It sounds more like food poisoning, Reaper. You got a bad clam. And there's a thread about apple cider vinegar and acid reflux. If someone can direct him to it.

Yeah I read that thread and I had no vinegar around. I definitely agree with food poisoning.

I once had a toothache that was getting unbearable. After a couple weeks of dealing with the pain I made the decision to find a way to get to a hospital. I was empty and was going to reload in Salt Lake City in the morning. I called the Hospital in Tremonton In the middle of the night and asked if there was anywhere a Truck could park. They said yes the parking lot was nearly empty at this hour and was given the ok to park there.

It was perfect, small town in the middle of the night, very good experience. Even the wait in the emergency room wasn't long. Got my antibiotics and was on my way. Of course I refused the pain meds. They even told me where I could get the prescription filled that was truck friendly.

Sometimes you just have to get creative out here. I didn't have to go out of route or lose any time. I waited for a load with enough time I could get it done without effecting my job.

On a side note, don't eat anything that could mess with your stomach if you can help it. That's my worst fear, having a load with no time to spare yet having to make several emergency bathroom stops.
