Pluggers by Rick McKee for September 08, 2019

those were the days

And only a few dents in the rear bumpers.

Like the Pluggers new fashionable wine, Malbek, aka by pluggers as ‘Mile back’.

I think you mean Malbec whine

Plugger trucks always carry a spare tire and spare Plugger.

Works for me ! One more foot and you got it :-)

want some fun, watch a Plugger couple backing up an RV.

My wife tries to help me back up utility trailer. I told her that she doesn’t have to talk. Use hand gestures. Still she doesn’t get it?

My high school aptitude tests all said I’d have made a great mombacker. “Mom back. Mom back.” See? I’ve still got it!

’63 or ’64 Chevrolet C100 Pickup Fleetside? If I could tell if it has backup lights I would guess ’70 or 71.

This would explain what Pluggers tailgates and rear bumpers are bent at a 30-degree angle and the license plate is dangling by a knot of fishing line. Unfortunately the Pluggers in my area drive as poorly forward as they do backward and just as slowly.

I’ve been backing up for Many Years, driving for over 48 years. In construction sites,building material back lots,in the woods,etc. with and without trailers (Goose Neck and Regular) and RV’s. I Have never run into anything.

Dad literally-forced me to learn to use the mirrors.(He literally covered the view out the back-cab glass with cardboard.) And always make sure you can see some-BODY, in those side mirrors too, as opposed to just-hearing and/or assuming where he/she is. And he’s still my-copilot, even though only-in-spirit now, since he’s long-passed. Mirror-backing is a “must-learn”, especially once you cross-over into the 25,000-GVW-&-up class. It just puts what few-nerves I have left nowadays, to witness what they legally-allow the newest tractor-trailer “drivers”..some, but not all, I should add!… to NOT-be required to know about actual-driving skills, of much anything bigger or sharper-edged than a moped…
