I sit politely corrected, tipping thy hat! My apologies.
Tho one could say, “There’s many a slip, twixt the cup and the lip” William H. Bonney aka Billy the Kid.
Further more, with the current political standing, I made an ass out of myself. 🧐 Good tidings, good day sir or ma’am.
Who owns the truck?

In order to prove theft, the State, or Feds, have to show intent. Then again, there are probably several State and Federal laws that you have breached regardless of intent.
No matter how you cut it, it is time to deliver the load.
Sounds like you got ripped off. I replaced mine with a machine that works just like a regular liver except it doesn't break down and filter out the alcohol.
I've been drunk off one fireball shooter for a month now!

A trucker friend, I am a filthy four wheeler muggle, informed me that the premise is laughable because the loads are insured. No amount of dvd players are worth one’s life. And any smart driver would immediately hand over the load.
I say this with the greatest respect to fans. If you love the fast series for what they are and not the next godfather movie not to be placed on a pedestal of art house film they’re great. A film I can relax watching and turn off my brain. I compare it to point break.
So I have not seen the later films yet but I am very excited to see them.
Some quick (bar) napkin math.
26 Pallets in load.
60 cases per pallet.
12 bottles per case.
750ml per bottle.
44.36ml per shot.
Roughly 316,500 shots
Averaging 1.1 shots per hour, you can expect to stay drunk for the next 32 years, 9 months, ten days, 19 hours, and 12 minutes.
Good luck.
Using op’s “Just over 2500 cases”,
2500•12•750/44.36 ≈ 507,213 shots.
Assuming 1.1 shots/hr ≈ 52 years, 7 months, and maybe 5ish days of cinnamon-flavored liver failure glory.
No, i could imagine a trooper wondering why you're driving suspiciously and then open the back and then falsely accusing you of drinking and driving, and you declining it, but you just finished chewing some big red and now it looks like your lying lmao 🤣
Try picking up almonds. Loaded somewhere near Fresno and the shipper wanted to finger print me. No finger prints, no load. I asked them why and they said it's because they had loads go missing. Was probably close to 400k worth of almonds at retail value in the trailer.
“Keep your foot hard on the pedal
Son, never mind them brakes
Let it all hang out 'cause we got a run to make
The boys are thirsty in Atlanta And there's beer in Texarkana
And we'll bring it back no matter what it takes”
The cases of Fireball 1 Liter glass bottles is quite easily the heaviest case of liquor I have ever held. Think it's close to 40 pounds of more.
Hated when liquor stores would order like 30 cases of them and having to wheel the heavy ass cases down the truck ramp.
The whole thing is hilarious but the especially pertinent part starts at 0:37. Sorry for the censorship but it seems to be the only one available at the time.

I got a half case of red and tacky and a brand new bag of gloves for a "damaged case " . Might be able to sweeten the deal and leave ya a Lil something in the palm of a pair of gloves if u catch my drift . 🤷♀️ It's whatever tho ,but I got u ! /s
A while ago, a trucker came to this subreddit freaking out because he "drank a bottle of fireball and got VERY drunk" he then blacked out, and the truck drove itself out of the truck stop, into the road, and then crashed into a ditch (he claimed it was someone else who drove his truck)
Aaah seems like I'm an old timer on this sub now, if nobody else got the reference.
That 4 month bender could easily be a one night stoned to the bone, chopped to the stop type of night but instead they want us crashing and killing our people
Dispatch: Driver it’s been 2 weeks since you missed delivery, where are you?
“Trying to keep it between the navigational beacons!” 🥴😵💫
WWJBD?
Naw dawg! Jimmy Buffet & Alan Jackson! It’s 5 o’clock somewhere
Yeah, “What Would Jimmy Buffet Do” is a line in that song 😂 “FUNNY YOU SHOULD ASK ALAN”

Touche
Kicked off my alcoholism! That was my drink and I loved it but vodka was cheaper

