Encounters with Fans and Online Popularity

week. How does it feel to be the most popular trucker on the East Coast right now? Oh man, I tell you I am totally amazed at the responses I got from the video you did. Uh Uh I went to Black Mountain Ingles and I loaded. They came down our office. People were standing around looking at the truck and driving and shaking my hands and then I was sitting around 40 a pedestrian walked out in front of my car. Of course it killed him and they had him covered up in the meeting. The traffic was just barely flowing along. This car pulled up beside of me. I looked down and it was a Florida license plate. I saw the guy wanting to come down and start blowing horn. I thought, "Did I cut this guy off in the traffic back there?" >> [clears throat] >> And he leaned out the window and he said, "I saw your video. I really like it." And he said, "I never dreamed I'd see you out here on the road." That's hilarious. And he had a Florida license plate. Wow. And then I went to the MDI and I'm laying across the dog house asleep. Some guy knocked on the door and it was a guy from Canada. And he and he he said, "You're the guy that did the video." And I said, "Yeah." He said, "Man." And he shook my hand and he said, "Man." And he said, "Nice to meet you." He said, "I never dreamed I'd ever see you out here living running late. I saw the video and I really liked it." And I've gotten 600 and some responses and and well over 100 uh friend requests. Really? >> I've got people calling wanting to buy my this truck and the old one with the big cat in it, the model. And I've had all the heavy people to call wanting the wrecks just to come up here and look at the stuff. It's It's just been It's just been phenomenal. I put a shoulder lap harness in this side like the new trucks have got and just added all of that stuff cuz nobody ever rides with me. So, this still the original seat? Yeah. Okay. What year did you say this was? An '80? Yeah. I changed all the switches. I like the toggle better than I do the the switches. I put tilt steering in it. I want that on the back axle when I turn. That make it easier? It'll make it easier to turn. Oh, ain't but it's easier on the trailer. Uh-huh. You dump the air on that? Well, some guys use front axle, some use the back. I use the back. That's the way the trailer turns sharper. If you don't dump the air, it slides the tires so bad. It's just a lot easier on the dump the air on lower axle than pivot on one or the other. And that's why…
