The other thing I saw was that I still laugh about it to this day. I was stuck in bridge construction in Arkansas and looked over, and through the trees, there was an adult novelty store. What caught my attention was the large number of white buses typically used by nursing homes. Only to see on the sign, senior citizens week, get 33% off. They may be old, but they wasnt dead.

Each job comes with its pros and cons. As this discussion on Reddit shows, each person manages to find good and bad things about their place of work. For instance, people find facts like flexibility, salary, and work-life balance as benefits, while things like instability, overly hard work, and minimum wage are disadvantages. You know, to each their own.
Working as a trucker is not an exception here – it has both advantages and disadvantages, depending on who you ask. Typically, there are several things that are distinguished, like the pros of this kind of job: shift flexibility, lower education requirements, high entry-level pay, and company support.

First time into Los Angeles from Utah and Nevada from i15 going south and got stuck in what i call Sunday evening traffic.
Youve got tons of folks going home from thr casinos before Monday and.... Too many cars and not enough road and you get traffic jams.
Anyway so im rolling slowly and see a car next to me. An oldee ford explorer. There's some guys in it and i dont pay much attention until the passenger up front sees me. He looks twice. Gets his friends attention and theres four oe five college aged dudes in this car.
They give the arm pump so i blow the air horn, they all celebrate, we move on.
Or so i thought.
They get in front of my truck and slow down. Im watching them immediately thinking that some shenanigans are going to happen when one od the guys amidst some jostling, *dives* into the very back seat/trunk area.
They slow down, the diving guy gets up and drops his pants and underwear and proceeds to do a helecopter.
Im actually stunned. Ive had women flash me so far, but nothing like this.
So i did all i could think of and gave them a thumbs up.
They cheered. We continued on. They got lost in traffic. So if youre on here, thanks for that memory.

Edit to my comment, I had no idea so many people would respond. This happened in Kansas City.
At the same time, there are some common drawbacks as well. Like time away from home and family, loneliness, and the cost of a CDL. The latter refers to the commercial driver's license, which is required if you want to drive large vehicles, like trucks, and costs quite a pretty penny.
One additional thing we haven’t mentioned about the life of a trucker is the fact that they get a chance to travel quite a lot. In fact, some say that truckers are among the most well-traveled people. After all, for their job, they have to drive numerous miles, crossing borders and visiting new places.

I once witnessed, while driving on a busy southern California highway, during the middle of a normal workday, a fairly young and very fit woman straddling and bouncing up and down on (***f*****g***) a man in the driver's seat of a pickup truck (facing him) with her shirt and bra up around her neck.
They passed my truck fairly slowly and we (all three of us) locked eyes for a good 5 seconds before they drove off into obscurity.

And what’s being said about traveling? Well, that opens a person's eyes to new experiences. So, imagine how many possibilities for new experiences truck drivers have – simply put, their whole job is about traveling, ultimately.
While usually traveling is viewed as an inherently good thing that brings nice experiences, it doesn’t mean that’s 100% of the time. Sometimes, some experiences are rather questionable, to put it lightly.

I was so taken aback I didn’t know how to react. Usually they’re pissed, but she was smiling and waving while drinking her morning coffee.

The next was the guy ahead of me reading his Bible while driving down the highway. Like wedged into the corner, then rested over his steering wheel, etc. All I could think was “mother f****r, you’re about to meet all the characters if you keep this up”.
Again, truck drivers aren’t an exception here either. Here, on today’s list, you'll find plenty of stories from truckers experiencing wild things on their jobs. Not all of them are good or bad; some are just straight up weird.
Like a guy in a minivan playing a trumpet without any further context. Or a goat riding in the passenger seat with a seatbelt on. Well, you are likely not going to see such things, at least not often, without traveling quite a bit. Or maybe you will, if you live somewhere weird.

A bunch of different women steering with their knees, putting on makeup in the rear view mirror. A guy watching a movie on his cell phone. He was all over the road, speed all over the place.
Have seen people shaving, changing clothes, etc.
A surprising number of people drive without pants.
Either way, experiences like the ones described on today’s list, compiled from stories shared all around the net, are definitely making truck drivers’ lives and jobs entertaining. Maybe it even makes you wonder – perhaps it’s a pretty fun job to do?
Do you have any similar stories to share? You can do so in the comments!

Thought it was hilarious.

I guess she was driving slow to try to reduce spilling as much as possible. Like... put it in a thermos or a bowl with lid or... eat something not liquid?!
Also, there's this couple I've seen a couple times near the yard. Passenger must be deaf, because the driver is signing to them, and has to look over for several seconds straight to see them signing back.
