    yes dive right in on all mentioned , may not like it much as said but its readily there to discover some of the facts as they are.
    Someone tried to mention- name me & clinic time ?
    Yeah maybe , no reality check there but then thats a given for most anyone so its apparent but I'd hazard not much compared to what a bunch are already trying to run away from in their glorious " open road " pursuit
    The OTR drivers I see & on a daily basis look almost exactly what explained , physical distress , poor movement out of the truck blah moments
    The only rare exceptions would be the Sikhs as they tend to be more vegetarian but even they look pretty pasty
    & don't take any of this personally unless you'd just naturally do that , this is open advice , freely given for its purpose to
    inform , parse the words , use what one can just as in any other I don't think I'd be sniping back or at one just because
    My personal & 1st OTR exp was regional , paid hrly & per diem besides , tail gated commercial quality oak cabinets up & down the western side of the states
    constant communication , directing help @ drop off points , it was the best of what I understood would be beneficial & it clearly was
    but : even with all that refacing of cartoned freight after deliveries , tugging the cartons to the tail , re hooking the doubles after all that
    not quite enough to say one had good out of the chair physical activity for the 6 days out , can't hardly imagine how'd one manage this extreme chair time , like a nursing home bed propped up where just catch the person in that thing forever , its never been a wonder for me why these same talk so much on those headsets , bleary gab

    Hey look, we finally agree on something.

    That really is good advice, and one of the best things for a new driver to learn early on. Keep yourself from getting infected with the pervasive mind sludge that will permeate into the very fiber of your soul.

    Unfortunately, it appears the OP was an early victim.

    OP, you should familiarize yourself with this phrase: Welcome to WalMart! Trucking ain't for you....

    victim ? why ? & there is no certain sage advice here from anyone unless you'd consider all of what it really entails
    hey = this mind sludge , wow thats a real gas for something , I should get tested hey ?
    ie ; my son is considering a cdl , he's also up on what works , he'd never as he says ever allow that OTR thing to happen
    as he manages the receiving side for a kroger store he's well apprised both there & with his ride alongs
    with myself just how what works & what never did loves the lowboy moves , or anything with good to great clocked in time out of the cab
