While I wait for this to download, I'll go make some lunch, and then tell you what I do for entertainment. Ok, I'm here. I drive tractor trailer for a large reputable company, so I may have lost a customer or two out of the deal, but maybe created others through their being entertained. On my route, I go through a small town, and a small city. When I see someone going for a sip of coffee, or answering the cell phone, I love to give a small blast on the twin Hadleys! I've seen dropped phones and spilled coffee more than a few times, but It doesn't get old!! After I blast 'em one, I quick look the other way and pretend to wave at someone.

I drove a loaner rig once that had an air starter on a Cummins. I learned quickly to wait until folks were right next to the cab before letting it rip. Really screamed, like an air ratchet on steroids. Good stuff.

Listen closely at the people cussing him out at about the 38 second mark or so. Priceless.

As an EX TRUCKER,,,
I used to have kids begging me to blow the horn! Going down the road and see the kids in the backseat giving me the "PULL THE CORD!"

But these BOZOS (Sorry Dale Sommers a.k.a. The Truckin' Bozo!) That need to get a BETTER System! You guys aint got enough air supply to do it right!
