    I know right!!! I was pushed across an ice parking lot 2 winters ago in NE. It was 12° F, raining, and blowing about 50 out of the North East. Was doing the duck walk back to my truck, once I cleared the building and the wind hit me it was all I could do to keep my feet under me. The wind pushed me about 30 feet before I could get my hands onto something to stop myself. For most of the 30 feet, both of my feet were flat on the ground. Once I was back to the truck I people watched for about an hour... Lots of people went down HARD.

    There’s a breathing technique to get BP down. It works. Takes five minutes.

    I bought chains for the boots once..

    I might still have the #### things stored on a shelf somewhere. Sometimes the ice here gets really bad.

    There was one incident up on Emigrant made the mistake of getting out to see if i still had a tire. WHIFF.

    I managed to slash my hand on the last little bit of trailer before I went sailing down the mountain road.

    That would be interesting to solve.

    I don't mind these people taking my temperature at these places.

    But like this Kroger DC, in Phoenix, they said they have to do it analy.

    And I'm like," Man I just wanna deliver this stuff."

    And this girl is like," If you want on the premises, we need to put this up your ###."

    And I'm like,"Well, if that's an anal thermometer, how come it looks like a nightstick?"

    I've drank enough diesel since yesterday afternoon that there's no way the coronas could survive in my system.

    Sometimes trucking is retarded.

    I was diagnose with that a few years ago. Part of the problem was resolved with the stopping of the Drug Interdiction Panel Questions designed to uncover addicts, abusers and those who divert etc. I had to concentrate and deal with the interdiction questions carefully. No issues on my part but it led to a education on both sides.

    Now when I go to the ER for whatever I get whatever is needed and they don't bother with the questioning. A simple eye exam with a moving light and a blood screen to order tells them soon enough. Keeps everyone stress free.
