Ditto what Steerbum said. Three accidents in a year? C'mon...

It's probably time to look elsewhere for a career.

My friend, sorry to be harsh but driving a large vehicle is clearly not your cup of tea.

You're toast far as truck driving is concerned.

I refuse to believe he was serious. No one is that stupid.

Would you care to put money on that statement?

Are you trying to suggest that's not a good thang?
I'm thinkin' there are a LOT of folks who would appreciate being paid a
decent wage while in a seated position.
And if anyone is sittin' on their hand(s), they probably don't use their
hand(s) to perform the duties required of them.

I tend to think that in Big Joe's case, he's paid bigbux for the use of his
brain. Paid to think. From there, it's turned over to a worker.
Now, a worker doesn't have much practice just sittin' on their hands because they have to hussle all day, everyday. And they're not always encouraged to do any thinkin', --- so they don't really need to sit down anyway.

I can imagine the difficulty a worker encounters, tryin' to comprehend someone being paid for their knowledge instead of their sweat, while some are born to think and well understand how much farther thinkin' can take them,

I'm not implying that thinkin' is always easy.
NopE!
Often it's harder and carries more responsibilities and pressures than the average, satisfied worker could even begin to imagine.
But does it really matter if they understand anyway? Some people are born to sweat and there's no shame in that. It takes sweat, sometimes, to bring a thinker's thoughts to fruition.
It's the workers who make that possible,
I think.

Right-o Mr. Blacksheepdawg!

Work smart not hard is my motto...and get paid handsomely for doing it.

Its twue!
Its twue!

I have had more time on my hands than usual...but I can afford to. They needed a special man for a special job...they looked until they found...Big Joe.

Got a little run to Key West they said...get that piece off and drop your trailer at the base...pick it up the next day...loaded with Navy stuff goin' back north. So while the non thinkers are sweating laboriously I'm on a snorkel cruise out on the reef...in November even! When I got back I did the Duval crawl thing had a nice dinner and went back to the hotel...and getting paid for all this.

Back up on the coast of Virginny now..They say they gotta another piece back to Key West...well OK...Got a little backlash from Ida this time but thats OK...what did Lynn Anderson say? Along with the sunshine there has to be a little rain sometime?

No biggie!
