In the words of Joe Cocker all I need is a “little help from my friends”.
McCartney, actually...
the words I mean...
Just sayin'...
but Joe Cocker rocked that tune like none of the dozens of other covers.

Why do girls always name their cars?Pssssst... I have a Saturn. 2004 Ion. Her name is Eileen. She rattles a little in the vents and she listed to the left a little when I got her (fixed now) but she's a good one. Really has some get up and go, tooshe was practically new when I got her, only had around 26,000 miles on. Did want to trade in for another truck but I got too attached.
Operative words: "used to be." Lot of "old school" guys can't get past that.

I only had one vehicle that I named. It was this old rusty lumbering pile of junk 1979 Dodge pickup. I called it "The Dodge". I got the idea from Al Bundy.![]()

Sometimes "progress" is when you realize you've done f*ed up & that the best course of action is to turn around and go back.
Metaphorically speaking, of course....

My dad named it that. Because it's a blue Ford. But as he's getting older, he's either going senile or his testosterone levels crashed. He owns a Mazda Miata.Who's Blueford?
wow... a few years, i had a freightshaker with a nice fridge. i would imagine what is known as a college dorm sized one..??? (or close to it)
That Al Jazeera piece attempts to portray Harsell as a typical truck driver.
The average idiot will only see the junky old truck, the barefoot scruffy looking old man who could easily pass for a homeless guy at a soup kitchen, and his other eccentricities & think we're all like that.
That guy has some highly respectable political views regarding trucking & excessive regulation but his unique and strange lifestyle is entirely his own. He's eccentric & has a lot of philosophical views that to the rest of us are simply bizarre, such as his adamant opposition to modern plumbing.
He was on this forum for a while but he left because we picked on him too much.
If you decide to latch on to some truck driver & kind of emulate that Al Jazeera piece, please don't pick some eccentric weirdo because if you do, your article or documentary will be no more accurate or respectable as journalism than some dramatized trash you'd see on Ice Road Truckers & it will further damage the general public's already negative stereotypical view of the professionals who keep this country rolling.
Not hating..
Now that guy is the Heart And Soul of Trucking....
Infact one day I "aspire" to be like Mr Harsell....
Why you be "HATING"......
