Then lay in bed is what you need to do. I have no idea what level medical coverage you have, luckily in Ontario hospital coverage is forced thru our taxes but when you leave, without private coverage, other than doctors visits you're not covered, we've got crazy out of pocket costs...

Something for paid work that doesn't involve driving on meds is possible too if you insist on punching a clock...you just have to change how you made a living. Easier said than done, I know I've got no suggestions that way, my occasional expediting income is supporting us while I care for...

You'll find something you can do again. This is what disability was made for, no guilt, you deserve it and no one not in your situation can even imagine what you're going thru. The wife is 35 and has disintegrating joints from arthritis, as well as EDS HD, migraines, failing kidneys and liver...

Nice dog, sorry to hear that, I hope you get him back

Far more satisfying to just suddenly quit

Summer slow season, time for bankruptcy. Goodbye tax bill

Surprised by a 1 am direct. Imagine if you will, driving a few short hours to a foreign country with an open border, where you don't speak the language and can't read the signs. Mirabel, Quebec - they have horizontal stoplights too. Shippers are bilingual but English seems to fade when you...

In the beginning it will be fun to watch...whether angry truckers attack them or people try and rob them...but it's coming, Audi has one ready and Volvo supposedly is releasing one (car) for 2017...the convoys are already being tested on highways in Europe

Most times, asking gives the opportunity for someone to say no in my experience...like the officer who asked who gave me the permission to change my balljoint in a grocery store parking lot i was already almost done, so he went away and let me finish

Geez you "older" generation crack me up. My idea of retirement is a larger sleeper with forced 10 hour breaks...

Or the yellow Penske's would be in heaven (Just being negative if ALL trucks did stop we'd get a result)

Well, Uber and Tesla have billions to invest and there's not one trucking company I know of that wouldn't jump at the chance to eliminate drivers...life will just keep getting more interesting I guess

About the self driving, they've already opened up the door in my province...saving up for a driverless van, I'll ride it and become a tourist...but no government or union can save us from those desperate ones willing to drive for cheap, or slow it down, it's already happening

We need a combination like and bummer smiley

Wow. Canada in one short article

It will effect change...it will speed up the self driving trucks I think they're coming faster than anyone thinks, I'm just enjoying the present state of things and making sure I don't invest too much in a dying industry People are clueless tho...i mean do you eat? Do you live in a building...

That's awesome, thanks for posting it! Never seen one...as for space I guess you guys have never been in an Alumnibunk e350 ford with the 24" sleeper...its very easy to heat and cool a small space, down to -41 I didn't idle It does look more suited to expedite flatbed work if there is such a thing

Like I said, total chaos :D I went to exactly the same place 5 or 6 days a week for 9 years straight. I'm enjoying the job again

Ok curiosity here what's the special task? Rocket engine?

Ya I noticed...just missed you, left last night...(one place in Jersey City had diesel for 1.89 but they were doing state inspection so I missed it) only charged a buck for my sprinter tho...thanks for the tips on Brooklyn everybody made it out alive with an unscathed sprinter Only problem on...
