Thanks. Those are some good ideas. They kind of primed the pump and I'm thinking of things I can do and still be safe behind the wheel. Something you said got me thinking about what Buddhists call "monkey mind." Best way I know that works with that little devil is to tell him to shut up, as in "Shut up you little F!" I even have a little monkey in my truck as a reminder. Need to move him to a more visible place so I remember to tell him to shut up. Something else that's worked for me in the past was a grounding technique I learned to avoid dissociating. You pay attention what your senses are telling you. What do I feel under my feet? Hands? Behind, etc. Then what do I hear? What do I see? What do I smell?
Thanks for getting me started!  I'm off work this week, but keep these front and center in my brain when I go back to work.
