    I didn't know what you were talking about with the Blue Light a few months ago, just thought it was more of 1xH's conspiracy theories lol but I found it on my laptop and it did explain like you said, the red light for night time viewing does help relieve brain stimulation and eye strain. I have it set up on my new smart phone as well. I do believe it has helped a ton. You never know who on this forum is going to put out life saving advice.... thanks!

    I don't know if it was in this video or another. There were a few threads and someone them got locked, and some of them were removed from YouTube.

    In one of his videos he stopped talking to pick his nose. I think that one was removed. :D Who does that, intentionally or not. All credibility is just lost.

    Just someone with a bigger mouth than a brain, IMO.

    I was wondering about that too.

    If it involves me in anything, give me a little time. Eventually I'll understand long after everyone else has.

    If there has been that much locking going on then I am not going to pursue this particular problem.

    I approached it as a royal eff up from the Load Dispatcher or Planner and now Im beginning to look at Mr Whine more than anything. Such a young buck, should be able to put in a 20 hour day don'tcathink?

    ROTF.

    OMG you are so funny. I love it.

    I have not finished the exploration of Geneology in the Amish side, there are two forms of it. Old Amish and New Amish. I hope to god my tree is a branch of the new Amish.,..

    I'm happy now.

    Most of the time when I visit something that possibly is a conspiracy, if I know what's good for me I don't write about it. Which isnt that often. I learned about blue light from a gamer in Star Trek Online (Yes I have the same handle..) and sometimes after a little investigation, if it works for me and helps... I have no problem trying to help truckers with this.

    The big thing about this light started when Cars are no longer built with the old Sealed Beam Headlight technology (A bulb... and a dim one at that... he he) and migrated into LED technology which forced me to wear a particular type of Yellow Lenses to make it through the night. (And I love to run at night. People get sleepy at dinner time, Im just cranking up...)

    He had a 10 hour break, then dispatched to move a trailer 20 miles or some such short distance and did another 10 hour break. Then he was dispatched to run 448 miles over night and deliver in the AM but some 3 or so hours into the run called and said he was falling asleep at the wheel. Dispatcher tried different ideas to stimulate the kid even tried to piss him off and humiliate him (which sometimes works-- "I'll show that dispatcher how good a driver I am!") but instead Abe chose to film it and turning into a butthurt story. I think it backfired bigtime. Even in his 20/20 TV interview the interviewer was trying his hardest not to roll his eyes.

    This video sponsored by Heavy Metal. There is a better version on YouTube incorporating clips from the movie, but it is NSFW or delicate truckers... I do think it would help Amish children though. Shame they will never see it.
