    Hey, if nothing else, try to get on with a beer or soda delivery outfit. Those outfits will hire anyone with a pulse because schlepping 2000 cases a beer in and out of the convenience stores all day isn't anyone's idea of fun for very long.

    There is a highway, I think it is highway 12, runs from Texas into Louisiana, I wanna say near Dewey, with a sign that says the bridge 12 miles or so ahead is 12 feet something. It isn't. Dry vans make it through there with plenty of overhead space to spare. I think some of these places lie on the sign just cause they don't "want" a truck going through there.

    The same could be said though about people with high blood pressure.

    Not even in the same ball park. Try again.

    Ha. I have seen high blood pressure people do some pretty dumb things, get out at a red light and run back to the car behind them and spit on the windshield. Don't see folks with anxiety doing that. You'd know best, being with Swift and all. :)

    That was your 'try again' response?

    Very sad.

    No, I actually edited it. Seemed insulting really what I put originally. I'd worry more about blood pressure before anxiety, but DOT worries about them both. They can both put you into being disqualified. So, really no sense in arguing about it.

    So you edited out the insulting things, while still sending an insulting remark about me working for Swift?

    Nit.

    They turned you down because of your work history, as you said.
    There also could be something in the records of you refusing to drive because of your condition.
