We were there last week, not this week!!

Proper "forced whisper test" proceedure: Forced Whisper Test A hearing aid may be worn while testing. When a hearing aid is used to qualify, the hearing aid must be worn while driving. The testing area should be free from noise that could interfere with a valid test. Measure and mark...

As far as I can find out, NO state restricts deaf people from driving. Michigan allows it. So does PA, MD and SC. Those are the state I held drivers licenses in. As far as I can find out there are NO restrictions on deaf driving other than mirrors. I prove I am capable every day.

Since when can you NOT have a drivers license if you are deaf? Never HEARD that one!! :p (at least I can still laugh at it) You cannot fire a deaf person on the loading dock. Read the regs on the "forced whisper" test. They don't "give" you that, like they should, they just "pass" you if...

Well, you are tested every time. They assume you passed a "forced whisper" test if you can answer every day questions. NOT the right way to do it but it is done that way. I was "tested" in a hearing box one year, failed, passed with hearing aids. Had those on my med card for one year. Now I pass...

Tinitus and deafness CAUSED by military and or government service is NOT either. The sorry no good for nuthin sons of bean pickers!! They use you up and toss you in the junk heap. I wonder what they would do to industry on the same issue? Bet they would be all over them like white on snow, black...

What happens when I finally go deaf? (still a few years down the road but it is coming) Why is it unfortunate that the ADA does apply? Many ex-military who lost legs or arms can drive a truck. There is AT LEAST one military guy (army) missing a natural leg that is now BACK in combat!!

Our BEST paying load EVER was a REALLY short load. It went ALMOST 3 miles and paid OVER $2000!! Too bad we can't do that 2 or 3 days a week, week in and week out, eh?

Can you cite that case? Post a link? Every thing that I have read (not official) said that ADA does not apply to trucking. Like hearing loss etc. I would like to know more.

No, that thread is in the soapbox. About GPS tracking. :p

Our rotten, no good for nothing atty general has already stated that the Feds will AGAIN IGNORE states rights and enforce federal drug laws. None of which make as much sense as prohibition did. Works about as well too. Dang gum fools. You have to wonder what big money is behind that stupidity...

I have the APU set for 12 volts. I have NOT checked it to see if it is right. I would like to see what a set of AGM's would do on my house bank. Bet it would do better than those Interstates do. I will have to look into that other stuff. I do have a charger at the house that runs a desulfate...

That would make sense IF a DOT exam was based on some kind of medical FACTS. The NEW ideas, neck size, BMI , apnea etc are NOT proven by ANY recognized medical testing standards. No peer reviewed studies, no unbaised (if that is possible) experiments. Just special interest groups running...

My APU will start when the batteries get low and stop when they are full. I don't know about what happens when the big engine is running. I have been getting 3 years out of a set of rather cheap (if there is such a thing) these days, Interstate hybrid no water wet cells. I have Alliance wet cell...

Yeah, Mao, what difference does it make? They are DISGUSTING sub-humans and sterilaztion is NOT the answer. The Death Penalty is. For him and the so called "mothers" Being a "mother " is NOT just giving birth to a person. "Mother" is also, and more importantly, a VERB!! Just kill 'em. I have...

Yeah, that is what the engineers at Dual Pro said. I want to put AGM's on my house bank and wet on my starters. I don't THINK that AGM's are as needed on starters as they are on the deep cycle side. Charging is the KEY to battery life and performance. A good charger can do WONDERS for a less...

Yeah, but that idea is just TOO HITLER. There is NO such things as "reproductive rights" that is just a smoke screen for killing unborn babies. The problem is so called parents NOT putting their children FIRST in their lives. Jobs, house, multiple cars, jet skis etc etc are MORE important than...

Science, proof etc are NOT needed. It is all about getting lower wage drivers in the seats. Safety of the motoring public or the trucking public is NOT an issue. ONLY the bottom line.
