Does one of those rules have anything to do with prescription drugs?

Just sayin...

For your Sake I hope that rule wont effect you and that You will be grandfathered. OOPS they took that Clause away also sorry. ROTFLMAO.

The decoder ring I picked up awhile back says he's talking about trucker fitness/BMI. Is something new at the Fed?

I'm actually working on a series for EO/Expedite Now about the new safety rules (including driver fitness, which might not mean BMI specifically, but you know...). One of the parts will have to do with driver and carrier reactions to the new rules. Not certain i can use anything straight out of this thread, but I'm definitely interested. Will post a new thread with more specifics in the next day or so.

NO not really, they have been talking about FAT drivers for a while now and even my first physical I was lectured on my weight.

Like the sleep apnea thing, there is a lot of confusion and a lot of speculation about truckers falling asleep in such mass that there is carnage on the highways without the need to have sleep tests being done on every fat trucker. One doctor, who happens to sit on the DOT advisory board said that a lot of the advice was not driven by safety but rather money - tried to get into a sleep lab?

No decoder ring needed, Plain and Simple get with the Program for its too late. Leave the Cigs Cigars & Booze alone. Drugs as well. Get your self into shape. That's only part of it.

You know also the new rules that are going to be hitting all drivers, on Speed tickets, fix it tickets, ect ect. ect.
Heck a new point system for that too. HMM Interesting but true.

Yup Uncle Sam will have a more a controlling factor in all we do.

But not to worry he will take care of US.

Pretty soon we will end up all being told when to Drive, Eat, Sleep and Take a dump so to speak. oops they already in process of doing that. Hmm

Yup times a changing not always for ones liken .
so with that in mind just remember this.
Exercise eat right and not offend any one but
say your Prayers and Do your PTI right.
That about sums it up.

I know you threw that at me. But its quite obvious Physically and mentally I'm in perfect Health.

Not falling apart at the seams like so many that I see out here. Ya know a Carnival and a Circus are allot alike.
Both have different acts 3 rings and they even got Clowns to laugh at. A bunch of Carnies The Circus people are Better paid. But the fact remains their just a Carney.

Like I said this place hasn't changed.

Greatest show on Earth.
