This shot was taken in 2001, right before the world fell apart.
It was orginally shot by Laurel Mercury of Just Say Cheez. She was commissioned to shoot this for a book jacket cover, for a NY book deal, that weeks later would also fall apart. My agent at that time went missing for weeks and no one knew if he was in the towers or what happened.
The ride is a beautiful KW W 900 and is one of many trucks I've piloted over the years. I'm still partial to KW's. Yet I'll also admit that last year when I got behind the wheel of a buddy's Peterbilt, a bad case of road fever started coming back. Not so good.
Anyway, this picture continues to get hijacked, landing in all sorts of nefarious places. Often the pic is similtaneously used by different users, in different parts of the country, often at the same time on the same site.
Yes, you read that right---I am a supercruiser who I've learned can be cruising some really hot rest area in Michigan while also hoofing it in Ontario CA while also doing the good-buddy, Timbo Limbo in Little Havana.
My image(s) seems to land on truck chaser sites. Fortunately, my folks probably won't land there. Unfortunately though, probably at least half of the rest of my readers will.
So my friends, all ten million of you who are fans of all things gaytruckstop.com and truckerjeff.com and gaytruckersclassifieds.com, thank you for narcing the dude(s) out.
I'm not sure why anyone would try to use another man's money shot, but I long ago learned that the Internet is alot like fast food. It never looks like the picture.
Anyway, I'm just saying...
Yes, the pic is me.
No, the site you may have seen it on wasn't a place I've posted.
I should be flattered that some losers think that my "no money, honey" shot will get them a money shot.
I'm still working on that being flattered part.