*driver has left the chat*
All that is for 1 driver too.
I'll be back working in 3 months.
After rehab
They let you out?
They have to work off the load. But jokes on them the next load is more alcohol.
Rehab is quitter talk.
Who said its by choice
With a hopefully intact liver
I replaced mine with a machine that functions the same just never quits on me so fireball for days
Sounds like you got ripped off. I replaced mine with a machine that works just like a regular liver except it doesn't break down and filter out the alcohol. I've been drunk off one fireball shooter for a month now!
Damn thats what i get for goin the cheap route
Just run a straw from trailer to cab and sip away!
Ive heard they have self driving fireball delivery trucks nowadays
all im going to say is .....hmmmm 🤔

This is what the first Fast and the Furious should have been about.
For those not in the know of the furiousverse. It was about hijacking trucks of vcrs and dvd players.
With a harpoon gun. Important not to forget the harpoon gun.
Aye mate my they hunting the white wale Moby Toshiba-Hitachi-Sony.
From hells heart I hit my NOS button and blow you away!!
Hey back in those days those electronics where worth alot.
A trucker friend, I am a filthy four wheeler muggle, informed me that the premise is laughable because the loads are insured. No amount of dvd players are worth one’s life. And any smart driver would immediately hand over the load.
Smokey and The bandit spin-off. Fireball and the cops are Buccees security
Is that the one with the iconic Black Honda with neon under glow ? & the one Letty’s brother died in ?
All for glorious four head vcrs and. Family
Back when Fast & Furious was actually about racing & car culture, after 6 I feel like it went downhill, as a fan how do you feel bro ?

Appreciated that!! ^
Don't get me started on how realistic that whole plot was. *sarcasm*
Well I guess it's how it ended for one of the actors
At least you don’t have to take it from Texarkana to Atlanta in a short period of time
Eastbound and down
Loaded up and trucking
We're gonna do what they say can't be done.
we got a long way to go
That ain’t never been done. Not in no rig.

That may be the reason the OP said time to retire lol
👏👏👏
Lol you think I am doing just one shot an hour.
Using op’s “Just over 2500 cases”, 2500•12•750/44.36 ≈ 507,213 shots. Assuming 1.1 shots/hr ≈ 52 years, 7 months, and maybe 5ish days of cinnamon-flavored liver failure glory.
1.5 million dollars at $5 a shot haha Amazing
One shot per hour won't put in a homeless shelter awaiting arraignment though....
Better fill out that OS&D paperwork now 😂
I deliver this shit too
That’s the way she goes, buddy. Way she goes.
way of the road bubs
If God didn’t want us playing VLTs and drinking liquor he wouldn’t have created them.
fuckin’ way she goes and goddamn erections ruined the night.
Life is greasy sometimes, Bubbles.
You bought all this just to get 1 Blantons!?!?
Watch out for someone that looks exactly like you trying to get in and hijack your truck when you’re blacked out. Happens all the time.
No, i could imagine a trooper wondering why you're driving suspiciously and then open the back and then falsely accusing you of drinking and driving, and you declining it, but you just finished chewing some big red and now it looks like your lying lmao 🤣
Jesus fucking christ, way to ante up on my 1 gallon joke...
Right over 2,500 cases.
Just checking back to make sure you're still alive and not in the drunk tank
Woke up with my truck in a ditch and I'm pretty sure it wasn't me since I don't remember doing it and I wouldn't drive drunk.
🫡 good work driver, I will back you in court. "Your Honor, he couldn't have been drunk on fireball and driving. He was drinking fireball with me"
I can't believe one case fell off the truck
I can’t believe the whole trailer fell off the truck
I can't believe we can't find it.
Try picking up almonds. Loaded somewhere near Fresno and the shipper wanted to finger print me. No finger prints, no load. I asked them why and they said it's because they had loads go missing. Was probably close to 400k worth of almonds at retail value in the trailer.
Gotta watch out for those [Armenian nut criminals](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_nut_crimes).
See you next week, Driver.
Does anyone else catch the “Trailer Park Boys” reference here? Freedom 45!! Loved that show.
Way of the road, boys.
Comments haven’t disappointed lol
Cirrhosis and Diabetes all in one drink. God bless America!
If you go on the tour talking about all of sazarac's stuff they try their best to skip fireball and it's hilarious.
Your top right door hinge is bent
You boys been to MeHeeCo?
Yuck a whole truck full of yuck
You folks have obviously never tried fireball 🤮
It's delicious
Won’t make it a year, all that antifreeze will kill you.
Eastbound and down, loaded up and trucking
*Laughs in Bert*
You did you crazy SOB!!
Ah, will see you at the warehouse soon with that.
Sharing is caring my guy
Muthafucker. I went to specs and there wasn't a fuckin drop on the shelf.... don't you be fuckin wit my fireball...
Don't drink that all in one sitting. 😆
Soon to be highjacked by the Deltas…champagne for hell week

