trainer

I'm a little concerned now about being in a truck with a trainer.... how do I know he's not a psycho? People find me off-putting beacause while I'm polite and considerate, I am also reserved and not chatty. I'm there to learn and work not make friends. I would prefer to do most of the driving...

Really frustrated by this never ending delay. Apparently they have a shortage of trainers, but I don't understand why, every Tue they have guys that need trainers it is not a surprise. I thought I would have been out of here at least 4 days ago. I am now getting homesick because of it, I have...

Just curious. They are still hiring newbies and am wondering if they are shooting themselves in the foot, due to accidents, late loads, abandonment, etc. Others can reply, not just trainers. It's just that IMHO they might have a better idea based on experience and not just truckstop talk.

Excuse Me! Is the first week with a trainer suppose to be like boot camp? Is verbal abuse and belittling the newbie part of the training? I'm just curious. Wouldn't it contribute to a positive training experience not to mention "Safety" on the road, if some encouragement and patience from the...
