    i am not disputing that u think u are a good driver BUT u really need ti see a doc about u not being able to relate or be around people. U sound like yo rubber band is twisted so tight that one day it will break but when it does it may end up hurting u or somebody else. As far as yo home time not being able to relax u need to get u a puppy or a fish tank i got both i come home off road my dog be so happy to see me and i spend time out side working around my house and when i can't sleep every now and then i go sit by my fish tank and watch my fish its very relaxing. U need to get a girlfriend or something , get a hobby all my friends work but i do make time to go raid their fridges. U got no family go pick up one of your little cousin, niece, nephew they will have u tired in no time. All else fails yo doc will give u something to help u relax or make some kind of suggestion. Go to a gym. Or something but dude u really need to get what u got going on in check because ITS NOT NORMAL

    I truly believe he need Medical Treatment URGENTLY... - I agree with you, if he drove all those miles WHILE at home in his days off, that's pretty insane. How about going to a movie? Or going to a bar? dance club? or whatever... but driving in an automobile pretending he is in a truck and not logging IT IS PRETTY crazy!!

    You need to put things in perspective. There is more to trucking than driving a truck.

    You obviously like to truck but the way you are going you will be out of this business sooner rather than later. So, my advice is to consider your time off as part of your job. Similar to the way an athlete cannot play without training and sleep and taking care of their body, neither can a truck driver. Your time off IS your job.

    Do you follow football? Baseball? Do you think Peyton Manning or Nolan Ryan played all those years without being fanatical about their off field training? Wise up rookie.

    Dude if you're serious here I have to tell you to get checked out. When I first started driving I teamed for a year with my father in law. I only slept 2 or 3 hours a night and would drive his shift and mine. After I went solo it took me about 3 years to learn how to drive like a solo driver and not do every load like a team. The biggest thing that helped me was my family at home and finally getting it in my head to relax and have fun doing a job i was and still am good at. It's all between your ears. I still have a little bit of a hard time with the 10 off but hell get on the cb and get some trash started or go flirt with a waitress or something.

    And if you're not trolling, this is WAY more serious than you're trying to make yourself believe. You need help. Now.

    Am I the only one who think the OP did a rail before he posted this?

    With some of the crazy people I've seen out there (and having an aunt that works in rehibilitation at a drug wing in a hospital) I can honestly believe the entire first post. That was all I could read before thinking this guy is on drugs.

    I said that to him on one of my first posts...
    That's a sign of non-sleeping pill effect, or some other substance to stay awake and drive as much miles as he can. CRAZY dangerous... He need help and doesn't want to admit...
