    A particular company will crawl up my ### with a big assed magnifying glass to be sure that I am good material before being handed "Just a truck" that happens to contain a million in Pharma which can be sold in a month on the street to 10 million for me if I can stay free that long.

    Just a driver. Just a truck, just this or that. No Sir. We are something more than "Just" this or that. If we were truly "Just" then the Nation would not have a FMCSA, Not have a DOT, not have a enforcement table and so on so forth etc.

    The problem is in either a bad company (Which does happen from time to time) or more common, really bad drivers. When they show up it's really WEAWWY BAAAAD. what a mess.

    We should be thankful that God made everything carefully and with great thought, instead of oh.. it's good enough just leave it.

    Just... what a destructive word.

    They shouldn't. If they can't complete the paperwork packet that's sent to them via the mail, then they don't move to the next step.

    This is false. People strap fireworks to the necks of dogs an get a fine. No jail time. People get caught abusing animals, an I'm talking the kind of abuse that will make grown men weep or at lest questioning whether or not it's ok to kill an #######. :) I've yet to see someone convicted of harming animals get anything more but a slap on the wrist. Hell the most well known case of it resulted in the guy going back to a million dollar contract an whatever he makes now as a talking head. Sorry, rant over. It's a pet peeve of mine. You'll do more jail time for jay walking then you will abusing/killing/torturing an animal most of the time. Hunters don't generally hunt out of spite, cruelty or torture. Part of the reasons I like hunters. The majority respect the animals their hunting.



    I hope you hold similar thoughts on people who drink. Which is far more deadly and is actually linked to things like destroying your liver, turning you into a booze saturated addicted mess, etc. ;) An no, I'm not trying to start a debate or change anyone's mind. Just adding to the conversation. So please don't set me on fire or stab me with pitchforks dear readers. k'thx.

    Smoking while holding a CDL isn't a smart move in the first place mind you, but doing so before your test, an then bragging about it is pretty ####ing stupid. While me and the feds disagree on the whole legality of pot, I do agree that if you choose to indulge you shouldn't be driving. One time you get caught and your done. It sounds to me it's something that would follow one all through out their driving career. Therefore in my eyes, not worth it if you desire to be a trucker.

    Be safe out there no matter your views on the evil demonic herb known as marijuana. ;)

    Actually far less than 2 minutes for a inhaled gas containing something to exchange into the blood. I think it's around 15 seconds before it hits your brain across the blood brain barrier of your mind. Which is why people would try to smoke it fast.

    When two separate doctors administer either Fentenyal or Demerol IV to me over the blood with liquid via needle, I am out in either 20 seconds or 10. Fast enough to make sure that I am lying down to prevent injury right after they shove it into my system. My dental surgen uses a form of profofol which is really seriously fast in a continues drip. Combine that with Versed and I dont remember a #### thing even if he has to knock me out twice from the pain which usually happens mid surgery for me. (I always warn the doctors to really take me down or make sure they have a injection ready along with hailadol just in case I get violent from the hurting, people slicing into me makes me really angry fast it's not voluntary, it's something that trips a deep instinct to fight and take out anyone in range to stop the knife from slicing.

    I consider drinking as well. It takes a little bit longer to get past the gut's defenses and absorption however it will get there. Eventually. Slowly.

    What is worse than drugging and drinking is driving while tired. Half o my trucking can be summed up in a simple word. I am tired and sleepy and therefore because I am so tired and sleepy I have no memory of the places Ive gone into. Google earth has done quite a bit to update me on many places. Guiness Ale off cataract ave near the downtown core comes to mind. I was seeking out the bullpen parking area for bobtails waiting on loads to finish loading off St Paul street. If I accept that NY state measures the bridges one foot less than actual then it will be easier to find the bobtail corner. (Im still working on that.) Either that or the city has demo'ed much of the area and built HUD housing or similar projects using much more modern materials and eliminated rowhousing that were probably drug dens by now.

