Hey DB ... you gotta light on your truck

So .. driving big rigs over the road has taken me to cities large and small. Most of the routes border, and are east of, the Missouri River and I've crossed every state from NY to FL plus IL to TX. Lots of new sights and adventures.

Recently while in NJ a local driver flagged me down. He ran up to my truck yelling "Mister, mister... you gotta light on your truck."

Somewhat puzzled, and a little annoyed, I countered with " Dude, there's probably 30 lights on this truck!"

To which he countered ... "Mister, you have a streetlight on top of your truck!"

"Oh my, I said ... when I swerved to miss a car that cut me off I thought I only scratched the pole on the corner ... oh my."

Needless to say the local police were not amused.

and that's a BIG 10 - 4 truckers!
