Today, I saw a flatbed truck with “Not for hire” lettered on the side.  So, I had to wonder “is the driver regularly approached about hiring the truck?”

I mean, I wouldn’t think of walking up to a stranger and asking if I could hire the truck.  And, most of the people that I know wouldn’t think of doing it either.   But, that is just me and my friends.  Maybe there are a lot of people out there who are looking to hire a truck.  But, I suspect that is not the case.

And, does the sign really deter people from asking?  I mean the sign is on the front fender, so if you approached the truck from the rear, you might not see it.  But, regardless, I think that the owner of the truck is self impressed and delusional.

Maybe the driver is a deaf mute who regularly points  to the sign.
