ps: For the book friend Lao Yang passed by a change, there will be a while, and then begged for a monthly pass. . . .
Candy wasn't as stupid as he thought, at least he had good economic acumen.
His meaning is already very clear, and looking at Hall's appearance, you know that he took a shot of Xiao Peng surfing, which will cause a sensation!
Then the mystery towel surfer's surfboard & signature, which is even more valuable. Well, that's why he didn't sign his name, and if people knew it was him, his trip to the Stars and Stripes would not be fun.
Mengzi, didn't you say that you want to come to the Stars and Stripes to ride a big ocean horse all day long? I'll pave the way for you first, don't thank me, please call me Lei Feng!
After Xiao Peng signed a photo for Candy, the rest of the people also came back to their senses and asked to take a photo with Xiao Peng, but Xiao Peng didn't take a scarf when he took the photo, and even put on a hat, which made everyone speechless, how afraid are you of being famous?
After doing all this, Xiao Peng put on his big backpack and turned around to continue his journey.
Lynch, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke, and saw him say with a serious face: "Huaxiaren, can I compete with you?"
Xiao Peng didn't look back, and waved his hand: "Who do you think I am? Can anyone compare with me? If I have to compete with any kind of cat or dog, then I don't want to die of exhaustion?"
"Poof. Candy couldn't help but laugh out loud, didn't Lynch just say this to Xiao Peng? Retribution came so quickly!
But then again, this master 。。。。。。 This Nima is careful!
"What are you talking about?" Lynch's friend heard Xiao Peng say this, and a hot-tempered guy rushed directly at Xiao Peng.
Xiao Peng took off the backpack on his back and threw it at him, and the guy was directly smashed to the ground by the backpack.
"Dodge!" exclaimed the man of the megalomu. That Dodge is at least one hundred and eighty pounds, but a big backpack was smashed to the ground, how much does this backpack have to weigh?
One of them ran to Dodge's side, trying to pick up Dodge's backpack, but as soon as he picked it up, his face changed, and he moved the backpack away from Dodge with both hands, "My God, this backpack weighs at least a hundred kilograms!" he exclaimed.
At this time, everyone's face changed when they looked at Xiao Peng, a hundred kilograms, many people can move, but there are really not many who can carry it around.
Xiao Peng shook his head, picked up his backpack and put it on his back, leaving the dumbfounded crowd to turn around and leave, the trip had just begun, he didn't have so much time to waste, and he had to hurry!
"Reservoir Dogs, tell me the truth, did you really get Deadpool here?"
Simpson shook his head: "If you say that, I suspect that this is the case, no wonder he refuses to accept me as an apprentice." Speaking of Lynch, we can surf here, right?"
"Of course you can, but you're asking your little dreadlocks friend to send me a copy of the video of the guy surfing. Lynch said.
"Want to do it?" Hall smiled, "Two hundred dollars, do you think the price is right?"
"Oh Shet, you profiteer!" Lynch said angrily!
Greger shook his head: "Who told you not to send someone to shoot with you? Come on, I took this precious material from Anna's hand, but I got it by my life." ”
"One hundred dollars!
"One hundred and eighteen, it can't be lower。。。。。。 ”
Xiao Peng naturally didn't know about the bargaining here, he was now hitchhiking on the road with a big backpack. It may also be because his backpack is too big, and many cars don't pull him.
Well, in fact, it has something to do with himself, he even forgot to take off his sand protection face towel, which does look like a robber.
Xiao Peng stopped the car while walking, walked a few kilometers but didn't stop the car, but there was a gas station on the side of the road, Xiao Peng walked in. From the clerk's surprised expression, Xiao Peng remembered that he was still wearing a sand towel. Quickly took it off, bought a bottle of mineral water from the supermarket in the gas station, sat at the door of the gas station, and took a ride while drinking water.
Sitting outside the gas station, Xiao Peng was bored waiting for the passing vehicles, and suddenly a huge whistle startled Xiao Peng, and he looked at it in a flash: "!" Xiao Peng couldn't help but burst into foul mouth.
