From here:
http://www.projo.com/sharedcontent/d...e.3302abf.html Mr. Ramsey was still completing his sentence when he earned his commercial driver's license in 2004. In his final months behind bars, he drove a truck for the Texas prison system, delivering produce and other goods to units around the state as a guard followed in a separate vehicle. Mr. Ramsey said his work as a truck driver since leaving prison has enabled him to become a productive citizen. His record is clean: no accidents or tickets as a commercial truck driver, according to state records. He lives in Dallas with his wife. He takes pride in his professionalism, and he's devoted to the moving company that hired him when he was released from prison. "I'm going to bust my tail for these people because they've given me a chance," Mr. Ramsey said, declining to name his employer. and from here: http://www.projo.com/sharedcontent/d...s.3319667.html Over the last 10 years, a Texas Department of Criminal Justice program has trained more than 1,200 inmates to drive big trucks. More than 900 received their commercial driver's licenses while in prison, state records show. How these drivers have performed on Texas highways is unclear. The state-run school district that trains inmates to be truckers said it doesn't track them once they leave prison. It refused to release inmate names so The News could cross-check them with Texas accident and driver's license records, and it declined a request to let reporters observe prison truck-driver training classes. The newspaper has asked the attorney general for a ruling under the Texas Public Information Act. |

MDCA! Right on! What do they have to say now???
Good work Reb! |
Big difference between a supervised training program and one where they turn two convicted felons lose to roam the country unsupervised.
I don't recall MartenDwelrCa mentioning one of the drivers being a guard or the invisible guard vehicle following them. Also, no link to the Federal Bureau of Prisons showing this program that allows convicted felons still incarcerated playing BBR. Nice try, but as usual with a super trucker story, no facts to back it up. |
Mareten DwelrCA, I took your advice and looked through the entire BOP site and the Occupational Training Programs Directory and found no mention of trucker training or work release programs for truck drivers., as I knew I wouldn't. Not even a mention of truck driving jobs. Strange.:confused:
Federal Bureau of Prisons: http://www.bop.gov/ Occupational Training Programs Directory: http://www.bop.gov/inmate_programs/occ_train.pdf Feel free, now that I provided the links to prove this secret society of prison dwellers exists anywhere but in your mind. I know dwelling must get boring, but really, when you dream up stories, don't expect everyone to ohh and ahh your fantasy. Some actually will call you out on it.:D |

Gotta love it, MartenDwelrCa opens mouth, inserts foot.:D
Still waiting for documented proof from the BOP there sport.:eek: |

Still awaiting proof.
The links provided just showed that GA and TX have programs to train inmates to drive a truck. They also state that said inmates are supervised. Oh, and a link to an article that shows an inmate took a truck and drove it through a gate in an escape effort. Nowhere does that say the inmate was involved in any prison training . Again, you told me in the beginning of this tall tale to go to the BOP site and look it up. I did indeed do that, and there is absolutely nothing to verify your trucker story. So sorry, Marten DrivelerCA, but there is no proof, and your constant attacks on the messenger instead of the message sums it up, you got caught in your story telling and the harder you try to divert that fact, the more foolish you look. As far as employment, I am gainfully employed full time. Maybe you are confused by the fact that those of us whio have a regular job with set hours can and do post on a regular basis, unlike yourself who rely on scamming some free wi fi when you get a chance to stop, or when you are sitting in some God forsaken truck stop all weekend taking your 34. |

There ain't no way a convicted felon , let alone two are going to be allowed to roam around the country together unsupervised. I can see it now, they cut their ankle bracelets off, leave them in the truck and split, never to be heard from again.:eek: The drivers MAY have been pulling the O.P's leg, but I don't really see that he would make this story up. I haven't read all of his posts, but it just seems unlikely. For more info on the increasing probability of such a program, (whether for commercial freight or not,) check these out: http://www.futurepundit.com/archives/001977.html http://www.zdnet.com.au/news/communi...9259113,00.htm IF this program, or one like it actually existed, I would assume at LEAST one of the drivers would qualify as a "trustee" prisoner. At any rate, I would think prisoners might be smart enough NOT to walk away from the opportunities a program like this might afford them if they were due to be released soon. It is also a possibility that they were only registered sex offenders, and would rather tell the story they did rather than to admit the truth. But... as for the government seal? The government does, in fact, have MANY types of vehicles including class 8 tractors in their inventory. I would assume they would have government plates and be exempt from IFTA and possibly other requirements. |
That sure is a lot of IF's isn't it?:p

I'm, sorry, but I read all the links and see nothing that backs up this statement made by the op. |
