    On the other side of the coin, the rules and regulations tend to keep people who can't follow rules out of 80k+ road missiles.

    Those same rules also keep our wages higher than they would be if any schmuck with a pulse could jump in a truck.

    Just got my truck washed at the Beacon. Had the engine done as well. I vacuumed it thourghly.

    Then I hand dried it, polished the wheels dressed the tires and out side plastic, detailed the engine bay, also checked all fluids. Then I put a coat of wax on all the lowers.

    Next is laundry and then I go to sleep and prepare for my midnight run.

    Medical history (like all history) should be verified. In this case with the family doc/ primary care. Either verify or do a stress test physical. Put some of the can't see their shoe types on a treadmill. But that would add cost and time to the process.

    Then again you get people like me that have not had a doc since high school in the 1970's. Been thinking it may be time to find one.

    They remembered the last two I did a few years ago. This time I don't have to waddle, trip, lumber along or in general.
