Yes 3 yrs from completion of sentence for.misdemeanor.. and 10.yrs from end of sentence for felony

I think a part of it is HOS, trip planning, and changing technology. Local guys start, drive, park usually the same time every day. They also drive areas they learn fairly well. OTR causes you to constantly be in unfamiliar areas, deal with rotating schedules and managing those hours differently.

Let us out it this way.... trucking is extremely long hours without any consistency or real schedule.

If we park at 5pm we have to eat, shower. Laundry. Sleep and be nack to work at 3am. Drive until 1pm... then back to work at 11pm.

Most people with mental illness need a set routine and adequate sleep. That is very hard in trucking. Often training requires team training meaning one person drives and the other sleeps. It is very hard to sleep in a moving truck.

It isnt about liking the driving..or road rage.. it can also be about making a thoudand decisions a day that are life and death decisions. Aldo. Be advised that many companies may not accept whatever meds u may be on.

My concern is that you have been suffering from a mental disability your entire life and it is getting much better.

Trucking is one of the most stressful professions you can find. The pressures may push you over an edge and make you decline mentally.

I watched my sister spiral out of control from mental issues and I never want to see anyone go through that.

My suggestion would be to find a job and get some work experience first. If you cannot handle the pressures of a job. Trucking may do some real damage to you or god forbid others.

50mph x 10hrs is 500 miles minimum a day. In a car u can make much better time. Faster and can drive longer. A GPS often calculates it for u. Loaded truck weight will slow us down on hills/mountains.

Let me explain it this way... the US is extremely litigious. The trucking companies always lose and pay out millions. We are not even allowed to take a Benadryl or Zyrtec at some companies. Sick? Comtrex or Mucinex and that is it. Anything else and the lawyers attack in court after an accident. We cannot take any sleeping pills despite having really erratic sleep schedules and extremely long hours. We only get 10 hours a day off from.work (shower, eat, laundry and sleep) but spend some of it here.. answering questions for new people who want to enter trucking. So having someone like you take up our time on a topic that is not even a possibility is abhorrent.

Some of us cannot even smoke or reach for a coffee without the inward AI camera yapping about distracted driving.

And most of us are older, we were taught that pot is a gateway drug. It was completely illegal. Now that it is legal in most states, we see a boom of druggies and homelessness everyday all over the country. My father's home section of Philadelphia. Kensington, makes international news with the walking zombies. This just proves it is not a harmless drug.

My sister was only a pot smoker on occasion until someone put something in it. Then she went full force black.tar heroin, became schizophrenic until she killed herself.

Criticize my logic all you want. But any alcohol or drug use can be abused. The only way to regulate use is to prohibit it.

Nope. I drink only water. Like it or not.. it is against regulations. End of discussion..
