[nabs-l] hiring a driver

[Ashley Bramlett]

a good topic for a conference call. Also hiring a driver is so different for 
each person that most O&M instructors do not  cover it, not even at nfb 
centers.  I'd say advertise, do interviews, and reference checks. Then when 
you have a driver, be in charge. I mean do not let them take you whatever 
way they wish. Try and learn the area and directions you are going. You can 
call your destination for directions and write them down or get directions 
from something like mapquest.

and mobility instructor taught me this! I'm not upset at you Jessica, I'm
upset this issue hasn't been discussed at conferences... The conference
calls I mean! RJ
