I work for a home improvement company (Lowes) and a couple years ago when I worked in Building Materials I was asked to help build a load to go out on delivery. One of the items included an aluminum extension ladder. I was carrying it through the store (because I couldnt find a cart) using the 1firefighter carrying method when I was approached by a manager. This manager proceeded to inform me that I was improperly carrying the ladder (it wasnt the "Lowes approved" method). I told her that I am a firefighter and that was how I was taught to carry a ladder in training. She left me alone on that one lol.

If you see a sign on a door that says "No Entry-Locked Door" and you immediately come up with 5 or 6 ways to get through the door.....You Might Be a Truckie!

FYI I am the one in the photo holding the saw. About 10 seconds after the pic was snapped I grew tired of waiting and got up and walked past him to knock out the skylight

You might be a truckie if...
Opening up has nothing to do with a door.
Your favorite Google search is "tiller cam"
the word search has nothing to do with using a computer.
You check for overhead obstructions before you park your personal truck.
You think The Truck IS your personal truck
Your favorite position is on top...of the ladder, of the roof, of the fire floor, of your... well you get the idea

You might be a truckie if the engine is just a piece for you to ride until your truck gets back from the serice garage.

If you break a window from the inside out instead of just unlocking it and lifting it up, you know you're a truckie. (Saw it on the news last night. Just about fell over laughing.)
