Good Lord!!! That explains part of the delay. I require higher qualifications than that to drive a parts truck for me. That's not a bad gig though, for a kid with not much more than a GED/High school diploma at 18 years old.shew wrote:Got bored waiting.. found this link.

Re: Getting tired of waiting.
I finally broke down and called them today. I was told that they are just now entering applications from mid March into the system. I was also told that very few, if any applications are going through in under 90 days.

Re: Getting tired of waiting.
I did another email request for a pin today. Same old garbage....blah blah blah...not entered in system. So I sent a follow up asking if there was a problem or if my application is lost since it's been over 60 days. They sent me another email telling me it takes 90-120 days. I guess we just have to get glad in the same pants we got mad in.ed3eclipse wrote:Day 76..........

Re: Getting tired of waiting.
If I thought they would welcome my help, I would be all over it. The first thing I would do is organize the process, so that the applications are processed in order.Keith B wrote:And how do you know that they are "kept' government workers with bloated paychecks"? Can you quote how their salary range compares to other like jobs in other areas? Just because you work for the state doesn't mean you have bloated pay. I can tell you that there are a lot of clerical/administrative jobs in the private sector that pay better and have just as good or better benefits. My Brother-In-Law is a corrections officer for the state prison system in Missouri, and I guarantee you he doesn't make what they should be paid.03Lightningrocks wrote:.40calMedic wrote:I agree Plato.

That is total BULL. They are "kept" government workers with bloated paychecks and they are not doing their jobs properly. This garbage would not be happening if they were doing their jobs properly. The signs of disorganization are all over the place. If everyone were getting processed in order I might have to think they are poor overworked folks...but nope...the process is all over the map.
I am sick of everyone crying we should blame the politicians. That is nothing more than a sorry excuse for not taking responsibility as individuals. What in the world happened to the good old fashion work ethic?
The folks in the office are working under the restrictions of budget and head count. The budget comes from the state funding. Until someone from above pushes the buttons to get them the extra money and help (it has been reported they now have 12 additional temporary workers) then the process will drag on as is and they will do the best they can.
I am sure they would welcome the extra help if you want to go down and volunteer to assist in processing apps!

Re: Getting tired of waiting.
Instead of working hard at getting caught up, the "gubment wurkers" are now busy making "running behind" their new slogan. What needs to happen is a mass influx of complaint letters and law suites for violating our constitutional rights. Any other branch of the government that pulled this garbage would be blistered in the press....for example welfare checks. What if the DL department just threw up it's hands and said "Oh well, we are running behind, lots of renewals and new drivers lately. Guess you can't drive"? There would be up risings in the press. But since we are talking "evil handguns" here...it just gets worse by the day.
