Child support and trucking

Well, I appreciate the respect and many thanks for the kind words. I appreciate the fact that you said I am formidable. I always try to be adversarial, for my opposition's own good if we're not going to war, so to speak. It makes people seal off all weaknesses in their assertions. Something I've learned as a person who deals with multiple disabling conditions, especially in the context of being employed by generally uneducated people--I have to always trace their actions back to what most likely motivates people. I've been a driver for about six years now. One can go back to the very beginning of my posts here and I'm asking about how to shift the truck. I know the ins and outs of this industry, in my neck of the woods at least.

One thing I've learned as a person who is often targeted for a disability--and I understand you had cancer. #### cancer, I hope you nailed cancer to the cross. That's a rough thing for sure, especially if you were well enough to keep driving but your boss gets wind of it. Strange things happen in employment situations when your boss finds out you have cancer, or manic depression, or even if they perceive something is off about your medical fitness. They should be the first to offer support, at least professionally. But uneducated safety managers tend to discriminate under this pretext that , "we're just looking out for your own good." You said I'm formidable, and as someone with a few disabilities, I realize survival of the fittest comes to play in the workplace. Something called a reasonable accommodation, and employers think they can circumvent their legal obligation to provide this based on the irrelevant fact that our line of work requires a medical clearance. Survival of the fittest. Killing the weak and only the strongest survive. The same logic why all disabled people in Germany from 1933 to 1945 ended up dead in "work camps," as some might erroneously call them. The same mentality still plays out in the workplace, and I find myself ever vigilant. I'm the kind of person who will cross examine their own manager about their motives, in the most gentle way.

I really appreciate the fact that you said I am formidable. I learned from a very good attorney, how to argue until somebody's about to blow their own brains out just to escape my own cyclic form questioning. I've also seen a great many drivers get screwed in the workplace, and I'm always the first to advocate for the individual's rights against a large company. I'm staring down the barrel of a career change and I think I'm going to end up going to law school sooner than later. Change my name to Winston Oleg Georges Sterling IV and roll with the upperclass folk. Sit back and smoke my pipe on my English manor farm whilst listening to some classical symphony. RIP trucking, I'm going to become a professional disruptor.

 

Another thing dates to my deaf school with about 200 trainables (Mental retardation, birth disabilities too severe to participate freely in society such as marrying, mating a opposite sex and so on in life) they will never have a life that is free.

I always try to fight for them or defend them where possible They did not get to be here on this earth by choice with what they had.

I have my own disabilities and many are not by choice. I don't like it at all. But I live with it pernamently. It is what it is. Bosses generally don't get told #### until they corner me and say what is the problem with that doctor visit? Oh that's testing for TB. Oh yah? GTFO. See you in 5 days. So much for work. See why I keep my mouth shut?

My own conflicts with trucking bosses related to the deaf culture are epic. I try to be good and teach them. Most of the time they showed that they were able to learn and we get along great. I get to be a excellent employee etc.

However, trucking is incredibly difficult for those who do not understand it. I don't mind being questioned or challenged against my disability to see if I am a freeloader, lazy or otherwise motivated by free money. That's not the problem. It's the bones inside my own body that says no trucking period. Or much of anything. I don't like that and defend it against challengers. I already have to defend against reviews by our Government every few years (Which is designed specifically to weed out abusers, freeloaders and so on)

I can go on, but my own family has made a monster in childhood. My father in particular. He never brings charges at the dinner table for example I broke a window down the block explain myself. without prior evidence on hand. I have learned from him to if I get into anything, before I do. I better have evidence of my own and answers to the inevitable questions. And it pretty much shorted pa out at his own game on the dinner table trials at home.

Never mind the courthouse. Ive participated in many as a gas station cashier going after customers who took off on 20 dollars stealing gas, bums who stole a 4.50 sandwitch or worse a co worker arrested and charged for embezzling and god only knows what other losses deep enough to threaten the existence of the entire workplace itself. And thus my job and that of about 15 people who are workers there.

But the worst enemy to me is the angry dispatcher saying YER LATE. YES I CALLED you and SAID I will be a hour late today, did you forget that so easily and qualcomm message stamp number 12345678 informed you that I am running late through your company's own change appointment macro. So don't you raise your voice and try to scare me into accepting a service failure when YOU the dispatcher did #### in responding to the developing lateness 24 hours ago.

Silence.

That's the end of that one. Next. Follow me?
