    my wife understands that i am a milk hauler and cows never stop producing. other forms of trucking have similar requirements, although maybe not as time sensitive. if the tank does not get emptied, unless the farm has excess capacity...... they WILL have to dump their milk. i can only imagine the logistical nightmare that exists when the weather gets bad enough to actually shut us down...... every farm having a full tank. not sure what happens, usually the tanks arent full when i pick them up.

    sarcasm? how much have you made so far this year. i've had the best year in my 38 years walking this earth. 70K gross. no it was not easy, allot of hours.

    i guess the point being if a driving job pays that little why even do it at all? i wouldnt do my job unless it pays enough to justify working a high risk job. this isnt exactly like working at mcdonalds

    Put your arms out straight and touch your two index fingers together and you thumbs together creating a hole to look through.
    Look thru the hole and stare at an object 12 or 15 feet away.
    While staring at the object move the hole your looking thru back towards your face.
    The hole will go naturally toward your dominant eye.
    I am left handed but right eye dominant and shoot right handed.
    When I was young they tried to get me to shoot left handed and I couldn’t hit the side of a barn.
    One day a family friend who was an experienced shooter came over and saw me struggling.
    He showed me that little trick to identify my dominant eye and ten minutes later I was putting them right in the center.

    I’m right handed, but have been told I should shoot left handed because I’m left eye dominant. If I did that I couldn’t hit an airplane on the ground if were standing under it. :confused:

    Lol
    I’m kind of backwards...
    I’m left handed and shoot right handed and also bat right handed but catch with a left handed baseball glove.

    Right handed, but left eye dominant, so shoot left handed. I could bat either way equally well and catch too, but could not throw worth a rip left handed. lol

    Best thing is to shoot with is a pistol because you hold that right in the center.
    Doesn’t matter if you are right eye or left eye dominate

    I own several pistols, and it doesn't matter which hand I shoot with, nor which eye I use, I suck with them. lol

    You just have to learn to steady those hands. ;)

    I do too, for that matter. :confused:

    With a few of my pistols I am red dot dominate lol.
    Put the red dot on what you want to hit and pull the trigger.
    Very quick and efficient.
    Down side is it telegraphs your location in the dark...
