    So you think.

    No one expects the OM.

    I seriously don't see any problem? I touch my toes easily. Do allow my knees to bend a little.
    Maybe it's from back when I rehabilitated. Tons of exercise. Tons more of dynamic stretching. I was in good shape.
    I've learned a whole lot...
    I should quit fooling around. Get back on the program.

    I agree I wash my truck every Saturday morning. Even if it's raining. It is easier because I can wash it at home. Ok this is going to jinx me but I have been called around back for a couple years now am thinking because my truck and trailers look like they are cared for.
    Oh and to add. One week to go

    Two more weeks until the outdoor ice skating rink opens downtown. Nothing like ice skating in shorts outside when it's 85° out. I wonder how much that costs the city to run the coolers to keep the ice frozen, can't be cheap?

    I remember when I wrote that there's no freedom in trucking... specially being a company driver and using elogs... :biggrin_2552: You disagreed... I understand your point of view and I truly respect that... but that's one of the situations I can give as an example of no freedom...

    Another one instance of no freedom being a company driver on elog... when I park for a 34 hr break but have to stay in the truck wherever I am because the truck is my only way of transportation and my company doesn't allow more than 20 miles on pc....
    Another example is when I want to take some days off regardless of how long I am on the road but have to wait till my hometime comes which happens once every two months at least.
    Another one is that I can't move around living in a space as big as a closet.
    The other is that even during my so called "off duty time" I am still inside of the truck wherever I am and still responsible for the truck....
    I always feel like this... specially when I am not trucking.... and have all the freedom I want... to go anywhere, any time and do anything... even though I love the road and love to live on the road... there's no freedom in trucking...

    Get you a local run. No e logs, get out of the truck everyday. You might like it or it might make you realize that you like running the road.
     
    D.Tibbitt and WesternPlains Thank this.

    Just think about how bad it would be if the ones that failed out of CDL school were driving too. The failure rate is not small.
