18 WHEELS ON THAT SEMI OR 10 ???????????????

I've been driving 18's ALL my life but I keep seeing these semi's with the BIG single tires all over the vehicle so I FINALLY have to ask. It's been bothering me a long time and I keep forgetting but now we're here -

What's the difference? What's the cost? What's the benefit ? If any. What's the reason?

AND ANY OTHER QUESTIONS YOU CAN ANSWER and think of regarding these tires. I'm going to be needing new tires soon so I'd like some feedback about them if I'm going to make the switch. Thanks.

Seriously considering becoming a trucker!

Poor health is a bad substitute for a good driver. I have found that SO MUCH relies on being healthy even though I am not fit. I try to watch things but not getting enough rest seems to be my biggest problem along with not eating right. It's SO hard to do these things. If you don't plan for doing the right thing and being careful you could find yourself in a big mess or wreck.

The Adventures of Daniel B.

Daniel and everyone on the road,

Some things I learned and would like to comment on from reading Daniel's post -

1. Your truck is like your gun in the army. You must take very well care of it because it is your life in many ways.

2. Although I'm OTR you can't and should not live in your truck. It's not healthy in MANY different ways (why do you think the manufacturers make them so nice in side. Everyone involved with buying the truck (including yourself) wants to keep you moving and going down the road because that's the only way to make money. It's a tough price to pay on your body and on your family life. Is it worth it?

3. Eating healthy is VERY important. Analogy - If you put garbage in your body will become a garbage truck instead of a nice restaurant.

4. Getting enough sleep is VERY important. After rolling MY truck and almost killing myself and others, THANK GOD I learned this lesson and didn't hurt anyone including myself.

5. Doing some basic exercises to keep your body limber and in shape. If you make it to old age someday you'll be driving one of those little battery operated carts around because you can't walk (AGAIN, is it worth it)?
