Isn't it sexy?! It's street legal, too! I'm not going to be able to keep the women off of me driving that thing around.

8. Could be worse


To his credit, Lieberman knew how ludicrous the whole "Joemobile" thing was. I heard him talking to the owner of one of them (not the one pictured), saying "I'll bet you pick up lots of women at the beach in that thing, don't you?"

11. Sort of
I work 4pm to 2am. I prefer that shift over what I was doing, but I'd really like to have those kind of hours while driving an 18 wheeler. The yard position is kind of boring, but I guess it's easy money.

13. My dear Droopy!
Oooooh, cute!

And it's clean, and not all beat up like most trucks!

Enjoy your gig, Droopy!

14. I used to drive truck.
Isn't that called a "yard goat"? And doesn't it elevate the trailer without cranking up the landing gear? It's been 17 years since I drove, I forget.

15. Yeah, or more commonly a yard dog
The fifth wheel elevates with a handle in the cab. There is also an automatic fifth wheel release in the cab. All you do is hook to the trailer, raise the fifth wheel and hook up the trailer air supply line. After you've spotted the trailer, lower it down, disconnect the air line, and hit the automatic fifth wheel release.
