    Just a fart then?
    I've often wondered the average IQ of truck drivers. Some, many actually, are quite sharp. Then you have those guys too dense to operate a toothbrush.
    Takes all types, I suppose.
     
    Singlescrew Thanks this.

    Saw a guy in a wheel chair driving one of those GMC C5500 (The ones that look like a mini tractor). He had a 40' flatbed trailer hooked up to it. A lift brought him in his wheelchair out of the cab. He rolled around his trailer, adjusting his straps and chains on his load before getting back in and taking off. God bless ya, man. Where there's a will, there's a way. Obviously, he put a lot of money into modifying his equipment so he could keep working, but he did it.

    Where does a girl with 1 leg work at?

    In all seriousness, In a world full of lazy people its inspiring to hear about people who can overcome something as major as missing a limb.

    TOTALLY AGREE, man. My wife worked the WHOLE 3 YEARS overcoming her cancer. And she's a better woman, for it.
    To the other questions, here ya go. . . not funny, but just my contribution whilst you sleep, and I leave.

    I use a spray bottle with water and a splash of Dawn dishwashing soap. Air leaks bubble. 20151202_075515.jpg

    I once dated a girl that lost her leg from the knee down. Because of cancer. She wore a wooden leg and got around really good.

    Back when i was dirt hauling. One company we worked with that was mostly asphalt. One of their drivers had a glass eye.

    Anger?

    Disability for Anger?

    Im having a difficult time computing in my head. I don't mind Disability for those who for lack of a better word earned it... (See I said it's a poor word, some of the medical problems are truly horrible...)

    If this Person loves Trucking, I wonder if the company looking at him will associate anger with a mental health issue?
     
    G13Tomcat and Singlescrew Thank this.
