Poems From The Road

Like many of you, I try to create ways to help with road boredom. I make up poems or little ditties in my head. Sometimes I write these down and email them to my driver manager who seems to have a low level of amusement.

My latest is this :

“Gluten for punishment?

Become a truck driver

Low pay for longer hours

But great for the adventure seeker

Stick with it when starting

Soon you will be making great money

Other poems from the road?

I wrote this some years ago in reply to a question in another thread. "Poem" might be a stretch.

You might be a Super Trucker if you're a:

Rootin tootin, smoke shootin, gear grinding, rev winding, eatin from a microwave oven, bottle peeing, Lizard lovin.

Left lane huggin, coffee chuggin, get in my way and I'll be buggin. Faster better never tame, got a belt buckle that says my name.

Blind siding, log hiding, on your ass you'll find me riding. Got my foot up on the dash, I wonder where I got this rash?

Yeah I'm cool you know it sucka, can't touch me I'm a Super Trucka!

Turtle- “sucka.. Super trucker”. Rating- 9 (out of 10). Good one!

Left lane huggin, coffee chuggin, get in my way and I'll be buggin. And Blind siding, log hiding, on your ass you'll find me riding.

Those two verses gave me a good laugh and are hundred percent accurate.

Break down poem adapted from graffiti on a bathroom stall divider

Here I sit, broken hearted

Came to drive but can’t get started

Lord, I ask you to be with me ...as I travel down this road;

Here and there, and everywhere, hauling these 80K loads.

Please guide me through the traffic, and the storms along the way;

Please keep me alert when the nights are long, and grant patience, for the next day.

...and when i reach my destination, Always thankful I will be !!!

That you have been the unseen guest, riding right next to me.

DOT rap lyrics:

Yo DOT, let's kick it! Alright stop, Put down the phone & listen Ice is back & will make the roads glisten DOT ain’t taking this lightly, We’re out in force daily & nightly If there was a problem, Yo, we’ll salt it Sit back on your couch While our forces resolve it Ice Ice baby❄️
