But then again, we all know that there's all kinds of money to be made in truckin'.
That's why we're all rich.
So......., there I was, tooling along in my self driving truck, playing a truck sim game on my iPad when the e logger shut the truck down in a rest area in the middle of the wilderness because I had been awake for twelve hours.
I had to go wee really badly, but there were 2 grizzly bears and a cougar roaming the parking lot, and the outhouse was a couple hundred feet away.
Right about then it began to snow heavily and within an hour the parking lot was full of autonomous trucks filled with drivers that had to use the facilities or suffer severe consequences, which paled in comparison to the alternative consequences.
Just when they all believe they're going to soil themselves or be eaten by wild animals, and might starve to death if the snowstorm lasts for several days, all of a sudden they hear an ancient sound, the sound of a jake brake resonating loudly through straight pipes!
The wild animals run away and they are confronted by an even wilder animal, Krooser!
The old truck was all mechanical and made of aluminum, and behind it he pulled a strange looking reefer trailer, and there were chains on all the tires.
The auto pilots all gathered round the strange vehicle, to thank the driver for saving them, and gazed in amazement at this old truck, none having ever seen tire chains, or a truck with a gearshift, let alone two gear shifts.
Well........, only 5 or 6 of them, the rest were standing in line at the one holer or tinkling around the edge of the parking lot.
Anyway, Krooser opened up the trailer, which was a rolling lunch wagon and convenience store, (Willy was coming behind him in another old truck full of hookers), and Krooser cooked up burgers and dogs and sold them at a very high profit margin, as well as beer, pot, bennies, feminine hygiene products and various other party items that stranded motorists and truckers might need in this new autonomous world, also at a very high profit margin.
When all were fed and replenished, Krooser headed out in the snowstorm to the next rest area to feed and replenish them as well, at a very high profit margin.
Soon after Willy rolled in pulling a cathouse on wheels, (gender neutral, politically correct), and Troy arrived with a rolling dance hall complete with a live rock band.
Just goes to show, you can make a decent living if you own a truck and think outside the box!
