Fun stuff Trucking isn’t all work and no play! Share a clean joke or pass on a funny story from the road. And we’re all well-acquainted with Murphy’s Law: “If anything can go wrong, it will.” Tell us your trucking-related Murphy story, and we’ll publish it in our “Murphy’s World” feature in Over the Road or Pro Trucker magazine. C’mon…we could all use a laugh! |
