paulie b-retired trucking co owner
 

actually i was looking for a place to sell my unique personal truck, but i understand i must post 25 messages in order to do so

since i am out of the trucking bus and disabled i am afraiad i dont have much to offer you folks

the worst thing was losing my cdl
after driving trucks for 33 yrs, i feel like i am walkin around nekked
glad to see so many folks into the muttering sound of a big ole cat tho- nothing like haulin 5ss down monteagle with a stack of 4 tractors in a snowstorm headed back to my boat in tampa(also diesel)
enjoy your trucks- severe shortage of good qualified reliable truck drivers out there

be cool on yo stool

Welcome to DieselBombers :c:

:howdy: :hi:

Welcome, the great thing about this site is the sharing of knowledge we all bring as a collective source. I am sure your 30+ years OTR can help someone here! Glad your Here!

welcome

:hi: your not kidding about the shortage. All these truck driving school graduates need some lessons from the old school drivers.

:howdy: You sound like a cool dude. It's too bad you can't make this your second home.

welcome. aint been at as long as you were but I agree with on the shortage

:howdy::howdy:

Howdy! :howdy: Welcome to Diesel Bombers! Glad to have you here, once you start looking around and seeing what goes on, you'll never wanna leave! With 33 years of driving experience, we're not going to want ya to, either!

:hi: Enjoy your stay.. :c:

thanks for the flowers
 

i gotta say- i was touched by the warm welcome from you folks-sniff sniff--dont wanna sound too sappy

since i been sick i just lay around and watch the tube and read a lot- borinng as hell

you can be alive without living

sold ou my businesses for a lot of cabbage, but between bad loans,investments and gifts to charities i aint got much left-wanted to leave more to my kids

i would like to drop in on this site -but frankly the website is really confusing
where do you go to just go to a regular chat room w/ regular folks-maybe proffesional steerin wheel holders, or just fans of d trucks

i lived em since i was a kid-actually started hauling air frt at 16 yrs old around jfk, newark , philly and lga in nyc-worked for the -um italian american social organizations-so the lack of a real d/l wasnt an issue
moved away at 21 to colorado and became an o/o with a 82 frtliner cabover- 33" bunk, no air, no power steering, no air ride- reel teeth rattler-you wore your seatbelt so your head didnt hit the ceiling

maybe someone could direct me to a cool chatroom as a regular hangout-i still have a bad %ss ford 2005 f250 with a 5 ft stretch to accomodate a custom 48" sleeper w/ dvd and tv- also a genset 5kw 3 cyl cummins watercooled to run a roof a/c-htr- the bunk has an a/c unit that runs off the main pwrplant while in motion, but i put the genset/roof rig in when the anti idling laws started being enforced
any way- time for meds-sucks to be 1/2 dead at 48- i retired a millionaire at 44- and was retired 5 mos before i got sick-its been 4 1/2 yrs of pain, docs ,meds and 23 hospital stays ever since

like to chat w some of you fellas -and gals- especially gals
so if theres a decent chat rm there i'd appreciate a recommendation

y'all drive careful-shiny side up-greasyside down

Here's a shortcut to the chat room: https://www.dieselbombers.com/addonchat.php

The actual link is on the bottom nav bar on top of the page. It'll say chat room with a number in brackets sometimes, one left of the log out link. :U:

Welcome Paulie - were glad to have you onboard...:c:
