A rock flung from the other side of the highway? Just big enough to smack off the glass, never be found again. Or it did come through and you found it but didn't make the connection?

Could a bird... Nah, suppose there would be some evidence of that.

Golf ball? Who's playing in December?

Stray pellet from shot gun blast? Maybe had enough velocity and small enough to be overlooked, or bounced off the glass. Similar to what you were saying about a bullet.

Do you have those wind wings, or whatever they're called, that wrap around the A pillar? Maybe caught a rock from the front and it was funnelled around and hit right near the front edge of the window? Probably bounced off in the process.

I was in a rural area of southern Wisconsin and the median is pretty wide where it happened so I doubt it could have been a rock that somehow came from the westbound lanes. I looked very carefully as I was cleaning up the glass but didn't find anything and I also don't have wings that could have funneled something. Whatever it was must have come at me at about a 45 degree angle, otherwise it would have hit the mirror before it could have hit the window. Hitting at an angle would also support the idea that whatever it was bounced out.

It was the last day of deer season in Wisconsin and I was traveling through a rural area.

WOW!

Did you look for a bullet or similar in the cab? Do you drive for Swift or Schneider? (Just kidding.)

I did look very carefully as I was cleaning it up but didn't find anything. Whatever struck the window must have ricochet out.

Sunday morning at about 10am I was driving eastbound on I94 about ten miles south of Wisconsin Dells. There wasn't much traffic and I was in the process of passing a slow moving box truck. So I'm in the left lane and as I'm about to pull back into the right lane, SMACK!!! My drivers side window just shatters. There was a hole about the size of a softball in the lower front, there was glass all over the floor and in my lap. The rest of the shattered glass was just kind of hanging in place. By the time I got pulled over at a rest area a little further up the road about half of the glass had fallen out.

I cleaned up the mess in my truck and removed the remaining glass from the window. I located a Menards about 15 miles further up the road where I bought a couple sheets of a plexiglass type material and was able to make a patchwork window with the plexiglass and a whole bunch of Gorilla tape which held up well until I got back home on Wednesday.

Other than a bullet, I can't think of anything else that could have caused this.

I transfered from warehouse to fleet through the cdl program with DollarG, passed the school easy, they told me I had to do 6 weeks of training before I could start on my own...then gave me another trainer and made it 8 weeks ... Then gave me ANOTHER trainer and made it 10 weeks... Then didnt tell me anything for a week until I went up there in person and then they told me that due to things going on in fleet and observations made by other drivers they didn't want me on team and said I could resign or see if I could get my job back in warehouse. I feel very wronged and have felt that way since week 7, did they do me wrong? Did they break contract? One of my trainers said I did good, I haven't told the other two because they were kinda *******s , thank you

What you need to do is to, very calmly, very professionally, and very humbly, go back "up there" and ask them to explain to you, specifically, what you did wrong. This is the only way you're going to get anything positive out of this experience. There is a reason why they don't want you on the team and for the sake of your career as a driver, you need to find out what that reason is, own it, correct it, and move forward.

This is the best advice I can give.

Week 2 of carnivore is now complete.

For my route this week I left home with 9 hard boiled eggs, 3 half pound cheeseburgers(no buns) and a full rack of ribs. I found that if I ate 2 eggs in the morning and another at about noon, this tied me over nicely until I ate supper around 7ish pm. I came home with one of the burgers and about a third of the ribs so I'm starting to figure out how much food I need to eat each day.

I feel great! I was anticipating experiencing some of the symptoms that people are describing but I haven't. I had a little bit of diarrhea the first week but that has cleared and I have not eaten a single carb in over a week. It seems like my body likes this diet and I have easily adapted to it.

Prior to starting carnivore I have always had allergy issues. Itchy/watery eyes, nasal congestion, skin rashes like dermatitis, etc... Over the past two weeks, ALL of these symptoms have disappeared. To me, after living with this my entire life(I'm 57), it almost feels miraculous to wake up in the morning with clear eyes and no congestion.

I'm sold!

I'll probably deviate every now and then(special occasions) but I'm a carnivore going forward.

...the world's population would instantly become way more healthy and we'd work together to figure out any challenges along the way.

It would be a glorious health revolution!

The "working together" part is already underway. It's called "lab grown meat". You wanna eat that crap?

My opinion is that those who care and want to find out for themselves will discover a better way to live. The rest(vast majority) who don't can live the way they do, get by, and remain blissfully unaware.

If everyone suddenly discovered how to eat properly, it would completely wreck those industries and a long list of heads would roll when society started asking questions.

Yet, who benefits financially from spreading the truth? Almost no one! Hell, I've lost several members of this website by promoting this way of eating and haven't made a nickel from it. It sent me in the wrong direction! You wind up getting attacked from every angle. So there's a huge profit incentive for industries to promote unhealthy eating and to keep us sick, but there's almost no way to counter that by profiting from telling people to eat meat and eggs.

The simple truth is that if everyone on Earth suddenly discovered that the carnivore diet was better for their health, the world would run out of protein sources in about a week. Seriously, this diet is not possible for 7+ billion people on our planet because Earth's carrying capacity for it doesn't even come close to accommodating that number.

My first week of "carnivore" is now under my belt.(literally)

I started a week ago with a ham, egg, and cheese omelette for breakfast and, heading the advice given in this thread about "weaning" off of carbs, a couple of slices of wheat toast. From there it's been pretty much eggs in the morning and a combination of steak, ribs, and different kinds of sausages in the evening. The transition seems to be going well with just a little bit of mild bathroom issues. The only carbs I've eaten have been a few slices of toast(total over the past week) with butter and I did eat a side of baked apples with my eggs and breakfast sausage yesterday morning.

What I can say about this after a week is that I have experienced something that I never thought was even possible. I have suffered from allergies since before I can remember. I get strong allergic reactions to things like certain types of animal dander and molds. I also have chronic itchy/watery eyes and nasal congestion from what I have always been told was seasonal/pollen related.

My eyes and nose have been completely clear for the past 4 or 5 days. I have never in my life not had to deal with this. What I was always told was a reaction to outside environmental factors, I think I can already say, conclusively, was an issue with the food I was eating. Most likely gluten.

My energy and focus, while never any kind of real problem for me, seems better and sharper. I haven't had that mid afternoon drowsiness that I used to get. I run a dedicated route where I leave early Sunday and get home early Wednesday. Not once on this run did I feel drowsy at all.

The results thus far seem incredible. I's going to take me a little while to figure out how much and when I need to eat, and I also have to work in a fasting day, but I'm going to stick with it.

It's not that difficult to figure out why "powerful forces" seek to discredit this diet and dismiss it's seemingly glowing results.

Take a look at what Wiki has to say about it...Carnivore Diet

"Fad diet", "pseudoscience", etc... and then in the last paragraph the source of the bias is revealed.

"Criticism also derives from concerns about greenhouse gas emissions associated with large-scale livestock farming required to produce meats commercially, and the potential for such emissions to worsen climate change (see environmental impact of meat production).[12][14][15]".

LOL!!! This revelation alone is enough for me to give it a go.

I'm going to give this diet an honest effort. Although I'm in pretty good shape and relatively lean, I've got a few health issues like allergies and skin rashes that I'm curious to see if going carnivore has any impact on. I've been on strictly meat and eggs with just a couple of slices of wheat toast for the past four days and I can already notice that I have had a significant reduction in gas and bloating.

I'll update the thread as I go along.

Unfortunately I’m a regristered sex offender. I was 20 years old got caught up. 30+ years after the fact it seems impossible to get a job truck driving behind this. I have read other peoples stories in similar situation and learning not to take it personal . I also have an assault on a police officer charge back in 2009, I didn’t hit him or anything but like when people see this charge they don’t want to hear your story. I was under the influence of drugs, been clean for four years now changed my life, relocated to a whole new state and am committed to my recovery and church. Truck driving school was challenging many didn’t take me because of my charge but AllState Career School did and I truly believe God open the doors to gain my commercial cdl class A in which I did. I been working at ShopRite for the lady 4 years and have proven to be a person they can trust and reliable. My pastor says some one will give me a chance he didn’t bring me this far to abandon me now can anyone please help. Oh fyi tge girl of my past brother is a police officer so that doesn’t help fyi.

If relocation isn't an issue, you could apply here... Manion's

It's a hard job with some damn long days(not all days) but it pays pretty well and it's a legit opportunity to get some miles under your belt. I worked there for about 6 months right out of 160 Driving Academy.
