Why does everyone complain about being a truck driver yet...

I agree, 31 is a prime time. I remember 31. No problems. Not even weight related or what have you. No pains other than what is expected after moving 48000 pounds to the floor and that goes away by morning (Or night... with enough sleep)

As far as complaining, eh... a good way to do that is to tell the story. Anyone can complain, but if you managed a story out of it that's even better.

Now what you might discover, is that people have certain limits. For example I remember one in particular. He was sitting on top of Cajon Pass in the rest area near Victoria I think it's called. The whole downgrade dropped off in front of him.

Let's roll, LA's waiting. Nope. Why not? etc. Turns out he has trouble with heights. Well, we all managed to get him and his load down and arranged to get him back home wherever that was and a driver to come out and repossess the truck. I never knew how he was able to cross these United States to get to Cajon before he decided that's quite enough. It happens.

I like to use many bad words when doing something difficult. Spouse does not wanna hear it. (Former Marine, heard it all...) so it's out. As in take it outside. =) That's how we take care of that.
