Yetkin, who has developed an emotional bond with his truck, said that he knows all the habits of his truck and does not plan to change it. Stating that he is the second owner of his truck, Yetkin said that he did not change his truck because he was afraid of getting into debt. Emphasizing that his truck driver friends changed their trucks with credit, Yetkin said, “My friends always changed their trucks, I did not. Because I was afraid of debt. I am peaceful and happy about this. Many of my truck driver friends took out 50 billion 100 billion 200 billion loans from banks through places like Esnaf Kefalet. They are all serving time in prison in Mahmutlar. I live freely and I have my car.” Yetkin, who said that he carried loads to cities such as Adana, Mersin, Diyarbakır, Batman and Siirt with his old truck, said, “I am happy and peaceful with my truck. I have learned everything about it now, I can sense which wheel has an ant on which ball when it turns. When I take it to the mechanic, I say let’s open this wheel. The mechanic says, ‘What’s wrong with that wheel?’ I say, ‘You open it and there is an ant on the ball.’ I have it opened, when I think it is a spare one, I lubricate it myself, put it on, and continue. I know everything about it. I have been his companion for 40 years. Even my license plate is the original plate. Sometimes a policeman born in 1990 stops me on the road. He says, ‘Brother, is this license plate of yours fake? It is not in TR.’ I say, ‘My land, this is an intelligence car. I am also from the state, I am MIT.’ He says, ‘Okay, my land, continue.’ What would a policeman born in 1990 know?” Yetkin, who stated that he was like a second son to his 40-year-old friend, said that he does not plan on selling his truck and will leave it somewhere as a souvenir in the future. Yetkin, who stated that he is the happiest truck driver in Gazipaşa, said, “I do not have a tape recorder in my car, I listen to the sound of the wheels, the sound of the ball bearings. The transmission and differential sounds are enough for me anyway. There is no need for a tape recorder.” Yetkin, who advised the new generation of truck drivers not to get into debt, said, “They should not get into debt, they should not destroy their homes. They should sleep with their wives at night and wake up in the morning. That is what I want. If they get into too much debt, they will break up or divorce in 2-3 years, this profession does that.” #truck #trucking #fordbrandtrucks #news #breakingnews #agenda #trucker ================================= Ihlas News Agency Official Website ► http://www.iha.com.tr Ihlas News Agency Social Media Addresses ► / iha.com.tr ► / ihacomtr ► / ihacomtr ► https://plus.google.com/+ihatr_ihacomtr/ About Ihlas News Agency http://www.iha.com.tr/hakkimizda.html To reach Ihlas News Agency ►http://www.iha.com.tr/hakkimizda.html
