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

In my training alone half of the accidents I saw were swift drivers

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.
