75 Chrome Shop & The Long Haul Bandits. We sat down with the Long Haul Bandit at the 75 Chrome Shop in Wildwood FL. We talked about everything from bee haulers to bringing back respect in the trucking industry. The bandits are on a mission to better the trucking industry by helping educate those that have not learned about respect. One driver at a time they induct them into the LHB or the Long Haul Bandits Trucker Club. Entrance is not just a signature and you’re in. The gate keepers are Sancho and Grump, the Prez and VP. They take the Bandits very serious and they are on guard. If you want to be in the club there are a few things you will have to do and have. The have of course if the “desire”. You must really want to be a part of this growing group of truck drivers that want to do things the right way and make the brotherhood of trucking a thing of respect. The second thing you will need to have is a great attitude. You will want to be positive because thats what the industry is in desperate need of.
Your Tasks
75 Chrome Shop & The Long Haul Bandits. Your assignment? Just picture “mission impossible” music playing as you’re reading this! Your assignment? Help people. Thats right you must record yourself twice a month helping another trucker either back in a door or maybe helping him or her disconnect a trailer but it must be recorded. The second thing you will need to be recorded doing is (Music just got louder Haha) pick up garbage for 15 minutes at a truck stop twice a month. Dent Dent Dent da dent dent dent dent (Music is in dents lol! But seriously this is what you must do to earn your stripes into the club. If your attitude says this sounds dumb then this group is not for you. Think about a new future and is this what you want to be a part of and then move forward. Thank you to the 75 Chrome Shop for having us a there guests.
TalkCDL would also like to thank the bandits for inviting us into the group. We look forward to helping this group grow with us. We would also like to invite anyone from the group to come on the show anytime and tell us your story.
Events with the Long Haul Bandits
Each year the long haul bandits have 2 events. Big Cookouts and a chance for members to come together and actually meet in person. Gear up and get your appetites because when the bandits get together its lots of eating and fellowshipping. Meetings and of course corresponding online is an event its self on a daily basis. One of the first things you will notice is how much everyone is involved on the social media pages. You will notice a very supportive group for one another and that right there is a huge difference from other trucking groups. President Soncho and his VP Sir Grumpster lead the way with daily messages of encouragements. Take the time to really look into this group and Im sure you will find a place where people really do care about you and everyone a part of it. A special thanks to the 75 Chrome Shop.
