Rollover Wreck

Here's a link to The Persian Conversion's story. It's worth reading.

Rollover Wreck

I just keep thinking it's important to add something to this conversation. For anybody new to this industry, or even those just curious, it is almost unheard of for a driver to be considered "not at fault" for a rollover accident.

I'm hoping Ryan can be employed again, but I fear he may not be as eligible as he wants to believe when it comes to being a driver. I don't think he's misleading us or anything like that. I'm just saying his opera may not be over until the fat lady sings. Right now everybody at his company is glad he's alive and well, just as we are. As time goes by, some considerations by folks higher in the chain of command can certainly affect him.

We all wish the best for him. I remember our member "Persian Conversion" surviving a rollover and driving again, but it's really unusual.

Haven't drove in 5 years

I just have a hard time seeing any reputable company hiring you without some recent experience or training. I could be wrong, but I think you'll need to go through a refresher course at minimum.

Have you kept your D.O T. physical up to date? Your license can get downgraded without that physical being kept current.

Wow! I'm really sorry that happened to you Ryan.

Take your time and make a rational decision. We wish all the best to you.

Some folks aren't allowed to do those things. Sorry Todd, you are on that list. You've earned your position, so don't even try to complain about it.

Hello again. It's been a while but I'm back!

Hey brutha! How are ya?

It's great to hear from you. One of our other longtime members, "Turtle," is working for Walmart also.

It's always fun when one of our old friends just randomly shows up. I know it sounds silly, but a grin appeared on my face when I saw your name pop up on the forum.

Too many showers?

Most motorhomes have a shower in them. What's up with yours?

Are you aware you can request a "team shower?" That gives you 2 shower rooms for the price of one. Each parent can take a child to their respective shower and everybody gets bathed by only using one shower credit.

When we live unconventionally we have to think outside the box. Surely you can come up with solutions for this. Why don't you have a card from the truck stop? You could be gathering your own shower credits as you get fuel for your mobile domicile.

I spent a year in my youth living in a tent in a wilderness area. I bathed three or four times each week in a nearby stream. There are a lot of creative ways to bathe. You need to look for workable/practical options. Don't get stuck in thinking the benevolence of truckers is the only way to handle this situation.

Daniel B. Retiring from Trucking!

Congratulations Daniel!dancing-dog.gif

I was never in a union, but I was licensed in Texas as a Master Electrician back when I was in the electrical sign business. Did you know that?

It will take years to get to the Master level, but there's money to be made in that trade. I hope you are good with math! good-luck.gif
