Did you happen to work on pipelines when you met that driver ?I rode with a guy years ago when I was a swamper. Smooth as silk. From that day forward I drove like him.

I have never heard anyone called a swamper since I worked on pipelines.
It's fun to ride with or watch a smooth driver. Set of sticks or otherwise. You don't see the antennas or cab flopping around. I rode with a guy years ago when I was a swamper. Smooth as silk. From that day forward I drove like him. I wanted to be so smooth you almost couldn't tell when I changed gears. Other than when I get in a hurry I'm like that. I've had plenty of practice! Easy on, easy off progressive shifts.
Watching the "gear jammers" who call themselves drivers kill me. Damn cabs look like they're about to be flipped off the frame.
I'd love to tame a 16V anything! V12 Cat or whatever. I've driven some mean trucks. One guy I knew had a SALTY KTA in an old W900A. Stupid HP and I have no doubt driven poorly it would spit the driveline into the next county.
I haven't come home clean two days in a row in years. When I walked in yesterday my youngest looked at me like "what are you doing home on a Monday?" It's funny the routine they get used to.
Just as long as it wasn't your better half saying that!

That's a new one on me.
I could not understand what you were saying took a bit of time then I finally noticed! Kind of like those test where they put duplicate words in to see if you notice. Took over a year for someone to notice or mention it here!I've been following this thread for quite a while and only just noticed its "Junkayrd's Work Thread"

Sounds like me, more than once I have had to resort to an old paper dictionary to get a word spelled right after trying several times to get my computer's spell checker to understand what I wanted to write!Hookid on fahonics workid four mee
