... you know what a jbar is and why not to straddle one.

... you understand that the weight listed on the bill of lading is a "theoretical weight"

... you can tell how much a pallet ways by the # of inches the rear tires of a forklift are off the ground

... the paintscheme on your airplane looks alot like that of a defunct carrier

free food!

...you have to show the new line guys how to operate the popcorn machine

Or if you get a call from a AmEx financial advisor, and upon hearing you are a freight dog, he instantly knows you wont be using his services before you can even turn him down

 

[Denizen]

Never EVER straddle the J-bar (he says in high squeaky voice)

If you've used a pair of chocks as a toilet seat with a garbage bag underneath.

Come on dude...a real freight dog doesn't need a seat in order to pinch one off.

You know you are a freight dog when you are hired at a major with out a 4-yr degree in front of pilots with a 4r-yr degree. Why because your prospective employer knows you have done and handled just about everything. You are a master at getting the job done. Story comes to mind of a freight dog pilot now Capt at Jet blue, his Airbus is diverted due to weather at destination, he knows the pax are hungry. He has been to this airport before, so he calls the FBO on the Skyphone and orders 22 pizzas. How did he know to do that, he had been there and done that before? Freight dogging the breakfast of champions. Anyone can fly an airplane; freight dogs are in a class by themselves.

Now that's classy. Let's hear it for the freight dawgs!

You know you're a freight dog when...

1. your company motto is "why deviate when you can penetrate"
2. when you get paid by the mile...like a trucker.
3. when you think the "food" at Dmitri's is good.
4. when picking your nose is fun again

more to come...

Dmitri's is great; I take my wife there after church on Sunday, it is much better than the Lakeview Tavern.

 

[T-Gates]

Dmitri's is great...

Where else can you eat flaming cheese at 4am after a long night of freight dogging?

 

[pilotyip]

Lakeview Happy Hour 0700L

Remember when the Lakeview Tavern had happy hour at 7 AM to catch the mid-night shift. A draft for a buck, great place.

The Stop-40 in Columbus. Open at 6am for when all the Starcheckers get off duty.
