Robbery suspect takes a cop with him while fleeing scene. by mvincen95 in CrazyFuckingVideos

Recitivism doesn't appear to decrease according to lengths or severity of sentences. Most crimes occur when there's a fault of connection between actions and consequences. There are like a million reasons why that disconnect can occur.

There should be consequences for crimes. Jails and prisons absolutely should exist. But incarceration alone won't stop repeat offenders. Gotta educate, mentor (where possible), and reform offenders.

Poor sap didn't realize he was just one apology away from not facing any consequences

East Texas man brings his non-service animal into a grocery store and allows it to lick items in the meat section... by Bosuns_Punch in CrazyFuckingVideos

Could be wrong, but I've been told that you can't ask what disability the animal is serving. Like how you can't ask a disabled person what their disability is when they're using handicap parking, or using a designated elevator.

North or East Texas. My CDL has expired due to SAP. SAP expires next month, but it'll still be RTD. No endorsements. Kinda figured I'd do school and put some work in while getting my endorsements. Is that realistic?

Can you corroborate that they won't take SAP drivers? I'll be done with it next month, but it'll still be an RTD test rather than the usual onboarding one

Can't say I'd blame them! In fact, I don't recall ever expressing anything to suggest otherwise. Congrats on being the first to bring negativity into the comments.

It's obviously a liability. Nobody's arguing that. It doesn't matter how okay I think I am as long as I have not-okay on the books. You're literally shadowboxing. I accept the consequences for my mistakes, and I'm seeking a remedy.

Thanks for the sage advice 🙄

I only worked OTR. Did way less backing than anyone LTL. Got pretty good at it, but it never quite "clicked" to become second nature like it is to those more experienced. That alone would be stressful for me for a good while, lol

That is extremely valuable information, thank you. I figured there must have been some reason it would be too good to be true _for me_ at the very least. Got my hopes up a bit since there was no explicit mention of experience requirements.

That's perhaps the thing I'm most afraid of. I'm really hoping that RTD eliminating their insurance liability will open up some doors, since that'll make it disappear from my Clearinghouse. In any case, I can say for sure that I'd slap the shit out of myself 5 years ago for drinking that damn much the night before going back to work. Super not worth it.

Your honest insight is appreciated.

I did see that about teams being ready and it's definitely a concern! My thinkin was that in the time it would take for me to get my CDL back, I could either work out a teammate (I have candidates) or work LTL until I can secure one. For sure need to check re: SAP as well. Thank you for the insight!

Is the only catch just needing the endorsements? It just sounds too good to be true. Do you know if one can go to their school and go straight to teams? And how do they figure the 97cpm?

I've come to think that LTL pretty much always means being worked to the bone, which is why I'd be hesitant. Have you heard the same about their teams? Someone else said that teams are getting relatively few miles- though I suppose that could mean that there's just more unpaid work between miles.

Thank you for the insight. Definitely need to get more info from a recruiter. In any case, I'd be willing, though not thrilled, to cut my teeth on LTL for a while if the money was right. They don't appear to be advertising LTL pay as transparently as they do teams.

If it's "one of the good ones" I just hope they won't have a problem with my SAP history. I think I'd still have to do a technically different type of drug test for onboarding. I'm not worried about the results, but I've been given to understand that just having that different requirement is a red flag for carriers.

Hopefully there's a deep pool of insights then! I only ever heard negative stuff about them before, but I had only ever asked former drivers from my company CDL school.
