I would not want to hire a lawyer. The ADA does not work very well because it is still not perfect system. I understand that it is very emotional for us that we should have the rights.
If you insist your boss what you need, he might fire you. That would be a terrible mistake. I recalled that it depends on how many employees work for him. If you know the ADA about the numbers of employees, then I guess that you could hire a lawyer.
I am surprised that he won't give you a truck and he must be so asshole!
I admit to tell you that my brother-in-law, is a president of a printing company, won't hire deaf people and retarded people. He had them for 5 years. He got sick of them. I refused to work for him because of that, and he has a tantrum temper.

No, no, no! If you do not stand up for yourself, and ask for your rights, then you are accepting discrimination as an acceptable part of life. You are giving all the asshole like this one permission to continue to treat deaf employees uneaqually. How does that improve the situation? How is that progress in obtaining equality? You let them trreat you like the poor deaf employee that has to do anything I say because he can't do any better, and you just reinforce their ideas that deaf are not as capable as hearing. No one deserves to have their basic civil rights violated. You cannot allow emploers or anyone else to rob you of your human dignity.
