Wednesday, July 26, 2006. NYC HIPSTERS LOVE DEER HUNTING VIDEO GAME. Remember the last time you were at Harpo's or Fox and Hound and you saw a bunch of people surrounding a Golden Tee or NFL Blitz coin-op video game? Imagine a bunch of liberal, PETA-belonging NYC hipsters acting the same way over a deer hunting video game. The Mail...

ROAD RAGE: July 2012
http://littletrucker.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Jul 23, 2012. July 22, 2012). I now resort to calculating my next fuel stop by mileage. Of course, I tend to fuel more often than I probably need to, but with only about 450 miles between tank fills, I prefer to play it safe. I do need to hit the Pete Dealer and get that replaced because the NO FUEL light is starting to get on my nerves a little bit. Like, I said, for the most part, the truck seems to be fine. Oh wait, I have been there before. Jul 17, 2012. This is Spinal Tap. This one goes to Eleven.

ROAD RAGE: Bombs Away....
http://littletrucker.blogspot.com/2012/11/bombs-away.html
Nov 19, 2012. Once again the Kia gods have got me in their sites. Last week I was sent to load up some more of those disposable cars. I backed an Optima over the hood and raised the deck. It was dusk by the time I finished loading. I was making my way towards DC and after awhile I noticed the puddle of water on my hood was not dispersing. How odd! It had no odor, but the longer I stared at it, the more it reeked. After an entire evening of dry heaving and smelling the nonexistent scent of regurgitation, ...

ROAD RAGE: May 2012
http://littletrucker.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
May 24, 2012. One In A Million. Into everyone's life a little rain must fall. Ohhhhh, how I wish I had stopped early! An hour after leaving the shop, the storm was catching me and I was watching a magnificent display of lightning. In fact, I had a front row seat. Actually I became part of the show. While traveling north on I-77 through North Carolina, I had a one in a million experience when, SNAP CRACKLE POP. Hopefully, tomorrow will bring with it good news. If not, I am heading home because the sho...

ROAD RAGE: April 2012
http://littletrucker.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Apr 30, 2012. Easy Come, Easier Go. As I mentioned in my last post, learning the Quick Loader left little to the development of my skills and therefore, my only real challenge was to fit the bigger vehicles on the load. Okay, so I didn't mention all of that, but I mentioned the part where I get a little giddy shoving big pick ups on my trailer. But before we say goodbye, there was one more moment of uber excitement that came with the very last load I hauled in the Sterling. Talk about a tight squeeze!

ROAD RAGE: August 2012
http://littletrucker.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Aug 29, 2012. This is my account of a fatal accident. There are some things that you never want to see. And some things you will never forget. Today I witnessed the scene of a fatal accident. The image will haunt me. This is the tenth time I have witnessed the scene of a life expired. I feel the best way for me to find peace about this, is to write it down. Perhaps you may want to skip this blog post. He still had his seat belt on. Aug 23, 2012. A Forum for Professional Car-Haulers! Aug 13, 2012. If you ...

ROAD RAGE: Has It Been a Year Already?
http://littletrucker.blogspot.com/2012/09/has-it-been-year-already.html
Sep 8, 2012. Has It Been a Year Already? It has been a year. On September 6th, I celebrated my one year anniversary as a car-hauler. And a lot has happened in the past year. I loaded small loads. I loaded big loads. I loaded even bigger loads. I am becoming more confident with every load. I received a brand new truck after only 8 months. My new truck was hit by lightning after only 2 weeks. I had my first steer tire blow out in 14 years of driving commercial vehicles. I had my first major accident. I hav...

ROAD RAGE: September 2012
http://littletrucker.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Sep 14, 2012. Well, it has been a month since I experienced my first steer tire blowout. But that was not where the story ended. After having a used tire put on, I was able to make it to my dealership to get unloaded. The next morning, I was going to have to shop the truck to have some hydraulic lines replaced. Lucky for me, one of my routine motels was close by. Oh crap. Still in the left lane, with my right turn signal engaged, my first thought is that the USED steer tire replacement has just erupt...
