Should I lie about an injury?

I think now you have to be honest. Their doc was real thorough when I went through orientation. Roomate was sent home for wearing a cheap knee brace. The doc will check for and find scars. Plus you have already disclosed info on this site and if you used same email they will find it. They will look at your Facebook and all that stuff too.

 

Geez people what happened to integrity?

Pull tankers and make better money.

 

It is a form of medicine used by peoples in the asian nations. It does carry some risks and a little cosmetic problems with it like anything else.

Over the years Ive discovered (Again...) that certain foods is like a medicine when used properly for example cantelope I use alot of it for both the fiber material to the gut that is needed and also to provide a period of hours of hydrate for the body to get fluids from it. It is rather expensive but that is one example of what I use at home.

Flatbedding is pretty good. Work yes. But I found flatbed to be a joyful exercise of the mind also. Where does that coil go? It weighs 8000 to 13000 pounds each, forklift driver knows where he should put it but takes a time to ask you where you want it?

The worst problem with flatbedding is tarping, you can have the fork lift raise the roll up top and you unfold it up there allowing gravity to take the load. Otherwise in a covered wagon, there is a series of metal bridges up top on which to put the tarp on working front to back after the panels and posts are put up. When the winds are bad is when it's difficult. I remember times it took two or three of us working together on each others tarping to get it done in bad weather.

Some people talked about van work. If you can find drop and hook only that is the best compromise between lumping the load or loading it by hand. But the less work you put on the body sitting for 600 miles every day and then sleeping the rest of it taking in large amounts of calories will get you pretty large pretty quick.

One of my cousins would not stop eating because his life was pretty crappy such as it is. Eventually he got big enough to where the heart could not pump the blood enough to circulate it adequately and they cut him out of his apartment that day before he died not long after. I don't think he made 40. I did not care too much for him personally but it is what it is. Too much food killed him pretty quickly.

I ate thousands of calories, espeically in winter. Something like 8000 to 10,000 some days and worked it off lumping freight every day. Soemtimes twice a day. If I ate like that now I would be in the high 300's if not 400's and dead by now. I constantly work on my own weight. As long it's in the 180's it's where it should be. It was in the mid 200's not too long ago. That is not good.

 

They only want you to list it so they can deny your workers compensation when you really need it.
