... you get a box in the back of your plane going to the CDC in Atlanta that's labeled "fungus of unknown origin."

... a UPS commercial comes on the tv in the pilot's lounge, and when it says "what can brown do for you" everyone in the room shouts in unison "BROWN CAN GIVE ME A JOB!"

... you've ever considered getting a digital recording of the cabin altitude warning horn in a Learjet, then playing it in the pilot's lounge at 4 in the morning.

... you've ever blown an entire paycheck on a digital recorder so you can try that.

... you've ever flown a Baron that was so old, Walter Beech got checked out in it.

... you look inside the cabin of a luxury corp jet and wonder how much it would carry if it was canned out.

... you've begged the chief pilot to let you carry a concealed weapon because you really do need it at your third stop.

You might be a freight dog if

You hold for 25 minutes to avoid having to divert, turn around from diversion when the visibility meets minimums, shoot the approach multiple times till you see the runway, all to avoid diverting.

You don't check the weather at your base (you're going anyways) but always feel the need to check the weather at any FBO that has cookies, popcorn or Jolly Ranchers.

You have a picture of yourself next to a Dodge Valiant.
(0r whatever famous ugly crew car exists with your company)

Your company leaves you out all day to return in the biggest winter storm in 3 years, thinking you can all make it home.
 
You might be a fr8dog if...

A northern Kentucky man was sentenced Tuesday to life in prison without parole for killing three people last year including his wife and daughter.

Michael Richardson Sr. had previously pleaded guilty to killing his wife, Joyce Richardson; his 18-year-old daughter, Sunshine, and his daughter's boyfriend, 16-year-old Phillip Leslie.

Richardson, 46, will likely spend the rest of his life in prison, under the sentence handed down by Campbell County Circuit Judge Julie Reinhardt Ward.
 
What the deuce does THAT have to do with freight dawgging??
:confused:

You spend so much time alone in a hotel, you loose site of whats apropriate to post on the "You might be a freight dog if............." thread.

You land at an airport 5 days before Xmas to have 30+ brown trucks waiting for you.

Your company is currently pestering the FAA to waive the 24 hours off in a 7 day period, so people can fly X-mas eve.

If your co-workers doubt they will get time and a half for working Xmas eve.

Your co-workers are comparing flue-like symptoms for just such an occasion.
 
I think I just became a *real* freightdawg, I just had Taco Palenque in LRD for the first time...and I had it at breakfast time but it was dinner for us.
 
Hey, Taco Palenque is one of the better places you can eat down in that lovely town.

You know all the good AM radio stations in a 5 state area, and can navigate by them in a pinch.

....and you have to routinely debate whether you should tune in the kooks on AM Coast to Coast, or soldier through another broadcast of the Midnight Trucking Network.

....you've used your aircraft to move crewmembers from one outstation to another, and had your F.O. sleep the entire flight on the sofa located in bay 1.

....you've ever spilled a Big Red on your shirt only to have MX assume it's hydraulic fluid from your aircraft, and not even wonder why you didn't write something up.
 
The Sofa?

....you've used your aircraft to move crewmembers from one outstation to another, and had your F.O. sleep the entire flight on the sofa located in bay 1.

In the Falcon 20, engine plugs worked as a bed.
In the DC-9, if you don't bring a cot or sleeping bag, you can stretch out behind the f/o, feet behind the cap's chair,head propped up on the o2 tank.

HAHAHAHA

Thats awsome. I used to know all the freqs. to listen to good ole George for a 300 mile radius from Dallas. I found all the freqs. by just clicking the adf 10 at a time untill I found the same program with a better signal then Xchecked where the adf was pointing.

Now it seems like your a freight dawg if you even know what an adf is..... That was a great laugh for me.
 
If your car and plane both require jumper cables on a regular basis.
