    BINGO! Don't ANYONE make fun of this post, this is the meltdown of society. Can you imagine, Bud is right, rather than do it the right way, he chose prison life instead of trucking. Can you imagine if this guy DID get his license? Rather than a deterrent, all this does is give others that failed the system, to get even, maybe the grocery store dude too. We won't have enough room for all these malcontents, that will take matters into their own hands. Apparently, prison beats living under a freeway ramp. Pretty sad folks.:biggrin_25513: I mean, look at the anger in this persons face, Oh sure, I can turn the power button off and go stare at my beautiful, snow capped mountain vistas, but I stay connected, just to see how bad it will get, and this is pretty bad.

    Depends if they find him insane and he goes mental hospital. Sometimes mental patients get released into the wild much sooner if they "no longer deemed a threat"

    "He has previous criminal charges going back to 1999, including criminal trespass, arson, and prohibited weapons..."

    And we just keep letting them out.

    It appears the denial of a CDL was the right call. Is pretty scary to know there's millions of 80,000 pounds trucks on the roadways and there's probably hundreds or thousands of drivers as unhinged as this guy

    I think a driver years ago in cali or somewhere out west tried to drive a truck into a courthouse. But the truck couldn't make it all the way up the steps. It may have been about child support or cdl denial, I cant remember.

    However people are trying to get into trucking as a last resort. After months of job searching from being laid off. Or having a now low paying job after inflation skyrocketing. But in similar fashion to the 07-10 recession. Some people are really starting to loose their minds. After they have lost the home, car, & etc.

    Yeah, that guy. His trainer said several times that his cornbread aint done in the middle, but would let trainer get rid of him. About a month into solo he tried to crash state capital in Sac. Cost Skunk Simon $10 mil or something like that