I saw a heavy truck driving over, which may be the most familiar Star and Stripe heavy truck for ordinary Chinese people: Peter Bildt 389! Even if you are not familiar with this name, you must have seen it, because Optimus Prime in the movie Transformers is this big truck.
Speaking of Transformers, in fact, the Optimus Prime in the animated version is not Peter Bildt 389, but a Freighter heavy truck, but obviously Freightliner Trucks did not pay as much as Peter Bilt when filming the movie Transformers, so Optimus Prime became Peter Bildt, anyway, they are all heavy trucks, almost on the line.
Heavy trucks are very common in the Stars and Stripes Nation.
It is not for nothing that the Stars and Stripes are called the countries on wheels, because the Stars and Stripes have fewer railways, dense roads have become an important vein of the Stars and Stripes, and a large number of goods are transported by heavy trucks, and such giants can often be seen in the Stars and Stripes, whether on the highways or in the cities. This has also formed a unique Stars and Stripes country truck culture.
Many Chinese people go to the country of stars and stripes to work as truck drivers, and the income is very good! In the country of stars and stripes, truck drivers, but a very popular profession for girls, this is also a high income!
When it comes to the truck culture of the Stars and Stripes, we must start with the transportation network of the whole country of the Stars and Stripes.
The railway system of the entire Stars and Stripes is actually very underdeveloped. When many Stars and Spanglers arrived in China, they were most shocked by Huaxia's high-speed rail, which was a miracle in their eyes!
This is also related to the geography of the Stars and Stripes, as there are often many deserts here, especially in the western region. In such a desert, building a highway is better than choosing to build a railway.
Due to the geographical environment of the country, the country's highway system is extremely perfect, and it can't help but have good road conditions, and there are very few toll booths, even if there are toll booths, it is a symbolic toll. So that's why the Stars and Stripes have a long history of trucking, with heavy trucks being used at a rate far greater than any other country in the world. Of course, it is also because of this that the logistics industry of the Stars and Stripes is far from catching up with China. Compared with Huaxia's express delivery, the one in the Stars and Stripes country is called slow delivery, and it is still the slowest kind.
And the aesthetics of truck drivers in North America are different from those in other countries. In other countries, it is common to opt for large trucks with square heads, with a flat front end and a cab directly above the engine.
The United States people do not, they like the traditional heavy-duty truck with the engine in front, such a truck is quite heavy, far more than the flat-top truck, and because of its engine front-mounted, the driver's line of sight is not as good as the flat-top truck, but its safety is much higher than the flat-top truck. As a result, long-nosed heavy-duty trucks dominate the Stars and Stripes Highway, leading the trend of the heavy-duty goods vehicle era. Just like this Peterbilt heavy truck, which is definitely a household name here, with a load of thirty tons. A large part of the reason why the Transformers movie uses it instead of the cartoon Frianner is also because of its big nose. It looks more imposing.
The owner of this Peterbilt is an elderly couple, the wife is running to refuel, while the husband is washing the truck body with a water cannon. The most of the Stars and Stripes countries are self-service gas stations, and you have to rely on yourself to refuel or anything, of course, there are exceptions, such as Oregon, self-service refueling is illegal.
It is rare to see this kind of heavy truck in China, so Xiao Peng also became interested and ran to the truck to take a photo with it. Although the owner of the car is an old couple, the appearance of this car is really cool, the black body is sprayed with a pattern of red flames, seeing Xiao Peng and the truck as a souvenir, the husband stopped what he was doing: "Cool big guy, isn't it?"
Xiao Peng nodded and replied with a smile: "That's right, this is indeed a cool big guy." A charming guy that makes people fall in love with it at first sight. ”
"I have to say, you have a lot of vision, my name is Martin, you can call me old Martin, that's my wife, well, I won't tell you her name. After Martin finished speaking, he showed a sly smile: "She's so charming, it's better for you to call her Mrs. Martin." ”
Xiao Peng laughed when he heard this, this is an interesting old man. However, Mrs. Martin shouted from the other side of the car: "Honey, I accept your praise, but believe me, no matter what you say, I will not allow you to eat crab roe, that thing is too high cholesterol!"
