Ever Get Sick While on the Road???

Sounds like a touch of food poisoning.

 

being that im advance first aid certifyed,while i was out i not only keep a first aid kit and my cpr kit along with a few extra items, i had one shaveing kit with my shaveing gear and the other with the tylanol ,sore throat stuff and some hi dose cold meds,but this kit was put in a good spot,cause when i was out i did catch a nasty cold the the regular crap wont help,so i doctored up on one of my resets after being misrable for a week and a half, but it never fails i catch one nasty cold a yr and it happened while i was pushing hard out on the road

 

The day before when I was loading I was BS's with the truck pusher/
safety man and he was telling me he had the runs and a stomach ache.

Not thinking I shook his had when leaving and I believe that is what did
me in.

 

Oh ####... one of those wicked 24 hour intestinal viruses.

Those truely suck.

 

amazing how the driver can use the FMCSA rule book to work for them.


§392.3 Ill or fatigued operator. No driver shall operate a commercial motor vehicle, and a motor carrier shall not require or permit a driver to operate a commercial motor vehicle, while the driver’s ability or alertness is so impaired, or so likely to become impaired, through fatigue, illness, or any other cause, as to make it unsafe for him/her to begin or continue to operate the commercial motor vehicle. However, in a case of grave emergency where the hazard to occupants of the commercial motor vehicle or other users of the highway would be increased by compliance with this section, the driver may continue to operate the commercial motor vehicle to the nearest place at which that hazard is removed.

[35 FR 7800, May 21, 1970, as amended at 60 FR, 38746, July 28, 1995]

 

OK now come back to the real world....

 

All tales look tall to someone who has never done anything.
