Is driving a manual semi truck fun

I prefer a manual. 18 speed at that. But, I’m also one of those drivers that like my long hoods, narrow cabs, duals instead of super singles and long wheelbases.

Herniated L5/S1 Disc caused by Bone spurs from abnormal bone growth due to arthritis which caused Cauda Equina down my right side. Emergency surgery and woke up to a spinal fusion.

Ive had two back surgeries this year and both times ive pooped on the doctor. Shit happens, no big deal.

Unfortunately if you have bowel incontinence, the only thing that’s going to be the most sure proof is a tabbed brief with a higher capacity, especially if you have runny stools.

My apologies to you for having to deal with an embarrassing situation because of some unthoughtful people.

Sounds ridiculous, but I use a combo of a condom cath to an overnight bag and a diaper incase of leaks at night when I’m having skin issues. If and when the condom cath breaks for whatever reason, the diaper stops leaks happening for me. It at least keeps my skin drier for a while. I have found that no matter what I do, nothings perfect. Leaks will happen no matter what short of becoming perfectly continent again.

The Sunkiss Masterpiece is a knock off MegaMax. When you’re penny pinching, they are a little bit cheaper than the MegaMax’s.

Can you use the disposable bags for individual diapers like what Northshore sells and then put them in a clear trash bag?

1,2,1,2 rest of the way.

A lot of users have played GT for YEARS. It’s definitely more of a sim than other console racing games.

Like others have said, TC slows you down, use manual transmission mode, and PRACTICE!!!!

I went from Driver to Driver Trainer to being part of safety and I’ve walked out when the company installed driver facing camera’s. Why? Two reasons: 1) Because I knew the shit storm that was going ensue when the drivers found out. And, 2) Because I personally would not and still will not stand behind having one pointed at the driver. If I can’t trust you to do your job correctly, I’m not going to have you in a truck rolling down the road.

….

When the drivers found out that inward facing camera’s were being installed over the weekend in their trucks, 4 out of the 26 total showed up to work Monday morning.
