    Good luck Krazy im shure you'll find a job soon enough and i know exactly what happened . You were so excited to get your own truck and be by yourself and run the highways ,that you thought you were ready and then ...its just you in this big o truck and you don't have nobody to correct your mistakes and the pressure is there and bammmm it hits you "im not ready" we'll ill tell you it happened to me but i stuck it out because i worked so hard just to get here ,smelled nast farts and delt with my trainer pissing all day so i drove slow on hills or curbs and i managed to get a routine and now i feel that i am a successful driver.i worked so hard dealt with so much and now its paying off good luck and good night

    I was a trainer at May. There's no way a trainer would set someone up to fail. There's more to this story then meets the eye.

    Ya they had a pete and I could not reach the peddles so I need a smaller truck but they taught me about customers moving tamdoms the Qualcomm trip planning everything except the driving on different terrain they were so great and so respectful. They never made me feel stupid and afraid to ask questions they were safe drivers they made sure we ate when needed and showed when needed. There were never hours and hours of silence. There was always something to teach. In the end it was my choice and I choose more training. So it is what it is. But there are wonderful people out there.
