    Fridays at the Pentagon

    And what happens to these men and their families and thousands like them after Friday ? Where were all those applauding them when they were mistreated at Walter Reed ? Our veterans will never get adequate recognition or compensation for their sacrifice .

    After reading posts by Bambam on another forum I tried to advise members of something she disclosed there but my post was deleted . May I say anyone who had contact with her should get a blood test and NOT for DNA ?

    Tractor/Trailer vs Straight??

    I've seen many D units on class 8 chassis . These will last as long as any tractor . The use of pup trailers has come up before and I'm surprised there are not more of them . A 32' pup is much easier to manuever than a 24' straight truck . If a tractor is disabled a new power unit can take the...

    Anybody having problems with blood pressure ?

    That's why I bought a monitor with software to keep a daily record . It seems it takes more accurate readings on the right arm but it has you put the cuff on the right arm opposite the way you do on the left . On the left arm they have you line up a blue line with your middle finger . On the...

    teaming up male or female

    Then you have to figure home time . Different families - different anniversaries , birthdays , graduations , etc. Not always a problem but make sure agreements are made beforehand . How are pay and taxes figured ? If you own the truck and hire a codriver I don't see how you could avoid calling...

    Anybody having problems with blood pressure ?

    Thanks for all the info , especially on the water . Since they usually take a drug test with the physical I loaded up with water to avoid delays which probably cause stress and increase my BP . I never have smoked and avoid sodium as much as I can . I went on a Monday morning after being home...

    Anybody having problems with blood pressure ?

    I appreciate the help . I went to the site recommended and already received a response which said the monitor readings are doubtful . You know how it is trying to make doctor's appointments though . I usually get in town and ask if they've had any cancellations in the next day or 2 .

    teaming up male or female

    Better get some opinions on this . Most teams are husband and wife so the " more money " goes to one household . Teams do not make twice as much as solos . I'm not familiar with anyone running under the circumstances you are considering so I'll let others more qualified respond . Will you be the...

    Anybody having problems with blood pressure ?

    Mine blood pressure was always fine until a couple of years ago when it was 145/90 during a DOT physical . I was put on 10 mg Lisinopril and that worked fine (I switched pharmacies when Walgreens started using a supplier in India that was recently approved by FDA ) . My latest physical a month...

    The 67%

    I wonder how many of those 67% are truck drivers tired of having their "freedom" regulated by groups like Public Citizen telling them how much rest they need and how many hours they can work . Claybrook of Public Citizen also told women and children they needed passenger side airbags . How many...
