You stand at the cargo door in a T-shirt, next to a Hazmat pallet, smoking a cigarette, drinking awful coffee, and watch the ground crew fuel the airplane at 4 oclock in the morning.

gentleman . . . I love the jokes .. !! Can't add any myself, as I have never been a freight dog. But would love the opportunity if anyone can point me in the right direction. over 3000 hours, mostly in caravans, SA CPL, FAA ATPL, former Load controller (Loadmaster involved in flight ops) on most narrow and wide bodied jets.
Freight dogs are kings (without them, we dont get our stuff!!).

If you have prepared a meal from your cargo!
Hell, often better than airport food.
Another one is (as a flight mech or loadie), waking up to a sunrise at altitude and fixing/eating breakfast in your underware and enjoying a breakfast in the cockpit from a vantage point few can understand. Getting dressed in time to strap back in before we land.
Nothing like eating breakfast in your underware in the cockpit of an an aircraft just like it was your own kitchen as the sun crest's the earth...

You might be a Freight Dawg if:
You use shampoo to wash your underwear.
You have cooked frozen meals on the cockpit space heater cuz the oven was inop. (DC-8)
The FE hotwired the tip-over switch on the space heater so it would run facing up..
Your flight mech jams the hot water faucet on and takes a shower under the drain mast.
You have taken in-flight crew rest sleeping on a cargo net strung up like a hammock..
You have given ATC your drivers license number for the over-flight permit.
Manual reversion is normal operation..
You have changed your callsign in-flight at least twice..
Closed airspace does not mean us...
Requested tower visibility when RVR was too low..
Pumped extra fuel to the tank feeding the engine with the only operating hydraulic pump.
Used a VERY thick pencil on a chtistmas tree W&B..
Made pallets lighter so the jumpseaters could go..
Your FE "hid" extra fuel because he didn't think you put enough extra on..
More when I think of them...

You have given ATC a competitor's tail number when they ask for "registration number"
(for navigation charges)
Your VLF/OMEGA navs have both crapped out due to a runaway generator, never to be operable again..
(at 30W of course)
