BIG RIGS with SPEED

St Petersburg Grand Prix was held today. A pro Indy race- created through the street of my home town.

ESPN wasnt the only one with good seats, my brothers employer sponsors this event, and we got a chance to drive the drivers to their cars. Very kool experience- even during the rain!

Plenty pictures coming on this event.

Destination on the Right!

Planet Hollywood in Orlando, Florida- USA. just an interesting building, it intrigies me. Last time I was here, was over 15 years ago. On arrival, I got the same feeling as I did back then. Traffic was somewhat dissapointing, the 4 lane drive on the 4 was packed east to west. A Rollercoaster ride, from a stand still to 75. Taking pictures were a challenge as well.

Retro

Not exactly 'retro' as SistaC's pics, but a very kool pic in Orlando that I had to take, heading home from my journey. For some reason, at this time- I didnt want to go home! Just a Beautiful ride today in Florida!

One for the books! It looked pretty 'retro' until you click to enlarge..only to find the Delta 737-800 flying west :)

I just love neon lights.

KopyKat

I was in the mood to take some awesome pictures at a nearby truck stop, like my sistaC does in LA, but ran out of time today. DT's got some pictures skills to show, coming soon to a theater near you

No Respect.

This writing doesnt have a picture. I hear so much, truckers dont get respect. Now I can see why. I watched this video on youtube, and this trucker was video taping his arrival into a Dallas Truck Stop. Every word out of this guys mouth was negative. He had a 3 word vocabulary. I guess not every trucker is like my OLD MAN.... POP, hats off to you! Its nice to have a conversation with you, without everyother word being something I cant type.

I guess I am spoiled, having a father that acts and shows what a true trucker is all about. Now I understanding why people dont give truckers respect after watching some of these youtube truckers video's. I think the bottomline is , they would get the RESPECT if they could SHOW it and ACT it. Words dont lie, the respect is not there, because the majority refuses to act sane!
Just watch some of these videos. Its almost embarassing to the Industry!

I agree, Truckers are the backbone to this country, but its the attitudes that puts the black label on the "trucker". Clean up the language, adjust the attitudes, think positive- 3 steps to getting respect. I know its a hard job, my father runs 140,000 miles a year, always positive.

Maybe Im just blessed to have a great father. Thanks POP, keep truckin man!!
