But you can’t just talk to any ol’ goon about the art of proper load securement and how much you love winch straps. People look at ya like you’re crazy!
I remember stopping off at a diner in Tulsa and this waitress was chatting me up about my truck. I forgot she was just a waitress and was workin’ for her tip, and I started going off about how I got some new rachet tie down straps from DC Cargo Mall. She gave me that blank deer-in-the-headlight stare that I knew all too well. It was like I was speakin’ Chinese! But I couldn’t help it, you can’t help but talk about what you like doin’. I suppose if I was a surgeon, I’d want to talk about slicin’ folks up all day too.
I was getting’ frustrated with not being able to find like-minded folks who really understood trucking, the trucking industry, and everything about it. I was making a joke about it to a buddy of mine, and he told me about the American Truck Historical Society.
I became a proud member, and now get Wheels of Time magazine, to read up on the latest trucking news.
They even have an online calendar where I can keep up with the latest events and meet up with some fellow truck connoisseurs.
