Profile For John Douglas Barrow

Ya gotta hand it to Toad... He's like the OG troll here at TT. That's saying something.

You all don't know me. I come back here after a good number of months and I'm branded a "troll" whatever that means.

You're welcome, Mr. Barrow!

You're welcome, Mr. Barrow!

I'm not really a bad person. I just might not be the most ideal TT posting member here. If I ever work again in my life, it will have to be a remote work-at-home job. Possibly connected with the trucking industry. Right now, I have to train and bring up my little fur baby. He is now a service dog in training. You can see his pic I posted on my other thread. I feel so sorry for drivers who have to spend so much time away from their own fur babies. Someday, all long-distance trucking, and railroading, will be autonomous. Human drivers, and train operators, will just work locally. They'll be close to home and have a normal 9-5 lifestyle with a great social skill set. Prolonged sitting inside a truck or train cab cannot be conducive to excellent human physical, mental and emotional health. Thank you all for risking your health so my puppy and I have food available at Walmart even when there is nasty winter weather.

Anyway, how do you like my new buddy, "Gustav"? Cute little devil, isn't he?

I hope I'm not taken here as an evil bad man for concern for public highway safety. Some small-vehicle drivers have disdain for large commercial trucks. Stereotypically, truckers in America are dimly viewed by the public as anti-social, violent, criminal, dope-addicted and cowboy reckless. They have had a bad public perception like Hells Angels motorcycle riders.

I would just as soon report an automobile driving recklessly as any big rig's doing the same. Any conscientious, law-abiding truck driver would just as soon jump on his CB radio or other communications device to report some idiot driving any vehicle dangerously regardless of size class. If you drive a trailer truck "with a halo over your head" you would want your negative public image to be cleaned up.

'Reckless' sounds self-contradictory. It sounds like "driving a vehicle without the event of any wrecks". Ironically, it means dangerous, haphazard and actually prone to, or courting, wrecks. Also, don't be fooled by thinking "inflammable" means "fire safe" or "not prone to burning".

Back like a bad rash from that lot lizard.

I'm afraid I don't know what you mean.

Some folks aren't allowed to do those things. Sorry Todd, you are on that list. You've earned your position, so don't even try to complain about it.

Who is Todd, for goodness sake?
