On a MUCH MUCH lighter note.
I'm a diabetic on oral meds and I noticed one thing. Bu let me give you the back story 1st.
I was diagnosed with diabetes about 6 years ago when I was 38. I took a 3 year sabbatical and went back to work a few months ago for Enterprise-Rent-A-Car, just for something to do.
Well, the exercise dropped my blood sugar to the point where I no longer take insulin. (I wash and deliver cars.)
My question is this: Since I DO NOT want to go back to insulin, will my trainer mind if I insist on scrubbing the outside of the truck, top to bottom, front and back every other day? (I'm serious about the exercise and doing this, however; I am presenting this question in a dry humor sort of way.)

"Scrubbing the outside of the truck, top to bottom, front and back every other day?"
You're all wet, both you and your trainer will have better things to do with your time. BOL

Drive reefer, lumper your own loads, park in the back of the lot and walk more, ( 2-3 miles per day) sweep your trailer out after every load, and do a complete pretrip everyday before you log miles (cleaning your glass and lights)....and you'll be doing just fine.
When you have any home time, go hunting or fishing, and/or become a Volunteer Firefighter.
I see some guys polish their aluminum too. That is always nice to see.

Sounds like the ticket - thanks for your suggestion. Looks like Swift is gonna have a least 1 shiny truck.

I even entertained this one in my head too. :P
What is a VTX 1800? is that some sort of MT.Bike ?
I hear you about polishing aluminum. I have yet to "stoop" to that myself. :lol: But sure is nice to see a rig with polished wheels. 8)

My step-grandfather rode motorcycles into his 60s. He always said that Harleys were the safest cycle in the world as they were in the shop 2/3 of the time.
