Your perseverence is admirable, man. congrats!

There were a couple names mentioned here that might be worth getting a hold of.

Too much ego, not enough Zen.

So not for super truckers to shower with then.

Oh wait.

From experience, Optical, you'll get suggestions for everything from ball-peen hammers (my favorite) to WD-40 to steel wool.

What's the steel wool for?

Except if you look at the research it doesn't do any of that. All the studies I've seen is that it just reduces the severity if you do end up getting it.

The studies that are starting to come in are showing a 60% to 80% to 90% decrease in asymptomatic infections in people who are vaccinated, and a clear reduction in viral load in the smaller amount of vaccinated people who do develop a symptomatic infection. The logic and the odds are the vaccine lessens the chances of transmission.

I agree with you Scott....the china virus has less than 1% chance of fatality and the shot has well over 65%

528 million people have been vaccinated so far which means well over 343 million people are now dead.

I got the first Pfizer shot last week. Even if my immune system could most likely protect my body from becoming too sick, I'd like to prevent being able to transmit the virus to someone whose immune system couldn't protect them. Each time the virus enters a new host is also a new chance for it to mutate into a more deadly form.

By the way, what treatment do you guys suggest for this situation? I know that only a doctor can diagnose such issues but I also believe in psychotherapy treatment.

Plan A goals are to come back stateside within a year and run OTR 1-3 years as a foundation for buying a house and starting a family, if she's lost it enough to have me. After that go local or maybe regional flatbed, look into passive investments, buy land up in Alaska. Be healthy and squeeze all the meaning and love out of every moment.

Flaunting his lifestyle would actually mean the trainer would be trying to get attention by talking about his attraction to men, his romances and sexual encounters with them, etc. Instead the trainer simply has his own personality.

Changing lanes in congested city traffic is currently my biggest worry about trucking. Logistically speaking I don't believe it's actually possible.

Hope this helps.

All of your programs appear to be UK-oriented topics geared towards a UK audience, can you clarify why you aren't seeking UK truck drivers?

14. speed traps and corrupt law enforcement in hick towns

This one shouldn't be on here because it is easily avoided. The JJ Keller manual outlines a four-step process for the driver to follow if Ol'Smokey's got them ears on:

1. Dodge 'em.

2. Duck 'em.

3. Keep the diesel truckin'.

4. Put that hammer down and give it hell.

* Perform the steps in reverse order if west bound.

You can get notarized statements from people saying you had spent this time doing this, too.

A higher gear sends less power to the wheels, reducing the chance of breaking traction.

Should it be kept in a higher gear than normal for the whole drive then, or only when starting? How do grades fit in?

Zach,

If it didn't work out at Western it won't work out SWIFT

You're telling yourself that, but you don't know it. My guess is you're telling yourself this to protect yourself from bad experiences and bad feelings. You're going to have bad experiences and bad feelings no matter what you do in life. You already know you already can do a lot of what the job requires you to do. The most important stuff. And you already know the things it requires that you're struggling with. You're obviously not messed up enough as a person to not be able to learn more than you've already learned. You're just struggling like everyone else. You just gotta dig deeper if you want this, and obviously you've got deeper. Anyways I'd say the odds are very likely a different DM is going to be at least 10% more decent to work with, right?

So it's okay to use the low jake brakes in the snow on grades? I'd understood there'd be problems with traction in rain and snow and ice, is there another piece of the puzzle to how it works?

Hey Zach, how much you want something + how motivated you are to pursue it x how open you are to challenging yourself to grow beyond your previous limitations = if it's for you.

When Rick said "sorry, couldn't help myself", he was probably speaking for the way his mind picked up on how the word came up twice like that with such different meanings. The mind invariably does that kind of thing and it's common to feel compelled to share that kind of observation while excusing oneself for it, "if you'll pardon the pun, etc." In this instance it touched on a sensitive issue, but it seems clear he wasn't trying to be snide or that he was aware of how it may be received but went ahead and did it anyway.
