It was gonna be one of those days,I could tell.I had pulled into the chicken plant in Neosho,Mo.last night to pick up a load of
chicken headed for Ontario,Ca.Slipped the Qualcomm out of its bracket and punched in,TIME OF ARRIVAL: 21:42(my
appointment was for 22:00 hrs),but I had kinda cut it close by letting Mae talk me into having ONE more cup of coffee at the
Petro on I44 in Joplin.Mae and I had been friends for many years,hell it's been so long I can't remember when I first met
her.Mae was kinda like a sister to all her trucker friends,sixty years old and still took in more tips than the younger prettier gals.
Tossing the Qualcomm on the shotgun seat,I opened my door and rolled out.I mentally noted there were no ther rigs parked on
the lot waiting to be loaded,and right away,...I smelled trouble.It's just kinda the feeling ya get when you know a place ain't
'JUST RIGHT'. Sure enough,...when I checked in with shipping,they informed me the plant had been shut down by USDA
food inspectors,and my load had been cancelled.
I was tired anyway,so I messaged dispatch that my load was cancelled,tossed the Qualcomm back on the seat,and nose dived
to the bunk.Six hours later,I woke up feeling as tired as I had been when hit the sack,but I knew I wouldn't be able to sleep any
longer,so I sat up,rubbing the sleep out of my eyes,and got dressed.The company truck I drove was not a flashy rig,but it was
the best the company had to offer. A'90 Freightliner with a stand up walk-in sleeper,it had ample room to stretch out,lots of
compartment space,and a 3/4 size bunk.It was the best rig I had ever driven.When they assigned me the truck,...first thing I did
was buy a custom made mattress for it,and that mattress was my pride and joy.I then bought an oversized ac/dc portable
brokSonic set at a truckstop and lashed it in place where I could watch TV and drift off to sleep.
Parting the sleeper curtain,I stepped forward to enter the cab noting the red light *BLINKING* on the Qualcomm, indicating
dispatch had sent me a message. I seetled in behind the steering wheel and reached for the Qualcomm.Yep,...they had found
me another load to Ontario,and it wasn't that far away. Rogers,Ar.,...just acroos the Mo/Ar line. I turned on my lights and set
the 4 ways to flashin',and hopped out to do a quick pre-trip inspect, kicked my tires and eased my bladder.
Crawling back up in my seat,I released the brakes,put it in gear and eased the rig in a tight circle to exit the parking
lot."BRRR",it was a cold assed February morning,and I headed for a quick cup of coffee.Just south of town,I knew there was a
fresh pot being made at a small restaurant open 24 hours with big rig parking.I pulled in, set my tractor brakes,idled up the
engine and walked inside. Beverly had just come on shift,and sure enough,there she was brewing up a couple of pots of 'Rust
your Guts'. Upon seeing me,she let out a happy squeal and rushed to my out spread arms. I had ~nailed~Bev a couple of
times,and we were good together,had a lot of fun with her. She never asked for money,but I always left her a $20.00 tip(which
she cuffed)every time I came through,and I had been through Neosho a hundred times.
We chatted while she kept my coffee cup full,and busied herself checking to make sure the gal she relieved had stuffed the
napkin holders,filled the salt and pepper shakers, etc.I finished my third cup of coffee,said bye to Bev,and when she stepped up
to give me a quick peck on my cheek,I slipped a twenty in her hand,winked and headed for the door.As I walked out,I heard
her say,"Hey Art,come on back when you can stay a little longer,ok?" I chuckled and threw her a wave as the door closed
behind me.
Pulling out and heading south on US 71,I noticed daybreak was quickly coming,soon this main artery for north and south bound
vehicles in this neck of the woods would be humming with four wheelers headed to work,taking the kids to school and big rigs
moving in tight little groups. As I neared the little town of Goodman,Mo. I felt the three cups of java telling me I wouldn't make
it to Rogers before they wanted out. Seeing a little pull out on the west side shoulder of the road up ahead,I started down
shifting and slowing my speed. I noted the darkened run down shanty close to the hwy. but on the other side as I pulled to a
stop and set my brakes.
I hopped out,set my Thermoking to -0 degrees, flipped the auto start switch on,and walked to the other side of my rig to take a
leak. I had learned many years ago to not take a piss facing my rig leaving my back exposed to an ambush,and being a creature
of habit,stepped in between the tractor trailer,faced away from my rig,and unravelled "Bambi". Bev had given my penis that nick
name the first time we had sex.When we were all finished,and she was twisting her torso back into her snug fitting jeans,she had
reached back one last time to grasp my 10" tool with both fists,and lightly kissing the cum from the bulbous pink head
said,"Now Art,...you take good care of ~Bambi~for me,and come back to see me real soon,...ok?" I asked her WHY
'BAMBI',hell,...it sounded ridiculous to me! She answered with a wicked grin,"Oh Art,because the name fits,it's such a
"DEAR" ! I roared with laughter,and the name stuck in my mind ever since.
Unzipping my pants,I heard the thermoking starter engage and sluggishly begin to crank the old engine into life.As I started my
stream,I heard the CHUG -pop-CHUG*POP*pop*pop*pop*pop*pop* of the old motor shudder and shake into a coughing,
sputtering semblance of of running. Finishing up,and tucking 'Bambi' back where he lay half cocked at all times,I was also
relieved to hear the thermoking settle into a smooth hi-speed idle and start getting the trailer temperature down toward -0.
Climbing back in through the open door,I hesitated briefly,...sniffing.I couldn't quite identify the smell,it was just kinda,...well
hell, I don't know how to describe it,...kinda fresh,...or clean smell. I thought to myself,"Well just the smell of the Missouri
Ozarks I guess."I closed my door,...released my brakes put Freddy in gear,...and headed for Rogers.
