  1. OverDrive

    OverDrive "A Watchman on the Walls"

    I agree that it's all about the type of trainer one gets---one who is only after the $$$, or a true 'mentor.'

    In my case I bailed on the 26 yo (I could have been his dad!) after 1 week and did fine under the 35 yr experienced (was 62 yo?) for the remaining 2 wks. I've seen many 'young' drivers drive just long enuf to get enuf $$ to party during their off time; and older drivers (over 50 yo) drive and save $$$ often looking toward retirement. But again, individuals regardless of age are different, but I've seen a 'trend.'

    For those younger drivers starting out, dont fall into spending all your $$$ on partying; but if serious about making trucking a career, save, either toward your own truck where you take both the risks as well as the rewards for your efforts---or save toward a post-driving retirement, which is more difficult these days with banking interest rates being almost 'zero!' (Thk you QED & printing $$$).

    Just some old fart advice...OD

    Yes I agree with you 100% Really not Knights fault as they cant Police every trainer. I just got the short in of the stick on that Trainer. I am just wanting to learn the in and outs of trucking and see where it goes. If I am good enough so be it if not I tried and gave it 110%.

    Right now believe it or not I work in the Banking Industry. I know now how better to manage my money. And yep Banking Interest rates stink now. Just was talking to a customer about how to better use her 500,000. as she was only getting 10 dollars in interest off of it in her savings account. If that tells you anything
