Now I'm being accused of pontification?
When we got people on here perverting what I said?
Got a guy saying 50 below is no big deal. When I know a Wildlife Biologist who lives in Norman Wells, Northwest Territories. Even there, when it gets 50 below before wind chill. They just stop everything. Hoard up in their homes. Don't even bother to try to start a vehicle. And I'm being told it's no big deal? Sure!
On supplements. It's only the fact that we don't get this stuff now. Used to be plentiful. Mine and your ancestors ate plenty of this stuff. One thing we ignore is minerals. Most all of you are actually dehydrated. You don't realize it. That's all I want to do is actually eat. That's all. So much to ask?
The Roman's destroyed themselves from the inside out. It is said they didn't know about lead. They knew about it. They just thought if they didn't have high exposure to it. They were ok. They were wrong. They went crazy.
Get people here who keep adding or taking away from what I said. Just to give them an excuse to argue. An excuse to say; go do a day job. Won't work in OTR. When it works just as easy in OTR as anything else.
Then of course there is the person who pointed out, not everyone takes a 34. But conveniently left out that those people have 15 hours every day off. ... Doh! Gee billybob... I is stupid!
It's just a matter of finding an intelligent trainer. One who will allow me to sleep with a little extra stored in my bunk. Not what I would take on my own. But enough to get by.
At least I got a little bit of constructive input from this. One in particular was through PM. I ended up helping that person as much as they helped me. Which is what I hope to do with a trainer. Always giving, always helping others.
The other constructive input I got was; Expect plenty of short sighted trainers. Whom I need to make sure I don't accept going with. No, I don't need someone trying to tell me I don't have a choice. I've already filtered out those companies who don't give me a choice.
I have learned here. What I ask is going to be a good filter for trainers. Filter them out to find a good one. Yes, I did plan on training during winter on purpose. To pick up on driving a tractor/trailer in winter conditions as much as I can, as soon as I can. I already know alot about winter driving from doing classB though 7 winters. That leaves me wanting to know more, always, more. That's called wisdom.
What I'm asking is not "special needs". It's basic common horse sense. To actually eat. To actually not freeze so badly, I can't do a decent inspection when it most likely counts the most. If one tries to do anything half fast in winter. They end up failing.
People have no idea how bad off they are.

I did not accuse you of pontificating. I said it sounds like you do.

Here is the basic problem with forums like this. When someone asks a question, in their mind it is coming off one way, in the readers mind it comes across another.
I have done it more times than I can remember.

The other thing to remember is that in these forums and most others people will try to rat your head out. Some, most will try to be helpful.

Tell your trainer: Here is my health problem and here are my needs. Its private between you and him or her.

In the South I see pickled eggs in a lot of places. No refrigeration needed. Maybe you buy a case of those?

Then how will iluvCATS and I throw peanuts at a trainer. One which we tied to the back of the cab. While we make smoothies on top of my flatbed.
BTW: I love cats too. I love all animals. Have a cat going with me OTR. She'll take care of the trainer. (here come the comments) I confess...am nuts about dogs. But do love my cat dearly.
