My co-driver and I went through 4 in 5 months. The cord kept melting down, at the end or where the fuse is. It didn't keep food very cold either.

I would suggest any cooler that has a detachable cord. If you step on the plug end, or it melts, you can buy a replacement cord and not have to be monkeying with the wiring while all your food gets warm.

There's one guy who's a security officer or something that drives on weekends. He's really hit or miss because half the time he's watching tv, or playing on the computer, or doing whatever.

I really hate taking the shuttle on the weekends, it just seems like it keeps getting worse.

Not a regular one, the big one!!
My mouth is watering just thinking about it, yummmm.
I see all these new guys and it makes me wish at times I was a trainer. But then I come back to reality and remember that I would rather not go to the west coast, and that to train properly it is important to hit at least several large mountain ranges. So, it will not happen. I just love teaching about things I love.
I was a ski instructor for 7 years because of that.
Good luck.

OK where do I find it LOL Hey Chromedome is it true the trainer needs to pay for the motel cause I spent 4 days in one down in Del Rio TX. via my pocket my trainer has a G/F there did his his H/T there. I will talk to someone tomaro cause it cost me $ 130.00.

I was told that in Orentation, it was asked by a student, and that is what the training person told us. I would check if I were you, though it is possibly too late now.
Let me check my old training folder too, I think it was in there.

He did finally try the roach coach outside and had a burger he said. So far, so good. They take their written test Wednesday so i have my fingers crossed. He found a study book there last night and was reading it. Just figured i'd let you know he made it through day 1. Hope Dragon finally got a trainer and checks in soon.

Your hubby must be in one of the concrete rooms what room ? I'm hangn out in 116 by myself yahoo just to small for a roomy hehehe.

It's never to late when it comes to money after all I made him $ 6700.00
in 19 days so he owes me that cause all I made was $ 800.00

All it says in the manual is that if the trainer needs time off that they must make arrangements for you with there DM or training cord.
It was a training cord. that told us that the trainer must pay for a hotel room though.
Hopefully you get it. I hate seeing trainers take advantage of trainees. Mine went too his house one night, I decided to be nice and stay in the truck. He had parked it in a small shopping center parking lot, and said he would be back first thing in the morning.
He was not back till 10am. I had to walk a good mile from there at 3am to find a bathroom. It did not happen again.

The Mexican guy comes in about 2130 or so. His camper/ kitchen is in the lot all the time. It does not leave. All his food is good, but his burrito is to die for.

His idea was 4 nights in the truck and not at the G/F house the bathroom at taco bell was close but where was the shower

I'll look for the guy I see his truck so he'll be here soon an hour or so.

I would talk to the head of training tomorrow.
The hard part now will be finding who approved him to be there with you in the truck.
Also, those 4 days counted towards your training period. Since you are done with training and I hope seated in a truck, they cannot send you back out for 4 more days. I have seen that happen though, when a student had not upgraded yet. They complained about being stuck sitting at the trainers house, and those days had to be redone.
So have you gotten a truck yet? If so is it a newer one or older? I am still waiting for my fleet manager to pull strings and get me in a 2009.
He said they were for trainers and teams first, then drivers that had been here longer. SO I hope I can weasel into one. I want a white truck darnit lol.
Tired of this hot, impossible to keep clean, black thing.
