    Exactly the opposite. I'm not stressed about passing anyone & every load has enough time to make it going 55, so why stress that you won't be there on time?

    it's not exactly calming when you're being cut off left and right and/or having to stay in the right lane dealing with merging 4 wheelers that don't yield at every on ramp

    Ok, since they're BP nazis are serious about blood pressure, do they provide low sodium meals at the compound?

    Wow blood pressure tests how long have they been doing that? Yeah 140 is kinda on the high side anywhere between 120 - 135 is pretty good.

    And you would know how? Your phrasing of the original comment implies you aren't, nor have ever been, a Prime driver. I am. Take my word for it. You're wrong.

    Pretty sure DOT physicals have had a blood pressure requirement for quite some time now.

    There are only a couple regions I get cut off by four wheelers (hello Massachusetts). I have been cut off more by fellow truckers than four wheelers. I keep my steering high and am very aware of the traffic around me. Makes my life calm easy breezy from apt to apt.
