“Driving My Life Away”-Eddie Rabbitt

Like my father used to say while driving big rigs, “keep it between the mustard and the mayonnaise.”

One of the few nowadays it seems. I remember dad telling me when we passed a truck when I was a little guy, “ that right there son is a professional, you don’t have to worry about them.”

Now most of them are coked up foreigners that do 65 in the left lane passing another one doing 64.5.

What are some things you have seen people doing while driving? Ever get flashed?


Several times. Some good, some that gave me ptsd. Lots of ladies giving roadhead and the dude slowed the car down next to the truck to show off - lol. Saw a few ladies using vibrators to pass the time in traffic jams, etc.

I've seen a lot of stupid shite too - like people reading newspapers, books, tablets, etc. Saw one guy with a 4 year old in his lap with no seat belt around them.

Traffic wise, the Atlanta loop. Always jammed from the bottlenecks getting on and off the loop.

Physical shape wise, theres a stretch of i55 north of West Memphis, AR that is in horrific shape but its brand new. The construction company somehow made it that each section of concrete is 4" higher than the next. It elevates in that section then drops to the next. It rattles the hell out of trucks and I'm sure damages freight.

That stretch is terrible along with I-57 for the little stretch in Missouri before you hit the speed traps near Cairo, Illinois. I go 7+mph above the speed limit on the interstate except for that 40 mile stretch there where I only go 4 over.

Those are generally targeted to the trucks with unmuffled jakes. I use mine all the time and it barely makes any extra noise, it saves wear and tear on the actual braking system.

ESPECIALLY at red lights. Nothing worse than 2 semis crawling away from a light side by side.

Generally those two dont go together. I'd rather jerk off in a rest area than spin the wheel of STD-roulette with those toothless methheads. Can always save it for the Nevada border cat houses too!

For those of us in Baton Rouge, what is this "loop" you speak of?

Don't worry. If you stay in BR you'll never encounter one.
