share this peace of mind. I found I can feel it in my bones But it's gonna take a little time For me to set that parking brake and let myself on my Shine that light on me

I'll sit and tell you my story Please shine on me And I will find a song I will sing it just for you And now I've been moving way too fast on the runaway train with a heavy load of my past And these wells that I've been riding on they want so thin that they're damn they're gone
