Prosecutors allege on June 21, Zhukovskyy was driving erratically westbound on U.S. 2 in Randolph, New Hampshire, in a 2016 Dodge 2500 truck with an attached flatbed trailer when it crossed the double-yellow centerline and struck 10 bikers, killing most and injuring three.

...

An employee of Springfield-based Westfield Transport, Zhukovskyy received a Class A commercial license last year. He was charged last month for operating under the influence in East Windsor, Connecticut, and refused a chemical test — a decision that should have cost him his license but ultimately did not, according to the Massachusetts Department of Transportation and Registry of Motor Vehicles. RMV Registrar Erin Deveney resigned Tuesday in light of the agency’s failure to act.

Well that little bit of bureaucratic failure seems pretty important now.

We're scrambling right now at work because one of our couriers can't do the Minneapolis-Fargo-Minot-Watford City-Williston run anymore. Why? Because the only driver of theirs willing to make the run quit on three days notice.

If you can pass a breathalyzer at the moment of hiring with a valid CDL, you can get hired on the spot.

BANDAIDS DON'T FIX BULLET HOLES

Apparently teachers assistants in NC are being required to get their CDLs so can also be bus drivers for the schools they’re working on, so at least once those people finish their training and realize that public schools are going to be hiring fewer and fewer teachers over their career they can hop over into trucking instead of education

What is your point with this post?

It's possibly NOT a bureaucratic failure, it's very possibly a result of a hearing before a judge or attorney acting as a judge for the DMV. In all states, when people refuse a chemical breath test, it's an automatic revocation of their license. It's called implied consent. By having a license, which is a privilege, you are giving your future consent to submit to chemical breath tests when asked by police officers. When you refuse, you lose the license. But within a month, usually within a week or two, you will have a hearing (not a trial, just a hearing) involving you, your lawyer, the police officer, and a judge (or an attorney acting as one). If the police officer fails to present his case sufficiently, then the person can get their license back under some circumstances. Usually for 1st offenses, the person gets their license back on a conditional basis, where they can only drive to and from work, and if they are caught driving somewhere/when else, they can be arrested and the license is revoked for real.

So it's quite possible he got the license back on a conditional basis, or even got it back completely pending his actual trial.

Edit: should have read the article. That was a MAJOR bureaucratic gently caress up, holy poo poo.

The above info would still stand in most states though, so I'll leave it up for people's info and a testament to why you should read an article before poop-posting about it.

All of this, plus the 1099 bit, and a smattering of "gig economy" thrown around, and the years of experience for entry jobs (thx guys that mentioned that poo poo). All of that is why I get as high as I can before going into work.

It's that or I'm going to burn the goddamn building down with the bosses blocked inside by their cars jammed up against the doors with the work truck (lol dodge).
