{"replyTo":"","text":"Senator Moran is reasonable 99% of the time.  I'm embarrassed that he is my Senator, on this Bill. #1)There is no driver shortage. The industry wants this to be less than minimum wage.#2) I trained 4 female students and I didn't pass any  of them because they did not have the abstract cognitive ability required to safely operate. I'm not saying there aren't any capable,  just that the ones I encountered did not.#3) People making the rules think that anyone can be a truck driver. I had a student who did not have the strength to remove the fuel cap and could not back straight after I tried several times over different days. My company wanted me to sign-off on her and I said \"No way. If you graduate her I'm contacting the Feds.\" I should include that I flunked male students, also. I don't train anymore.","replyToPid":0}
