Truck drivers hate "four wheelers" because they don't know how to drive.

When they're not in their semi they generally drive a four wheeled vehicle their very own self, presumably being hated on by other truck drivers.

One of those candidates for 'worst memorable phrase in history' is the old "duct-tape for things that move and shouldn't and wd-40 for things that should move and don't".

WD-40 isn't a lubricant. It often works to get something un-stuck, but then you need to still clean and lubricate the parts to keep it working.
