I have to wonder if any of these drivers have the proper license to handle this rig?

Which fire department is this?
ReplyDeleteWhat would that require a class A with Hazmat endorsement?
ReplyDeleteWhat is the matter, are you scared to ask them? That would be the manly thing to do!
ReplyDeleteOops, forgot who I was talking to.
of course they do idiot
ReplyDeleteThere are only two farmins in the fire company with an A license to drive it. They wont because they want nothin to do with hazmat or furlough 1. This class only preps you for the test and doesnt transition you from B to A class license. Lots of pissed farmin dropped out because the process was so screwed up and not what was promised.Another Bragg and Gordy project. Most farmin dont care if it ever responds and probably wont. Just another waste of your tax dollars.
ReplyDeleteCome on people, This is his SOP. Post something and see if it sticks to the wall.
ReplyDeleteI saw then on rt 13 by barnes and noble saturday
ReplyDeleteI had enrolled in the class and dropped out. The thing was screwed up from jump with numerous class changes. Gordys project with Bragg coordinating it which spells disaster.
ReplyDeletedisgusting waste of money, hoppes
ReplyDeleteI seriously doubt it!
ReplyDeleteThe ones driving the unit this past weekend only have their learners permit. They are getting their class A licenses at tax payers expense and getting paid overtime for taking the weekend long Drivers Training class.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea because the firefighters will now be able to get a part time job driving a tractor trailer for their second job. A good way to make up for the poor pay the city pays them.
anyone wishing to even think of touching that rig, has to have at minimal a class a learners permit. If they have a permit, they must have a person whom holds a Class A with them. And no you do not need a hazmat endorsement.
ReplyDeleteDo they park this at the WWTP? That would be a convenieny spot.
ReplyDeleteThis was the first of four weekends the class is being held. I am sure you will see this rig on the street the next three weekends as well.
ReplyDeletePeople who complete the class will NOT be licensed to drive the rig. They must complete the MD DMV Class A Test to obtain their license, the same as any other person would do. The class is simply an orientation and familiarization class given by a NON-Departmental person who is considered an expert in the field. I do not know his name.
In order to be a student in the class (and operate the rig) you must have obtained a Class A Learners Permit.
Just wanted to provide some clarification.

What is inside the trailer? Probably bags of kitty litter...
ReplyDeleteHey Joe,
ReplyDeleteI was one of those drivers this past weekend. I am taking this class to upgrade my Commercial License that I already hold. I will be scheduled to take the appropriate MVA test in the near future. I had a licensed driver to drive with me as required.
Secondly I took two full days away from my family to serve this City. I am a VOLUNTEER. Read this cleary. I will say it again. VOLUNTEER. No compensation for my time.
You also need to read the emergency vehicle laws a little better for MD. I won't get into this now.
If you want to know who I am your internal spy will surly tell you.
Do they always practice at McDonalds? LOL
ReplyDeletewho are the 2 that wont drive it?
ReplyDeletewhen does the 2nd tractor trailer arrive?
What a waste of money and who is the moron claiming to be a VOLUNTEER? I guarantee that buttwipe won't ever drive it to a call during an emergency. First of all it may never ever get a call and second if it does the career firefighters will be there to take it.
ReplyDeleteNot only is the SFD walking on thin ice in the public's eye, now anon. 1126 wants to start the who's is bigger between the paid and vollie members. SFD has such a long way to go and they may never get there. What a shame.
ReplyDeleteJust a couple of career cry babies and retend union using this site to promote their agenda. Gets kinda old after a while.
ReplyDeletePut this piece of equipment in the same category as the boat.
ReplyDeleteNot needed/Money wasted
