26. The Runaway Tire

While hauling a load through a mountainous region, a trucker felt his rig wobble and heard a loud thud. He pulled over to find that one of his trailer tires had come loose and rolled down the hill. Chasing after it, he finally found it resting against a tree, as if waiting for him. Out of breath, he muttered, “Next time, I’ll let you drive.”

27. The CB Radio Prank

A group of truckers bored during a long haul, decided to prank a rookie driver. They convinced him over the CB radio that a “bear in the air” (police helicopter) was tracking his speed. Panicked, the rookie kept slowing down, much to the confusion of other drivers. Eventually, they let him in on the joke, and he laughed, saying, “You got me good! But now I know why they call it a ‘bear’—it was unbearable!”

28. The Cowboy’s Clever Comeback

A truck driver cruised down a two-lane country road when he spotted a cowboy riding a horse, checking the fence line. Curious, the trucker pulled over, got out, and walked back to talk to the man.

Trucker: “Hey! You’re a cowboy, aren’t you?”
Cowboy: “Yep.”
Trucker: “Well, I noticed you’re wearing tennis shoes and a baseball cap instead of cowboy boots and a cowboy hat. I just wanted to know why.”
Cowboy: “Well, that’s easy! I don’t want anyone to mistake me for being a truck driver.”
