My Bad, A day or two later I had a phone interview with JB Hunt Safety Manager and my DM. They complemented me on the pictures I had taken and the speed I had sent them in. After speaking with her, she said that she would submit it as a non preventable and that I should be ok. She did say that she wants to see what the police report will say before anything is final. She did say that next time if I'm in that situation to leave at least two truck lengths between me and the truck in front of me. :thumbsup:

So, Now I'm waiting on that and waiting for the ax to drop if the report comes out against me. The report isn't ready for ten days from the date it was written. Dang, time flies just realized I can get it!:smokin:

Uhhh.... You know somethin I don't know?:bigthink:

Dropped the trailer at the customers in Laredo and ran to the terminal. I hooked the loaded trailer, started running northwest and made it to Van Horn last night. I took off this morning and ran 604 miles to Tonopah, AZ. I'm here at the TA and will head home. I should be home by noon tommorrow, If nuthin happens:roll3:....

I only have 17.25hrs left so I will have enough time this weekend to do a reset.

I've already checked the customer location and will have a 40mile drive to the drop. I'll get up early and see if I can beat some of the commuters to the 60/215 merge.

Quite a bit, moron.

A bit has happen since I posted last. I made the drop and hooked another trailer and ran it up to Denver where I dropped it. I hooked an empty trailer and ran it south towards a customer that I was suppose to load at 12:30 thursday afternon. I got as far as Walsenburg where I ended up in the ER.

I had stopped at this truck stop to grab some breakfast and then wait till 7am to call the customer since it was only 6am local time. While doing so I started not to feel good, after about 2hrs and getting sick a few times I made the call to JB Hunt and about 30min later to the ER.

I was brought in on a shuttle bus and taken into the ER. A Cat Scan was done and a 5mm kidney stone found.

Few hours later I was released and told to strain the urine and capture the stone. JB Hunt was a little miffed that I didn't make a call to them before I went to the hospital. When I was released JB faxed release forms to the DR who filled them out and then faxed back to them. Friday morning I still had not past this thing and received a call from JB that they were going to have to recover the truck and that I would have to get home or that I might want to stay in the hotel till sat morning. I choose to stay and then see what happens.

This morning I was told that nobody could recover the truck but that I still could not get into the truck since I had not past the stone yet and that the release was post dated and not valid. I would have to pass the stone and then get the doctor to sign another release.

So I now sit here till monday morning drinking tons of water. Oh and since all the pain killers wont work for DOT, I don't have them:tears:

I don't get the Osama/Obama thing. Anytime I hear that I think of that mentally challenged woman telling McCain that Obama was an Arab. It was one of the most pathetic moments of the Presidential Campaign.

So.... I was thinking about responding rudely to this guy but thought that there must have been a reason for him to be a jerk. It took me a few minutes and reading all the posts and then seeing that he had FIXED a comment that I had made. At first I had glancd over it and then when I reread everything again, I saw it.

If you didn't catch it, I'm pointing it out now that I made a mistake in typing out Obama as Osama in a joke refering to taxes being taken out to CA and the FED. That's all it was and no harm was intended.

End of politics.... there's enough of it on tv and cb.

Lets see what the reply will be....:whistle:

Actually Paul, pain killers are allowed, as long as they are DOCTOR prescribed, and you receive medical clearance to return to work after using them. Don't know who told you different.

As for the kidney stone.....Cranberry Juice along with the water. Grapefruit Juice works ok too! As for optional fluids...Corona with lime....Samuel Adams....Budweiser..MGD...all induce frequent urination.....though not doctor recommended!
