I can't figure out how to make this work. Mods, if one of you can make this a clickable link, I would appreciate it. The forums keep telling me that it's not a valid URL.

The TT link generator is a bit picky. Here's a trick. (Don't tell Brett where you learned it.)
Make a Link with the title you want, but put something simple for the web address, like "www.Google.com". Press Submit.
Then you get the link business: < a href="Www.google.com">Sample Link Here>.
Now paste over the Google address with your desired one. (Be sure to leave those "quotes" in!) This doesn't work every time, but it should work for most addresses.
BMI:
Body mass index (BMI)
BMI is a formula that uses weight and height to estimate body fat. For most people, BMI provides a reasonable estimate of body fat. The BMI's biggest weakness is that it doesn't consider individual factors such as bone or muscle mass. BMI may:
- Underestimate body fat for older adults or other people with low muscle mass
- Overestimate body fat for people who are very muscular and physically fit
It's quite common, especially for men, to fall into the "overweight" category if you happen to be stronger than average. If you're pretty strong but in good shape then pay no attention.
HOS:
Hours Of Service
HOS refers to the logbook hours of service regulations.
Thanks Errol! And if you watch the video, can you explain what is going on? That's terrifying.

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong but the shifter on the left is the splitter, it does the same thing that the switch does on the trucks we drive.
That's what it was looking like to me. But I was also watching his feet. It didn't seem like he was using the clutch at all unless he was using the splitter.
That is the splitter. A while ago someone posted a video of a truck with three shifters! That's the only way I recognized it this time.
That's just craziness! Hahahaha! Glad I don't have to learn something like this! It seems unsafe to take his hands off the wheel like that.
And am I correct that he's not using his clutch?
One of my instructors showed me how to shift without using the clutch. You use the gas pedal and the gears. Gives a brake to your leg when you're shorter!
