DOT physical and Texas CDL question

Good job...thought maybe that was you in the flatbed that's hauling tarps.

 

I feel for you guys/gals, having to drive up there. I'd be white knuckled doing it, at least I think I would be. lol

 

Lol. Nope I am in Chicago now. I drive a reefer for FFE.

I am to chicken to drive flatbed. I have seen to many accidents with load not properly secured.

 

Atlanta scares me more than New York City.

I just drive through NYC. I won't deliver there. Up state NY I don't mind.

 

Oh hell yeah. I've done it in a 4 wheeler years ago heading up to TN, I was totally confused on those loops and stuff. SMH

 

It's the drivers there. No turn signals, Cutting off cars and trucks, riding on everyone's butts.

 

yeah, that is true, too. But Tampa and Orlando rush hour can be bad. Hell I used to drive US 19 every day to and from work. Look it up. It's one of the deadliest roads in florida.

 

I do Orlando a lot. We have a terminal in Winter Haven. That doesn't scare me. During heavy traffic I just drive 3 - 5 mph slower than traffic and leave plenty of room in front of me.

Just 2 weeks ago there was an accident in my lane right in front of me. 4 cars. Didn't have to hit my breaks hard or go on the shoulder. The car in front of me had to go on the shoulder and still hit the other 3. He was going about 20 mph when he hit them. Didn't break till he was about 20 ft away. I predicted what was going to happen before it did and was already going 20 when the first collision happened a good 1000 feet in front of me.

 

yeah, I go over to WH on a regular basis. A little Vape shop I like is right off of cypress springs road. I agree Orlando isn't bad to drive thru, but can be a pain with the idiots. Especially with I-4 all jacked up through downtown.

 

BTW make sure that the DMV has received your DOT physical and its showing on your MVR. Thats what a DOT officer will be looking for if you ever get pulled over. Its got to be on there. Everything is going electronic these days.
