Will I Learn Everything About Every Control Inside A Truck?

I think as a 53-year-old man I am as fit as any woman driver in her 50's. I am now 282 pounds, 5-10

Oscar, you will be glad to know that this is my last response to any of your posts. I'm sure you are thinking "good riddance."

It is bad enough that the good folks in here are beating their heads against the wall with you. They have given you countless links to study and learn from, and I can't see any evidence that you have ever looked at any of it. The places you quote from where you are supposedly learning from are not helping you at all.

Now you have got to throw in a sexist remark about your pathetic physique as if even though it is bad, it is as good or better than any woman driver in her 50's!

You are nuts! There I went ahead and said it, and you make it more clear with each conversation you start in here.

The folks in here have been more than patient with you. I haven't, and that is very unusual for me. I guess I just spotted you a long time ago and had no illusions of your seriousness in this pursuit. I get the feeling that you are all over the internet looking into all kinds of careers. Unwilling to make the sacrifices to actually get started in any of them, and more than happy to let the hard working tax payers support you while you make a pretense of interest in getting to work.

I best learn by DOING, sir!

Should I first get a medical opinion from my doctor about whether trucking is an acceptable line of work for me?

What should I tell my DOCTOR about the possible physical working conditions of American CDL truck driving?

Maybe he might refer me to an occupational specialist to get a more accurate answer.

Might doctor might say something like lose 50 more pounds then ask me for an opinion again.

Ok, I am willing to do that.

Heat sensitivity is most likely attributed to obesity anyway.

Does anybody here think I should wait til I am under 200 pounds before seriously giving trucking a go?

Oscar, sorry I'm done. Each and ever piece of information I and others have given you has been dismissed, debated, and downplayed. You keep changing your story to align with and support your come back.

Not going to waste my time anymore.

Good luck.

Hello all Im Chris from Florida and Ive been lurking in the background reading for a few months now. I personally would like to thank you Oscar for motivating me to finally post or reply in this case. Anyways just wanted you to know that I'm with G Town and Old School I'm done too. Are you really even serious or are you just pulling peoples legs trying to get a response? I've been following you for a while now for the entertainment value but I'm really starting to get a headache. Other than that to Brett what a wonderful website and to all the moderators thank you for all the information. Everything has been beyond valuable and I believe it will help me greatly in the future. Looking forward to sponging up all of your thoughts and ideas as I get closer to my own adventure. Thank you all. P.S. I need a cool handle!

One more thing, after some thought I would like you all to know that I regret hijacking Oscar Grahm The 3rd's thread to introduce myself. I'm at work now but when I have a chance I will start my own post as soon as possible with a little info about myself and what I've learned from all you knowledgeable people so far. Thanks

You do sound like a 16 yr old not a 53 yr old man sorry just my opinion

You guys quit too easy :)

OK, I'm bored, and it was mildly entertaining. We didn't even get to winter fun yet. Chaining up in slush, pushing a couple thousand lbs of half melted snow, slush, ice mix off the top of a trailer with nothing more than a roof rake. (Amazing how rare those roof scrapers are at yards)

Oh well. Think we've all got a good idea of what was going on. Out of the ones I can remember since last Sept, think he's top 5 material.

Ok, I am throwing in the towel here myself at this website. I think this site is just a bunch of bogus junk. Goodbye, adios and may you all get a flat on the inside dual when it is 125 degrees or below zero outside with a wind chill of - 35. I am tired of being treated like a criminal here.

PS - Changing what story? You did not cite an example, Mr. I don't appreciate being called a liar. I am NOT a politician.

More condescending attitudes here, Mr. Moderator.

Oscar, you will be glad to know that this is my last response to any of your posts. I'm sure you are thinking "good riddance."

Now I'm gonna have to find another way to entertain myself as I wind down for the night .... sigh.

You two really had some chemistry.
