    Personally, I think ANYBODY in EMS is nutzo. ;)

    TruckerDave- are you making enough to enroll in school? Many schools offer courses that can be taken on the road (correspondence) and count as full credit.

    Just a thought

    Supporting data?
    All I can offer is anecdotal evidence, that is without real scientific proof.
    If the current trend continues, how can you argue that "tomorrow will be better"?
    Truckers made more money, were treated with respect, were looked up to,etc...
    Ask a real old timer what life was really like as a driver. I'm not old enough to remember.

    Most of the problems with the trucking industry today are self inflicted if you think cleaning out the older drivers and bringing new one's with no exsperiance is the plan i don't think so,do i see a change comeing maybe but we will see just like the cdl was going to clean house it did'nt it's all about the money not safety and if passed these new regs will make some companys alot more cash.

    Well I for one welcome any reg that helps get rid of the fat slobs. You know who you are. Parking as close to the front door as you can so you don't have to walk from the back of the parking lot. Waddling your fat ### up to the buffet so you can have some more gravy and potatoes but avoiding the vegetables like the plague. Unable to get from the ground into the back of a trailer. You disgust me. How can you look in the mirror and not see what a fat lazy slob you are? Oh I know, It's not your fault. You run hard and have no time to eat right and get exercise. BS, your just to lazy to put forth the effort.

    BMI can be misleading.
    Muscle is heavier than fat, so an athlete can easily have a high BMI.

    I had a coworker once whose BMI was 38, he was on the Olympic rowing team that same year!!
