Trucker Tattoo

I been thinking about doing this for awhile, it seems now days so many people are in trucking because they feel it's the only job left they can get, and they are miserable and they bitch and moan about there job all day long. Was a time in America where just about everyone was a trucker because they wanted to be, and they loved it!

I certainly have had my moments, it can be a love/hate relationship sometimes. Usually caused by stress or missing the wife back at home. But usually don't last long. I always try to live every day on the road for the fun, and not get to caught up in all the gloom and doom on the CB radio, XM radio truckers, whatever medium a trucker can use to communicate there will inevitably be a certain amount of bitching and complaining, it's just the nature of us.

So anyway I noticed a few months back they opened up the American Trucker Tattoo shop at the AMBest truck stop on I70 in Brazil IN, exit 23, so I made up my mind this is what I want to do to show my love and dedication to this way of life. From now on everyone will be able to tell I am PROUD to be a trucker!

New Additions To The 2 Way Communicator


















This is my CB radio, a Cobra 29 LTD Black Chrome (not the chrome edition)
with an American flag Astatic mic, peaked and tuned with echo board. For the past 2 years I've been using that cheap plastic external speaker you see here, this week I made some new additions to the radio setup by adding a Road Pro chrome external speaker and 2 K40 coil antennas. Both are much more heavy duty than what I was using previously and this had improved my radio performance considerably! It is absolutely amazing. I'm walkin' that dog, and kickin' that possum, now my radio is totally awesome!! whoop whoop!!