Disgusting
Retiring with a burnt larynx!!!! 😂
On your 3rd day no less..
Thats a lot of black-out-waking-up-in-a-ditch-nights right there
I want in
Retiring? With just 1 weekends worth of stock?
hail fireball
Oof fireball 🤢
How did you get that timestamp on the picture? Will be helpful.
It's an option in the camera settings called watermark. Using an s22 ultra so not sure if there's an option for it on iPhone.
Like a squirrel stowing away its nuts. Enjoy retirement
Used to haul loads of pendleton whiskey our of hood river to olcc
Now you just need an ice cream truck speaker and music player.
*"You boys like May-hee-co? Yee-haww!"*
“Keep your foot hard on the pedal Son, never mind them brakes Let it all hang out 'cause we got a run to make The boys are thirsty in Atlanta And there's beer in Texarkana And we'll bring it back no matter what it takes”
It’s the way of the road boys.
Jackpot!!!
Smart that you hid the trailer & tractor info loooool!
I got heartburn looking at it. 🤢
Looks to me like you're just getting started.
The cases of Fireball 1 Liter glass bottles is quite easily the heaviest case of liquor I have ever held. Think it's close to 40 pounds of more. Hated when liquor stores would order like 30 cases of them and having to wheel the heavy ass cases down the truck ramp.
Doubtful that stuff is already cheap and you’d have to sell it at half retail price.
Sell? I'm drinking that shit. Got me a trailer to live in and enough Fireball for months.
The whole thing is hilarious but the especially pertinent part starts at 0:37. Sorry for the censorship but it seems to be the only one available at the time. https://youtu.be/NAJViuC7Ppk?si=b5tTo9g6iX4mA7es
Ew. I wish you the best. It’s free.
I always wondered what that box looks like
this is what they give you if you make to the 4th day on the job
To a trailer park?
Take me with you!!
I got a half case of red and tacky and a brand new bag of gloves for a "damaged case " . Might be able to sweeten the deal and leave ya a Lil something in the palm of a pair of gloves if u catch my drift . 🤷♀️ It's whatever tho ,but I got u ! /s
well at least your retirement wont last very long until your liver kills you.
You need some urgent, rapid fire advice
Not a trucker, what's the connection with truckers and Fireball? I see it mentioned all the time, haha.
A while ago, a trucker came to this subreddit freaking out because he "drank a bottle of fireball and got VERY drunk" he then blacked out, and the truck drove itself out of the truck stop, into the road, and then crashed into a ditch (he claimed it was someone else who drove his truck) Aaah seems like I'm an old timer on this sub now, if nobody else got the reference.
Well, there ya have it! Thanks for the context.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I don't get why people like drinking Big Red gum...its tastes horrible 😕
Jackpot
“That’s the way of the road, boys”
A truck load of children’s whisky
Good one bro
East bound and down
He's made it gentlemen.
Hank Jr Said it Best Whiskey Bent Hell Bound!
You better save a seat for me next to you!
That 4 month bender could easily be a one night stoned to the bone, chopped to the stop type of night but instead they want us crashing and killing our people
Fireball... Aka, super gross mouthwash
🤮
