did you take your test on it??
No I test for my license on a 10 speed
So I can drive one but this is the one the company gave me
the salesman here said if you take a test on an automated, you can't drive a standard
This is true
oh, really?? that wasn't the law in '10 when I took mine
They will put a restriction on your license
I mean I took mine on an 18 speed, but there was no restriction back then. That must be pretty new
I wouldn't know how new it is but the school I attended did no testing of any kind on automatics
They only test people on them for disabilities and the like
And the MVD has to do it
DOT
if I had that restriction when I got mine, i'd be screwed... I was a mechanic, and I had no idea what I'd be getting in and driving from day to day
Well as long as you test on a standard you would be fine
I think I just sold something to one of your owner/operators
I work for Eagle KMC under contract with werner
oh...I thought you were a swiftie
nevermind
Oh hell no
I do know a werner driver though, too. A guy I grew up with
well, that's a number's game, too
Swift is the biggest trucking company in the country...of course they'd have the most accidents
I know it's still a good joke to have
it is
oh, my call is coming up
or rather...video
Werner is pretty bad too every terminal I drive into has damaged tractors and trailers
doesn't surprise me
you should come drive for Marten
My plan in the long run is actually to move up north at some point so I need to find a company that will allow me to do that I can't see myself doing the over the road thing forever that was quite apparent to me when I started training
are you familiar with Marten Transportation??
Sorry had to check something only seen the trucks and talked to a driver briefly
That would be a good company to get into if you wanted to move up north and wanted a nice transition job. They're based in my home county
It's a really nice rural county, and Eau Claire and the Twin Cities are close, so you could easily look for work on your days off
if my company acquires the dealership i'm trying to talk them into, I could even consider you for a job+
@Matt Christiansen you were righter than you think, by the way
Where is that Asian I don’t give a fuck from?
They linked it on the Sunday show description
I'm gonna miss listening live tonight for the first time in over a year...
@Saint there is a company an hour west of Chicago, that does trucking for concerts. Upstaging. Straight forward loads most of the time. Usually city to city when on tour but some routes are long haul. They own there own trucks and trailers, even a mechanic department. If you want to live up north maybe it's something to check out.
