Something New for the Week

I had to work in the shipping office today, and I got to thinking about who my all-star truck driving team would be out of my friends. So, instead of FOW here is the All-Star Truck Driving Team for 2005.

1. S. Woodham - This guy has a truck driver's look. He has a receding hair line and also has these pointed toe cowboy boots that would be awesome for driving. He would also get great mileage on his rig b/c I have seen how many miles he has put on the White Ford Explorer (200K+)

2. Bridgers Family - They would be an awesome team driving combo. I mean they could do the cross country trips. They get along great together and while one slept the other could drive. I have heard first hand that truck stops are pretty romantic stops too. Oh yea...don't forget Moses, he gets to drive when Wellon and Stephen want to spend some time in the sleeper together.

3. L. Agnew - Have you ever seen how clean his car is? He would definitely be on my list to enhance the beauty of it. His rig would always be clean, and it would definitely be kept up. He would get the most out of any rig. I also see Lewis sleeping in the cab and than walking into a shipping office with his glasses, and Kiss Me I'm Italian shirt on. That is straight up truck stop material.

4. A. Holt - Budweiser tank top, five o'clock shadow, and chest hair...that is all.

5. R. Brumberg - For some reason this guy just has the trucker image. I mean he would be a killer driver and would probably dominate the industry. I have seen him sport multiple hats that are straight up truck stop, and his enthusiasm for a career that is alternative would definitely fit.

There is my All-Star team right there...now for the ones that were left off.

Maggie Carter - Look at how many wrecks she has had...disaster waiting to happen, especially in a big rig.
Jordan Orso - Sorry, they don't have plush accommodations in the sleeper of a rig. Just a mattress and room for your clothes.
Robbie Fiser/Betsy Nicholson - Sorry no workout facilities in the truck stops. Also for R. Fiser you have to have a sense of direction.
Will Gaither - Way too many speeding tickets...
My Dad/My Grandmother - You too go to sleep to easily. The long nights would kill you.
Anna Fiser - Truck stops are not very clean. You would never make it.
Everyone Else - You wouldn't like the lifestyle...It seems pretty boring.
If you feel that you deserved to be on the list for the All-Star team please let me know and I will reconsider for next years team.

Darryl Waltrip thought he deserved to be on a list of drivers. He has alot of experience.

I feel very honored to be included on this list. The reasons are all plausible, and after the look I showed everyone on Friday night, my place is undeniable. Swift hat, old jeans, flannel jacket. Nearly unstoppable. I'll add another 700+ miles on the Explorer today.

On behalf of the whole Bridgers family, I thank you. We do put on one hell of a road trip. I'd say we're the "Mrs. Agnew's white chicken chili" of road trippers, and getting behind a big rig would only enhance our rep. Also, Moses could out drive Woodham any day of the week, although both of them need booster seats to see the road.

Looks like four of the five top cars are Fords, just like it should be. Last time I checked only Jeff Gordon drove a Subaru on Sundays, but this is a pretty good list. Long live the 3!!!

First of all, thats a great list. Secondly, if the contest was off-road truck driving I should at least be in the top three.

MARKUS- if a hippy mexican draws no suspicion then you are home free. Just like when cheech and chong crossed the border in the marijuana car while the border patrol had the nuns.

The Ru'. As a car man I will say that crocodile dundee does sport one.

Craig Hey should never be included on anyone's all-star list of driving, unless it is the list for who can most carelessly wield their car as a weapon, I have ridden with Craig many times, I have seen three dog's, five squirrels, two birds, a parakeet, and a leming; but in Craig's defense he would have probably killed himself eventually, but aside from these few creatures they all pale in comparison to the "accident" and if you don't know what that is then friends it is a great conversation piece, just ask him.
