Truck driver b.s.

I'm back at it today, moving truckloads of stuff from building to building on campus. I hope to get off early today, started at 6:30 and my belly is still full, lol.

 

Horse haul for me today. Dodge is hung up on FASS fuel filter replacement vacuum issues. Looks like we may be taking the Freightliner. Works better for me, more practice.

 

Still on vacation till Sunday night. It's going fast!

 

Mostly just catching up on shit I don't get to during work weeks. Fucked my back up earlier in the week moving furniture, 2 dentist appts, eye doctor, sleeping in. The joys of getting old...

 

Back to the same ol shit.

 

Easy day today, not to much stupid crap in front of me on the roads either.

 

Day 2.............

 

December the oneth, the year is winding down.
Happy humpday drivers, be safe.

 

Goodmorning, another easy day for me, can't go back to work till 1-8-22. Going to chase down a topper for the taco this afternoon, then maybe a set of 2015 aluminum 17" rims w/tires..

 

Question for any driver that got an exemption waiver for your eye that can’t pass test. I’ve been driving for 28 years and always borderline with the one eye, lazy eye born that way. Looking to apply for the exemption.

 

I think it's a form you fill out with the FMCSA. What you do from there I don't know.

 

License renewal or medical card?

 

Been wearing readers for years, finally had to get legit glasses. Couldn't read my weight rolling the scales.

 

I'm in bifocals now, hearing is about shot too. Barely passed last physical. Hearing aids are major expensive and not covered under my insurance.

 

It's friyay! Picked up my truck from the repair shop yesterday, no more smoke in the cab. They had it since the 4th week of October. Was also in for a pm and when I picked it up there was no grease on the hitch platten! I had to wait for them to grease it, seriously?
Be safe out there drivers.

 

Physical, I know it takes about 6 months to get a waiver. Just wondering if anyone ever been through the process is all. I know there’s talk from the fmcsa to do away with the process and make it easier, so you don’t have to wait.

 

I wish I could help on waivers, I do know now that they don't allow a waiver for A-Fib heart condition, not even a 3 or 6 month waiver to allow me time to figure it out and resolve

 

The outfit I work for contracts with an occupational health service for those things. Free if we use them, otherwise we have to pay for. Some guys at work have had better results going through their own physician instead.

 

The company I used to work for made it mandatory to use their provider which was fine untill they found a problem with me. Then It went to horrible, Bad communication and they seemed not able to let me know exactly what they needed from my doctors to resolve my condition.

 

Fucking assholes
