    Fatigued Driving

    DOT Physicals

    Sure glade I will be leaving this industry in the next 2 years. won't have to deal with the medical side of things..

    I know, but wasn't in position to do that at this time.... Sometimes things happen that are out of your control, for me this was one of those times. FYI.. I was just thinking a few weeks ago about whether to buy new or just put out 13 to 15 grand on new motor and transmission now this...
