    That's what that 3rd pedal is for right? A foot rest to keep that knee wedged against the wheel so you can eat. God knows: I want my meatball sub in my face... not on my shirt. Lol.

    The only time our drivers have been spoken to, if if the video clip shows them eating, or texting or something like that.

    Why not just learn how to put your second hand on the wheel? :rolleyes:

    Let me put it this way, I'm willing to learn new tricks if the compensation package is worth it.

    Absolutely, I'm one of them. For some reason my left and right hand don't act as one...or just can't agree on which way to go :)

    Thinking the same thing. I can't remember when I've driven with both hands on the wheel in a truck

    Just add a diaper or main line them with a catheter and a colostomy bag.

    Two hands on the wheel ...uh, I'd be fired before I got outta town.
