The hidden danger of looking but not seeing
Distraction is the nemesis of anyone trying to observe safe driving practices. We all know that. Cellphones, GPSs, ELDs, lane-change warnings, etc., all contribute to taking away a truck driver's attention while on the road.
But what many don't realize is that the problem goes much deeper than being distracted by gadgets and such. There is actually a science behind this, and it has a name – inattentional blindness.
The hidden danger of looking but not seeing
In motorcycling, it's called target fixation. Stay safe out there.

I'm going to give people the wrong idea about truckers....
You may think that if you like, but I have years of experiences confirming that a positive presentation of yourself will get you the best treatment out here.
I believe he meant that as sarcasm.

I am scheduled to start orientation on the 12th for a dedicated route and will be trying for the doubles endorsement which is required for the job($8.5 for doubles test)...In TN will they require me to pay for my address change on license for a CDL, it doesn't match where I currently live? I read the TN website as I don't have to pay the $16 to change the license just report my address change for free for their database, not much money but just don't have it right now....
If you truly needed the $16, and have a paypal address or some other way for me to get it to you, I'll hook you up.
I LOVE you guys!

We'll help you make the right choices and prepare for a great start to your trucking career.
