    About a year and a half ago my boss came up to me and asked if I had been to California lately. I said no. He said he had gotten a call from the CHP saying that they were investigating an accident involving a truck. When they put in the tag number it was My tag. I got a lot of flack for being able to drive from Tn to Ca overnight and back and get involved in a wreck on top of it. We were local so my truck was a day cab. I told them it was fast but not that fast.

    I've only took ONE yellow jacket in my life.

    I was so jacked up, nervous, twitchin and jumpy. I'll bet if a cop would have
    found me he'd have thought I was on meth. Never again.
    It didn't react well to my body. I don't need that mess.

    In the long run that is better for your body to get out of the truck and move
    around some. While I can and have gone farther than that when I do I can hardly move for the first couple minutes.

    When I was driving I tried to stop every 3 hrs even if for just a couple mins so as to stretch my legs.

    I know I'm a wanna-be and all, but ealier this month I drove from Fayetteville, NC to just outside Grand Rapids, MI in one day. No way in #$#%*& I could/would try that in a truck, mostly because of the WV Pike.
