Has anybody seen a real truck driver? Somebody who does their job without the fuss and drama? Who doesn't say they are going to die every third or fourth sentence?
So far, my "real truck driver award" goes to Hugh only because he's been getting the job done. Timo is a close second -- but he's handicapped by having a defective as a wingman.
Man I hate Hugh. He is that guy who sits at the counter at the truckstop cafe hitting on waitresses with lines like: "Yes I'd like to see a menu and you know what I see me 'n' you doing" or "yeah this cop pulled me over and said a bear in the air clocked me going this fast. I said make him come down and give me the ticket. The cop (or mounty) landed right next to the road but I took a picture and got his pilot's license revoked. That was the last time they messed with me, By God!"
However, I was horrified when dufus 1&2 left Hugh stranded out in the middle of nowhere, didn't stop to see what his problem was and mooned him to boot. It was such poetic justice when the spot truck driver started yelling when Hugh drove off: "Your just going to leave us here?" I realize that there are chase vehicles with cameras filming those guys so it isn't as dangerous as they let on but I cannot think of anyone else who deserved to spend a chilly night broke down in the Andes. You know they were freezing their SoCal butts off.
Part of being a professional driver is to help your fellow driver in a remote location. Tim and Tino are truly city drivers who should stick to city driving.
shareTino is a city driver. Tim is a yard dog. The OP hit it right on the head when he made the suggestion that they needed real drivers. You don't leave somebody stranded on an interstate much less a deserted dirt road, in the middle of the road. Glad to see the karma bug caught back up with them.
