Well now people are getting shot over parking. It's on I-40 so it's actually believable.

Depends.

But this has been coming for a long time now.

I'm telling ya, if I had to drive across 5, 40, and 70 all the time, I'd be out of trucking.

Best $100 I ever spent. RIGID battery blower, just enough blow to get the grooves cleaned out and not enough to create a great big dust hole blowing out the trailer.
Well those days are behind me now....Dr's aren't sure exactly what happened, but between the pulmonary issue and the cardio issue got into a very heated exchange with my dispatcher on the phone, next thing I know I'm doing an incredibly close visual of the dining room floor. My son is basically panicked and almost screaming on the phone with someone....I get his attention and find out he has called 911, the 911 dispatch is trying to get info out of Dale and I finally am able to get them to reduce the medic unit to Code 2, no need to scare the neighbors. The engine and medic unit pull up and in walk 2 of the rookie EMT-P's I trained 29 years ago. Brother did I get a ration of stuff on the way to the ER.
But they did get me up to date on all the youngsters I trained that arre now sipping rum on the beaches of retirement. As is protocol, ER notified DMV of the syncapal episode, and my license is now suspended. But they can't stop me driving my baby deere here at home, or my Husquevarna riding mower.
Have 14 weeks of short term disability through the company, and it looks like I will become a "ward of the state" on State disability for as long as that plays out.
Yesterday, mama drove me to a DR visit and then to some errands around town. Going down the highway I could feel my stress level going through the roof....has me wondering if I'm "psyched out" with regard to driving. A freind of mine who I've known for decaades, asked me if this could be tied in to the suicide by big truck I was involved in 12 years ago, so I asked my neighbor (psycologist) if that was possible last night. He said it is possible.
Looks like my days at the wheel are done. Let's see....where do we start on the "home front bucket list"?

You know why they can't do a HazMat / TWIC / precheck / Fast card all in one shot?

Hazmat clearance $86.50
TWIC clearance $86.50
precheck $86.50
FAST card $86.50
Click to expand...

There are some states that will give a discount if you get Haz and Twic at the same time. At least I've been told that there are. I've never lived in one.
