I'm not worried about automated cars getting too popular any time soon. Nothing like what we saw in that move, I, Robot with Will Smith. I saw on the news a few months ago that a driver was killed even though they had a self-driving car. There was a stop sign (or a light, can't remember now) and when the light changed the car pulled out and was hit by a tractor trailer.

The type of self driving car this person had still required the driver to pay attention to the surroundings. He didn't and he died as a result. As for the big 18-wheelers becoming automated...I don't see that for a LONG time.

Why not do some sort of exercise so you don't get out of shape? Buy a jump rope for example. Or the perfect push-up device.

Not to high jack this thread, but you said Walmart pays their drivers 18 an hr in Central Kentucky? Anyone know how much OTR experience one needs before going to work for them?

Walmart' Private Fleet requires three consecutive years of OTR experience with no reportable accidents as a minimum requirement. First year average pay for a Walmart Private Fleet driver is $82,000.

Suggestion for next time; if you have an off-topic question or point, start a new thread.

Will do G.

Congratulations and best of luck on your new adventure. Not sure what WM starts out at where you live, but here in Central Kentucky, they start out at about $18/hr which is really good for this area.

I would keep my CDL-A if I were you, just because you can drive anything with it and it's such a pain to get reinstated if you relinquish it.

I believe in this case WM refers to "Waste Management" not wal-mart.

Thanks Steve.

That first example is scary. It's amazing how much can vanish after taxes.
