There were eight of us in orientation and the safety director had us all line up and face the wall and drop our pants in the hall outside his office door. Next we heard..."OK men, bend over and spread'em!" What really bothered me, was I only heard him snap on a rubber glove ONCE.

The rubber glove came in a sealed package. It never occurred to me he may not be certified...he had to videotape the whole thing. For the records. Let me see if I got this right. The safety director lined up 8-guys who then dropped trou. He conducted his examination in a public hallway with one rubber glove. The entire procedure was videotaped. :shock: You're joking right? IDC? Holy Smolies! :lol: What is the wonderful world of truck driving coming to? :lol:

Talk about civil rights violations, nudity in group setting, illegal use of videotaping, health violation of one glove for 8, where was release form for video taping? Hope you signed nothing, got names and have called a lawyer? Was this doctor certified? or just a company employee performing the exam? I think I would have told them to fuck off, walked out and called a newspaper then a lawyer.

But as far as the orientation, expect to spend at least two days. I just went through one a bit back. Day 1: Drug test, road test, DOT physical, reams of paperwork. Sleep in a skanky motel on their dime. Day 2: Reams of paperwork, videos, more videos, lots more videos, find out if you passed the road test, watch the Highway Watch video and become and official DHS-Certified Terrorist Investigator, lots more videos, reams of paperwork, and find out if your piss passed. Listen to the safety man tell you you will be fine after you spend a week with a trainer even though you have 10, 20, 30 years of experience (they even wanted to put the 60-year-old guy who had been trucking for 55 years with a trainer.) Day 3: Truck it up. Day 7: Cash paycheck. |
