    Well son, here's what you do... here's uncle cat's path to success and freedom. Take notes.
    1. Gain mechanical knowledge and ability.
    2. Buy an old truck (something cool. Think paccar)
    3. Progressively fix up old truck as you work it.
    4. Buy parts you don't need, just because you actually found them.
    5. Work on truck most weekends and keep saving money... you'll need it to keep the thing in working condition while all the guys saddled with $2500 monthly payments complain about elds, def, satellite communication, and not being able to idle.
    6. Truck like truckers have for 100 years, with a smile on your face, getting 5mpg... but knowing you can always get 5mpg because your onebox won't go caput and your eld won't put you out of service.

    Revise 15 min on duty not driving to off duty and if asked for a reason say that it was a visit with another driver at a fuel stop or "potty break".

    Is this something new to the world of Wikipedia or just some colloquial phrasology from a swamp thing?
    Let me help you;
    to begin to be understood or realized by (someone) for the first time The solution finally dawned on him. It suddenly dawned on me that I hadn't eaten all day.
