    Yea I tried it. My first twist I was setting on the trunk lid of my uncles 1953 Cadillac, I was suppose to be going down on Grays branch to drive the cattle in for milking. Got so outta my head I forgot what the hell I was suppose to be doing. When I did get my head about myself I made it to the holler, before I got the cows back to the top I had walked the buzz off thank God. Got so #### hungry I could have ate one of those cows hide and all. Made me sleepy as 3 kinds of ###### too, it wasn't for me.

    What really puzzles me is this....
    I started driving before CDL's came about. The Government said these CDL's would take the tripe out of these trucks, and only the best of the best would be driving these rigs and the roads would be much safer!! Did the government lie to us, again? o_O

    Not a fan of government but I have to say this in their defense as to the best would be driving....they never counted on Swift drivers ;) That said...I wonder if Swift drivers are on pot?

    You were implying that I can't read. That was the insult.

    You missed all my points. I quit 10 years ago because I don't want legal trouble. Don't hate booze, I drink. However weed is no worse than beer, both should be legal when used responsibly

    Yes it is worse... and booze is water soluble...passes through ones system quickly where pot..or THC clings to fatty cells that leaves the substance in the body much longer and can have effects which in some can last days...

    There are thousands of billboards on the highways,... Don't drink and drive, Don't drive while impaired, don't drive while using drugs, how many warnings does a person need? It's not only common knowledge that drugs should not be in a commercial vehicle, it's the law. Not all of us like obeying laws and it's obvious in this thread. Not perfect myself, I do speed occasionally, but not in traffic. As far drugs go, if you get caught with them in a company vehicle knowing your not suppose to have them in there, then you need to walk out the gate.
