MORE WAYS TO TELL IF A TRUCK IS COMPANY OWNED
o Ash trays in Company trucks are always full.
o AM Radios in Company trucks either don't work or are stuck on country music stations.
o FM Stereo radios or cassette decks are not listed as options for Company trucks.
o Company radios in Company trucks are one-way. Either the base can hear you but you can't hear the base, or you can hear the base and they can't hear you.
o Company trucks rarely need to be washed and never need to be waxed.
o A roll of toilet paper behind the seat is standard equipment.
o If owned by a construction company, a pair of red flags behind the seat are also standard equipment.
o Beds of Company trucks are always full of things that need to be thrown away...none of which belong to the company.
o Company trucks normally come without air conditioning. If equipped with air conditioning, the air conditioner won't work.
o Tires on a Company truck are not changed until they blow out.
o Superintendent's Company trucks can be differentiated from laborer's Company trucks by the additional custom accessories that are absolutely REQUIRED and are paid for with company funds. These include bed liners, chrome fog lights, fuzzy dice on the mirror and the sign in the back window that says "My DOG loves me."
MURPHYS LAWS OF COMPANY TRUCKS:
1. The other guy always gets the new truck. You've got to drive your old clunker for another 100,000 miles.
2. When you're up for the new truck, you'll be laid off before you get it.
3. If your truck dies in mid-season, you'll be given a used truck which will knock you out of the running for a new one next year.
4. If you _DO_ get a new truck, it will be a stripped down S-10 with a 4 cylinder engine.
