You might be a freight dawg if-
...you've ever walked through the FBO in your socks and shorts after having spent the night there.
...they tell you at the FBO that you aren't allowed into the free popcorn machine anymore.
...ATC informs you of a smoother altitude and your response is, "What am I supposed to do about it?"
...you've ever heard the roosters crow from the back of your aircraft when the sun starts to come up. (Harvey?...are you out there?...DC3s rule!)
...you've actually slept in your aircraft and were prepared for it with a sleeping bag and your roll of quarters for the vending machine outside the FBO after it closes at night.
...you've actually landed the aircraft while the other pilot was getting his "required rest"....and tried to make it as soft as possible so not to disturb him.
...you always have to ask ATC how to spell those dang fixes they want you to fly to.
...you've actually flown a published NDB route.
...you've never flown into this airport, can't see it, can't see the airplane in front of you, have no idea where you are, and still call it in sight so you can get cleared for the visual.
Not that I've ever done or ever will do any of those things. I've just heard about them.

If you laugh at the people complaining about traffic jams in your city. You never see them driving to work at 10:30PM or from work at 5:30AM..
If you sincerely miss Las Vegas, not for the gambling, but for being able to get a decent meal for $4.00 at any hour.
If you bid lines based on FBO food availability.
If you tell tales of having a Thinsulate pad and a couple of blankets, and spending the night in the cargo compartment as it rains less there.
If you post to message boards such as these after a hard day's work, and it's before most people get up.
If on your passenger airline interview, the interviewer questions the amount of night and IMC time you have.
If on your UPS/FEDEX/ABEX airline interview, the interviewer asks if the free food at an airport is still available.
If you request higher to get the cargo to sleep and therefore, shut up.
If you request higher to get the copilot to sleep and therefore, shut up as you can't understand a word s/he says. Double points if the company is selling the seat as SIC time. . .
And that second seat is more profittable than the cargo. . .

Bad Dawg....
You might be freight trash if.....
You keep the visor down in your car... at night.
You know that kind of car the paperboy drives.
Your car is older than your H.S diploma
You wear "farm" gloves at work.
No one has ever heard of the company you work for.
and finally; "You might be freight trash if.... you ask for vectors to the rainshowers the 121 guys are trying to miss, beacuse the windshield and plane could use a good wash."

Might be???
...the plane you fly is older than you
...them fancy radar's are for *ussies
...your autopilot is best utilized as a boat anchor
...the chief pilot has been at the company for 3 yrs (and has the most seniority)
...you don't know what a passenger briefing card is
...you don't deviate around boomers
...the preflight is "chalks, tailstands on board...start one!"
...your block time is 4 min. longer than flight time per leg
...to actually "write up" a squawk would require one of the really big pieces to have come off
...homeless men on crack look down on you
...your idea of a crew meal is Mountain Dew and a candy bar (Yeah DEW!!)
...you have seen a sunset and sunrise in the same day (at least for us)
...the level of emergecy is inversely proportional to how "hot" the freight is ("Well, how bad is the fire?!!)
You know, flying freight would actually be okay if you had some quality of life, better pay, well maintained equipment, and some benefits....of course then we would be just like those primadona airline pilots!
