Trucking physically breaks humans. That's all I'm gonna say about it.

AMEN!
But there is no excuse for operating any motor vehicle while impaired on any substance. What a person does on their own time is their business.

I drove a truck while I was sh*tfaced drunk once.

At home on my own property.

We lit the bonfire, and the wind was zero. Then it picked up to about 5 mph, just enough to blow burning embers right at my two tinderbox barns.

So while my friend Matt was pulling the garden hose out in case we had to spray the corn crib, I hopped in the truck and moved it from the east edge of the property to the south so it would block the wind. It had the belly skirts on the trailer.

Then the wind died back down, and I felt the side of the trailer and it was hot as hell even though it was a good 30 feet from the fire, and one of the side marker lights was deformed. So I moved it again, repositioning it so it was still facing west but now it was about 60 feet from the fire instead of 30.

And then I propped a scrap of steel barn siding up against the reefer fuel tank.

See even when I'm sh*tfaced drunk I still think about things like radiant heat and wind direction, eddy currents, etc. I can't turn it off, ever.

Some things just become second nature to you when it's something that you live your life by. Sometimes it's force of habit, others it's CYA!