Martin listened and hung his head: "When I get to California, you won't let me eat crab roe, God, why are you punishing me." ”
Xiao Peng couldn't help it anymore and laughed. This is really an interesting couple. No
Seeing Martin's dejected expression, it was not good to smile so directly, Xiao Peng hurriedly changed the topic: "My name is Xiao Peng, from Huaxia, Mr. Martin, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”
"You're from Huaxia? Wow, your English is really good!" Martin sighed and said in a bitter face, "Xiao, see? This is the bad thing about marriage, the most terrible creature in the world is a monster called a wife, with them, you can never do what you want to do." ”
"Hey, dear, I'm a little older, but I'm not deaf!" came Mrs. Martin's voice again. Martin hurriedly pouted outside the gas station, "Xiao, are you smoking?" I'm sorry to hear an old man's thoughts, but you know, I'm from Idava, and I haven't had anyone to talk to. ”
Mrs. Martin's voice drifted again: "I hear it again." Am I not human?"
"But you've talked too much along the way. Martin muttered. After saying that, he made a gesture to the outside of the gas station, Xiao Peng nodded, picked up his backpack and followed Martin out.
Old Martin handed Xiao Peng a cigarette, and the two lit up and chatted. Old Martin saw that he was far away, and hurriedly said, "See, this is marriage! a grave that kills all the freedom of men!"
Xiao Peng comforted: "Mr. Martin, don't complain so much, Mrs. Martin is doing this for your own good, isn't it?"
Martin said with a sad face: "Yes, it is because of this that I have not been free for decades. Every time I had an idea, she just needed to say that I was doing it for your own good, and my idea was shattered。。。。。。 ”
Xiao Peng smiled: "Then Mr. Martin, do you really want to be free so much?"
Martin's eyes widened when he heard this: "No, I don't want it! I'm not stupid, what freedom do I want? I love my wife." Okay, you kid got to the point, this is marriage, full of complaints and disputes, but there is no doubt that we love each other deeply. ”
Now it's Xiao Peng's turn to be speechless, feeling that you are sprinkling dog food on me in a fancy way. Quickly change the subject: "Mr. Martin, are you a truck driver?"
A truck industry driver is a full-time truck driver.
The trucking industry is the economic artery of the Stars and Stripes, and the annual shortage of truck drivers is two or three hundred thousand, and truck drivers are also considered high-income occupations in the United States. Because Chinese people are hard-working, they earn more.
This is also related to the composition of the salary of truck drivers in the Stars and Stripes, which consists of three parts: fixed wages, delivery wages and separately denominated wages.
The fixed salary, also known as the dead salary, is the contract price negotiated with the company, and a fixed price is set according to the distance of delivery. This salary is not a monthly salary, but a salary for this trip.
The delivery wage, also known as stop wage, refers to the number of stops and unloads, excluding parking to sleep and refueling at night. As long as the goods are picked up and unloaded at the destination, it is a stop point, and a stop point is fifty dollars, and the more times you stop and unload, the more rewards.
There is also the separately denominated salary, which is about half a dollar per mile based on the number of miles, and these three things add up to the wages of a truck driver in the Stars and Stripes.
Because of this, the income of full-time truck drivers in the Stars and Stripes is definitely a high income, with a monthly salary of about 6,000 to 10,000 US dollars, far exceeding the average income of the Stars and Stripes people of 3,500 meters.
And there is another benefit of being a truck driver in the Stars and Stripes, which is that it is very popular with young girls.
It is common to see a very old truck driver with a beautiful young girlfriend by his side. Stars and Stripes: Young girls love to travel, but what if they don't have the money? Finding a truck driver as a boyfriend is the easiest way to go.
So in the Stars and Stripes, when you see an old man coming down from a big truck and a young girl next to you, don't think it's the driver's granddaughter or daughter, they are lovers, and it's not good to have a misunderstanding。。。。。。
Martin listened to Xiao Peng's question but replied: "Okay, I'm a truck driver, not a truck driver." It's just a part-time job, I have another job. ”
