Trucking Stories
Just Say No
Last weekend, driving through Nevada, we stopped briefly at a truck stop. As I'm waiting for my partner to get back from the washroom (or as they call 'em down 'ere in the US, restrooms. Don't ask for a washroom, the natives confuse easily), a trucker got out of a nearby rig and started checking on his trailer. Old, no shirt on, pants down way too low, giving you a good view of the top three or four inches of his underwear. Let's just say I believe the only reason he was even wearing pants was to get out of the truck.
There should be a law.
When you hear the words "Truck Driver," I highly doubt your first thoughts are of a well cut, highly attractive specimen of the human race. Both pants and shirts should be required, by law, for truck drivers. At the very least when leaving the cab. Maybe it's not so bad lettin' it all hang out on the highway. I mean have you ever been to Nevada? Its hot! (-40°C I'm used to, but not +40°C) But you must remain fully clothed at all truck stops and weight stations, even the women. Maybe you think "okay, the topless women are allowed." Yes, there is the odd female trucker. And some of them ain't hard to look at. But statistics for attractive females truckers are worse than those for male truckers. I'm willing to not see the attractive ones naked if in return I get to never ever see the three hundred pounders naked.
Every privilege has its price. I, for one, am willing to pay the price. Maybe a bumper sticker would do it: Just Say No To Naked Truckers.
