Told me.
Told everyone he meets at truck stops.
Told the Texas immigration officer.
Told the CAT scale operator.
Told the customer.
Told the yard dog.
Told the waitress at iron skillet...
So far he seems to drive well enough but exhibits exaggerated anger (profanity, throwing gloves, etc) if he has to connect or disconnect from a trailer...
It's weird but doesn't seem dangerous, yet.
Should I say something before something happens or just see how it plays out?
Is this him looking for help or just a symptom of his condition?
I am worried about mentioning it to the DM as it could be a legally protected status.
Is this just a personality quirk I can safely ignore forever?
Teammate tells everyone he has autism...

aren't you the guy waiting to hear back if you can blindside into a dock? Are you a trainer?
thaistick, driverdriver, Lepton1 and 3 others Thank this. -
If you are worried, I would just stick to something that isn't in a "protected class" such as the profanity laced rage fits....Take that to a higher up and at minimum, ask for someone else.
Things may get worse as he gets more comfortable with you. Things may not.
Personally, I think trucking is already a stressful enough job that I really wouldn't want to find out. That's just me.TequilaSunrise and singlescrewshaker Thank this. -
I am a second seat codriver not a trainer. -
Maybe I'm autistic? I now wonder?
Swearing like a trucker is normal. But that young guy needs to figure if he can stick it out, or walk away.Lepton1 and WiggleWagon Thank this. -
Lmao, this situation at England is getting better and better. How much of a fit did he throw when you just sat at that shipper for 15+ hours because of not blindside backing?
-
He never got mad at me as we were both taught never to even attempt a blindside in their trucks. He had a handful of politically incorrect suggestion regarding language barriers, however. -
I still wonder if I'm autistic?James122 Thanks this. -
fargonaz, Lepton1, Texas_hwy_287 and 2 others Thank this. -
People that throw things tell me they are not in control of themselves. I would have a hard time passing him. Lack of mental discipline.
Lab work Thanks this.
