This part, right here. In my new truck, I hear something go off, and am confused looking for WTF error I did! Distractions are bad. Trying to figure out what that noise was and or meant, means I'm not focusing on my driving.

Just because it's a fancy bell and whistle and you CAN do it, doesn't mean you SHOULD do it.

Id gladly rip out all the babysitters as well. I had my "AI" camera lose my seatbelt between my boobs 5 times in 20 minutes. I actually got a phone call, asking me wtf was going on. Oh, I don't know. The programming thinks women don't have boobs.

If they put as much money in good oke fashion training for drivers as they do that junk we would have better drivers.

You come up in here expecting sympathy from drivers who are out here doing this job clean, and correctly. Then you have the audacity to get ****y because nobody is blowing sunshine up your @ss to tell you what you want to hear?

Fact: you may be "clear" by PA, but ask yourself, why would a company hire you, when the cost to insure a newbie is already insane, then add in that it's a SAP driver? Sorry buddy, you are facing an uphill battle.

Perhaps you should stop and consider why EVERYONE has the same reaction.

Many people do things that kill their career, without fully grasping what they have done. This isn't your friend's fault, this isn't your former companies fault. This isn't "the industry's" fault. This lies squarely on you. You were going for a career in a safety critical field, and made a choice that bit you hard. Seek a career elsewhere.

All I have to say is:

Ahahahahahahahahahahaaaaa

You're kidding, right?

To be perfectly honest with you, you have killed your career, and I'm happy for it.

Your first instinct to celebrate, was to use a prohibited substance? Nope. We don't need you in the industry. Our jobs are dangerous enough as it is, without out adding in a chucklef@#k that can't celebrate without prohibited substances. It severely calls your judgment into question.

Yep, I'm putting on my flame resistant pants for this one.

At a guess, there was nothing wrong with the idle feature, as usually mega carriers have it set to not idle when ambient temps are 30-80 degrees. To give the APU a shot at keeping it cool, you HAVE to use the curtains, and in my case, I also used the quilted window covers, and fans to move air. (Simple USB powered from Amazon)

In short, they checked it over, found no actual fault. Instead of asking questions and communicating, you made a rash decision, of going unauthorized empty 200 miles (sooooo, how much did that cost, at 9mpg, humm?) and quit. Now you are Surprised Pikachu face that they had something to say about it?

Isn't there one extra section from tx though? I can't specifically remember which, it's been a minute!

I don't see the issue with requiring a doubles/triples endorsement.

It's just a quick computer test. Have you actually seen your company with the equipment needed to build a set? It may be entirely a checklist item, that they want to use in their negotiating position.

For instance:

"90 percent of our fleet have TWIC and Passports".

The hidden meaning? Our drivers can pass the homeland security background check for TWIC and can legally leave the country. But saying "none of our drivers are criminals" would be frowned upon and hurt someone's feelings

Montana wouldn't allow you to even take the permit test without a valid med card, so you may not even have the option.

Of the two, I'd say Wilson. However that is wholly dependant on gut feeling, and not knowing anything current about May. Keep in mind, some of Wilson's fleet hauls Prime trailers, and has access to our facilities and drop yards while under Prime loads. SOME of their drivers park at our main terminal sometimes, even with their brand new facility 10 miles away.
