Anxiety Disorder And Trucking

I hear what you are saying. Believe me, I do. Let me give you some perspective first before you tell me that I am not cut out for this business though: My MVR is clean. CDL Class B. 14 years in coach buses all over New England. I know, I know "...but you have no idea how to drive a truck out here OTR..." yada, yada. I would like to try and wipe the sludge off of my boots and get that Class A. Negativity will not work in my case. Positivity will. And the trainers at the driving school where I tried were poking fun about possibly taking a different approach, i.e., the kid gloves approach. God forbid. But my safety record speaks for itself. So, I guess I "managed" it just fine for that long? No, I am a #### good driver Sir. Long story short, up until last year when my former employer decided that they had enough of my "suggestions" in order to help my passengers stranded on the side of the road, they terminated me. So, besides not being overly confident right now, I, like others, struggle with anxiety too.

But, with that said, if you wanna point out the full time Amtrak or MBTA position to become a train operator, rather than a truck driver - go right ahead. I am still going to try and better myself.

 

X1Heavy was spot on but with your commercial driving background you should be okay.

Were you an ATP Heavy?

 

ATP heavy? Sorry, would you mind clarifying?

 

I was asking X1Heavy if he was an Airline Transport Pilot.

 

Ya know... it's not often you listen and then speak. You made friends here.

Being a commercial bus all over NE is all I need to know you can handle a large vehicle with 50 backseatdrivers giving you a hard time. That's really enough for me, you whistle up a class A, kick back and have a go.

I prefer to see people scared but making choices and functioning while scared. That is good.

Im no hardass that's for sure. But I am getting that adrenal looked at and we will see where we are.

 

TRY KRATOM while its legal will totally kill anxiety period it's still legal DEA tried to ban a could weeks ago but its still good for now. Totally harmless in the same family of plants as coffee... just don't overdue it.. Dosen't show up in a drug test or anything.. just a leaf is what it is ... I never told anyone this though..

 

As someone who struggles with anxiety, I'll bite. Where can you find this "leaf"?

 

online lol anywhere online really just search it I prefer it over alcohol just don't use it everyday and I wouldn't recommend using it while driving in small amounts under 2 grams you'll be fine but it high amounts wouldn't do it..
