DQ'd From Integrad...

[Bluefootedoobie]

Failed driver commentary drill (I don't speak like a homicidal robot when I drive) and they said I can't become a driver for a year and that I'll have to go back to integrad if I want to become a driver.
A driver I know says: "I know someone in Chicago(Jeffstreet) that can get you a swing driver job right away."

I'm just wondering if anyone has had these random loop-holes, opportunities to get around these random rules about becoming a driver. I have 10 years part-time seniority and really never want to experience integrad ever again, it was horrible corporate brainwashing not driving school.

Are you 705 or 710? Did you go to franklin park?

 

[Bluefootedoobie]

Yeah I'm 705, Yeah went to Franklin Park.

Im sorry but its not that hard. If you fail basic stuff. Your a liability and should not be driving a UPS truck..... not safe...

 

[StoptheAct1212]

By the way . It had to be somthing else.
Not hard to learn 10 point commintary, and 5 seeing habits....

Lol idk if you're kidding or not..but failing because you can't rattle off stuff by memory is dumb as hell

How is, exclaiming: Eye-lead time->Following distance clear-> Speed limit->Left curb hazardous, left mirror clear, left curb hazardous...Repeat 35 times out loud...basic driving stuff?! Well obviously the left curb is hazardous, why would I have to say that when its understood you never drive into oncoming traffic? What some of you probably don't realize, is that some people get passed easier than others...I had a freaken nutcase who failed me.

Sounds like you didn't want it that bad. No worries. The job is not for everyone.

For an example, some 40 year old women passed the drill with an 86% when she told me she cannot talk and drive very good at all...

For the record, I also hate that driver drill stuff. For our yearly space and visibility ride I hate when the on road wants me to do that crap. The last 2 rides I had, the ORS did the driver drill himself and didn't ask me to do it thank God. I hear it's even a bigger deal in feeders to do the driver drill, so I guess I better get it down in 15 years lol. I can rattle off 5 seeing habits, 10 point commentary, 8 keys to slips and falls, 5 backing rules, and 8 yard control rules just like the Terminator. But screw the driver drill.

I have 29 years in and I cant recite that stuff verbatim. Nor do I bother trying.

She was probably just saying that to make you feel better.

She was probably just saying that to make you feel better.

....or the company is needing women really bad to fill a quota.

 

[Indecisi0n]

Sucks

It's not just integrad that makes you do this. My class had to do this and I hated it but played the game. I'm sure this drill made you nervous while you were driving which is what they were probably trying to accomplish. Deep down I'm sure it's also some kind of psychological test as well.

Suck it up and practice in your personal vehicle during the next year. They told us on the first day we had to do this and should practice on our own time if we were struggling. It's not hard to slow down your speech, speak loudly and remember you can't go from side mirror to side mirror for your next move. The rest is just filling time and playing the game.

For the record I have never had to do this in feeders.

I have never met a woman who couldn't talk and drive (while applying makeup) at the same time.

...but I'm sure that you are able to drive down a city street and verbally describe what you are seeing....that it the part that got him DQ'd, not the DOK crap...

The driver commentary is easy. Intersection, curb, mirror clear/dirty over and over.

When it's clean you just say it over and over. I got 65 or something. 45 was the minimum I think.
