    I guess you missed this one, although it has been awhile. 2001 I think. A Dick Simon driver drove up the Steps of Sacramento's Capitol Building at 70mph. Not really all that relevant to your post I realize, but it tripped a memory.

    i was getting ready for school on the morning it happened. i lived an hour and a half south in a city called turlock. i've read reports over the years about the driver who did that. many drivers complained about that guy. many of those drivers were either fired or starved out for making those complaints. dick simon ignored them. well, ####, look what happened.

    I've seen other posts you've done. Like the one above! Quit acting like a total fool and spell and use proper grammar or just stop trying to get your post count up. We don't need someone acting like a complete fool!

    :biggrin_2559:

    I heard about Dick Simon and no more skunks on trucks on the first day of my truck driving course at Dekalb Technical College. What company ignores a trainer who says a trainee should be fired after just 90 minutes of interaction? Wouldn't that be unusual for a trainer to give up on a student so quickly? Just a terrible story that will stick with me forever.

    Yeap, and he was one of the reasons Dick Simon went bellyup and became one of Jerry's Kids.

    I'd say he made two major mistakes:

    1) YEARS too early

    2) The Whitehouse is in D.C.
