FINALLY!!!

[stormcrow]

Well I'm not muscular in stature so it is mostly just extra baggage.

It's only as "conducive" as you make it. Even when i was OTR, I kept healthy foods in my fridge and lots o fruit and rarely anything sweet. I also didn't eat much fast food. Most of the time, when i shut down, I would grab the day's newspaper from whatever city/state I was in and fix my dinner and just sit in the back of the truck and eat and watch TV. Before sleeping, I would get up and walk around whatever lot I was at for about an hour. I'm local now and still keep just wheat crackers in the truck and a lot of bananas with water in my fridge. Later, QD.

I didn't much think about the fact that you had a fridge in the rig. That is a good idea to stock it with healthier choices. This probably saves you quite a bit of money on food, as well.

Not going to address the computer background. Ok. Moving on. It wasn't a trap, just more of a professional curiosity.

So, I do have a question. Is the lingo "Good buddy" now meaning homo? (or has it for a while?) I heard this, but since I am not in the biz, I didn't know. I have used CB quite often back in the day, but it was more side-band and CQ-DX crap...(long distance...had a 250w booster, side-band radio and oil-cooled antenna) so I didn't play on channel 19.

Congrats QD.. damn living on savings for 5 months, smart man to save for a rainy day (or half a year.lol.)

^^ Hahah. I also had a little bit help from my family, to help save from reaching into other monetary savings.

Never heard anything about the "good buddy" stuff so I don't know where you got your info. Yes I saved money by grocery shopping. Spent about $30/40 per week.

I have a computer operations/computer science degree. Later, QD.

I have heard about the "good buddy", my teacher at CDL school told us about it. You say "driver" when talking to others. I don't have a CB in my Volvo so I don't worry about it either way.

Driver or (I hear a lot) neighbor are two terms to describe the other truckers. I keep a radio in all the trucks I drive just to know what's ahead of me. Later, QD.

Ya one of my trainers back in the day (retired fire fighter) was smart how he had his own fridge and bought groceries. I mean he would be taking down canned soup and what not lol. I just ate out like cheap fast food (Subways for the healthy, buy banana's-oranges-juice-water-etc., Arbys, McD's, BK, etc....) You can still be around 70 bucks a week on that but ya grocery shopping is better. I just like eating out lol. This is when i was out 3 weeks at a time OTR cross country, im talking California, Arizona, NM, Colorado, upstate, midwest, just all over lol.

I had heard "good buddy" being said from old movies back in the 70's... i think they even said it on Smokey and the Bandit. I was playing around on channel 19 one day with a friend of mine after having put in the booster to see what kind of signal I was putting out...(btw, shot skip and hit a trucker in Roanoke, VA out of south GA...not too shabby) and I said "thanks, good buddy" to the trucker. Who, of course, gave no response to that. My friend stated not to say that because it was lingo to show you packed fudge. I thought he was kidding. Guess not.

[quickdodge®]

I thought he was kidding. Guess not.

I think he was kidding. I've heard the term "good buddy," of course. But never to mean anything other than that. Nowadays I don't normally hear "good" in front of buddy. A lot of folks just say something like, "thanks, buddy." Later, QD.

hmmm.. a quick Google search shows others who think it means the same. Don't really know the validity of it, but it seems the general consensus that "good buddy" is now slang for a gay male trucker or an insult.

meh. who knows. I would just stay away from it, I guess.

Hey man if you feel like you need to run from here to there across the virtual world in an ongoing quest to prove everything I say wrong, then by all means, do it. I'm as smart as I say I am and maybe even smarter. Later, QD.

Thanks, Brian. I can breathe a sigh of relief now, man. Later, QD.

really, man? complex much? it was in no way my intention to prove you wrong. i asked you a question that i thought you may have the answer to since it somewhat related to your chosen profession. you stated you didn't know, but didn't believe it to be true. another individual here (echonova) stated that they thought they had heard the same thing as i. i was just trying to help us all out and see if i could find any truth out there. i even stated that i didn't know if those links were truth or not.

lighten up. you're not showing any brilliance by reading negativity into everything i post instead of reading what i post.

again, welcome back to the land of the employed. that is what this thread is all about. congrats, man.

[quickdodge®]

complex much?

Not ever. Later, QD.
