Banned from DDS in sun Prairie, wi

Good info, very informative post.

 

So you were banned from there 22 years ago? Have you tried to go back?

 

Now this is a post.

I appreciate the information. Sometimes death tends to bury a problem as it has done for me when specific company officers die off and literally bury my own bans, firing and stories or black listing. Sometimes Companies die off through many faults such as illegal multi paper logging etc. And when they go poof, it gets easier to hire on to other companies because the real problems that some of those dead companies firing or black listing me for no longer is a barrier to employment.

It is unfortunate to have to get SS records of life time wages paid so you can prove that yes you worked at such a such a outfit no longer in business and support your claim for the three, seven and ten year gaps in employment history plus reasons why you did not have a job. Company went out of business. There is nothing left for a prospective employer to call.

one day my own driving school on haven street in baltimore themselves closed right up.

Rebirth of DIA as NATS Baltimore and history.

About NATS

I still possess the diploma, road test card and written exam card needed for road testing with the Class A permit in those days out of the Haven Street location. I also possess a few pictures of the transtar 73 we used for testing and road mountain work.

In my entire lifetime from 21 on to the mid 50's NOT one has ever asked for the diploma. And I found it interesting that one employer did not care to hire me on having trained me in the same school class room. I suppose being deaf had something to do with it. But they were careful not to bring it up in a formal employment situation even though it was most certainly a subject 4 instructors (The entire DIA staff) brought up with me because all 21 students had concerns with me. SO I had to educate many people about the deaf culture, then the hearing impairment then intergrate with the public wearing hearing aids the same as people wear glasses, it's no big deal.

There is one instructor who understood me very well. There were times I hear his voice from the empty passenger seat in my cab in times of mountain storms out west such as St Georges UTah in two feet of snow and raging blizzard non stop barefoot, no chains. I hear his voice roaring at me using my last name as a military style call out followed by a very pointed question about a problem. Such as why are your #### drives spinning in this #### snow, Whats matta wid ya? Followed by a punch or slap. (Today's snowflakes call it abuse, I call it focusing students like myself who need it)

My wife came out of the bunk and said who you talking to so and so (Instructor name) I explained to her about that certain instructor from trucking school. She understood. Some people never leave you. He's probably dead and gone by now I imagine.

Another Instructor, taught God how to use the mountains for trucking purposes. God built it But this instructor, the top dog taught everyone including God how to drive. And how. That man did things with a 18 wheeler that I was eventually in time able to copy. But if I had been caught doing these things with a 18 wheeler by the company boss, I would not be fired but shot. Then hung on a cross.

One instructor delivered gasoline to my gas station that I worked at for some years after cooking my Class A with too many tickets That time off the road was not too good for me because all i could think of was passing the three years needed to discharge all those tickets (My fault) enough to become hireable. I managed to get into dumptruck work and other trucking things again so that worked out very well in the end. Without getting into detail Maryland was no longer a home for me and Arkansas has been more than good for that purpose.

Another instructor worked out of Blue Diamond, Pulaski Highway just inside the beltway on US 40. (Same road) and eventually I discovered that the entire facility has been demo'ed all the way down to bare dirt and is being rebuilt into something else. Blue Diamond is a trucking company of the old school. A transfer dock before there was containers and pallets into the 50's that employed teenagers to lump the freight among all the trailers in the ICC Regulation days. Deregulation in the late 70's gave them a bad hit among other things. The owner of that company was a family friend and we had opportunities to get me settled there but the instructor unknowingly interfered with that appointment that I had set up with him. So that got botched royally. I don't worry about it.

But anyway. Schools are where people learn to drive a 18 wheeler. Just enough to pass the state test. Your real eduating begins the first load dipatcher gives to you. Get going yer late.

 

Trying to remember where I was 22 years ago.