    Don't misunderstand me, I like me a little drink and maybe certain specific legal drugs (Not pain medicine other than Demerol which isnt given out very easily although the liquid injection form is better of the two. It's not ideal) You would look into Nitrous dental gas and a couple of other inhaling materials. I am actually sick enough to possess a medical pot card. But I choose not to because anyone who possess that card in Arkansas has lost their 2nd amendment. Police will come to both work place, cars (All of them registered to you, including boats, planes etc) and especially houses. And search and confisicate any weapons pernamently and mark you against being able to be allowed on the Gun Form that we fill out when buying weapons here. Goes against a phone call, Proceed, hold, denied. It will be denied. With the exception of gun show cash purchasing which is being in process of closure. It is actually a felony worth 10 years prison to possess both pot (Medical) and a gun.

    The United States through the DEA, FDA etc has systematically with the help of the states to eradicate any method by which ordinary people can access any substance to alter reality in the brain, get a high or feel better in the body other than cigerettes and drinking of alcohol. The last time Uncle sam tried to prohibit through excessive taxation resulted in a whiskey rebellion severe enough to cause President washington to call up, activate, arm and march 10,000 infantry heavy to the area to crush the rebellion by shooting the rebels if need be. And again during a few years of prohibition which resulted in much unneeded and wasteful dying and injury when people attempted substitutes with antifreeze etc. in so called bathtub gin. That is how we got ####tails becuse the drinks were vile and poisonous that they had to add whatever necessary to mask the taste which is part of our body's defenses not to consume that bad substance. I can go on but I think enough be said here.

    The idea of the extent to which states are crushing the people's ability to legally buy a high over the counter, either body or mind would be in the form of proposals to remove immodium AD from the market (Aka Keopectate in a different brand name and mix) and aka generic Lopermide as labeled by Walmart great value brand which itself is the actual OTC drug that is capable in sufficient amount (About 250 mg which would be around 9 drinks full of the plastic container that comes with the bottle) to create a situation where your body and all the things that hurt become not a problem. ESPECIALLY in fighting withdrawals between running out early and refills. If you got a liver like a battleship and a set of intestines that are really good quality you can consume that much medicine and get away with it for a few days. Lopermide is actually a old schedule 5 drug from the late 70's era which was removed early in the 80's to allow sales OTC for purposes of stopping bad travelers BM failures in diarehaa and so on. it is actually a very light opiate of itself. It binds to the receptors in the gut, shuts it off and make you store the liquid in there long enough to deyhdrate your body and force it to find the liquid and absorb it through the kidneys where possible. You are basically filling up with your own body wastes and then start to enter a form of sepsis in the blood as it acidfies in the bacterial waste filling it. It can make you really sick or kill you. But you will die happy and free from withdrawals.

    Little wonder that DEA and FDA are working to eliminate that stuff from OTC. They also put a schedule on pretty much everything else left standing. Some of those are schedule one now which causes YOU the trucker to be not qualified with it in your possession or aboard your body medically or illegally.

    The more the government pounds the people cutting them off for supposed or actual abuse of medicine, the more the people will make a effort to find that withdrawal stopping alternative or going outright to the dealer on the corner and get heroin which is a massive high compared to the Prescriptions for less than 1/20th retail cost of same.

    I don't know if there's a site like this but you ought to hear some of the stories at various trucking association get togethers.
    Get a bunch of guys together who do the actual interviewing and hiring and you'll hear things about applicants that will make your hair stand on end.

    The only strange, out of line, questions I've been asked are:

    - You look a bit pale. Do you feel ok?
    - You have a couple of rather strange looking teeth. Do you plan on signing up for our dental plan?
    - Do you plan to wear that cape when your driving our truck?

    WTH kind of questions are those?

    FTR, I changed myself into a bat and back to human and then asked home boy "You're looking a bit pale yourself. Do YOU feel ok?". His answer "No, I think, I, I, I, think I might need to lie down for a fe, fe, fe, few minutes". lol
