Thanks again, Are alot of the trainer O/O or is it just pretty random? How long have you been OTR, and what keeps you from being a Trainer, I bet you would one, It seems like you have a great attitude and a good sense of humor. No pressure, I'm just saying.


Thanks, Pirate Trucker XOXX

Its pretty random.

I have been otr since December 10th, 2011.

I don't train because i don't believe I'm ready to be a trainer. If I was a van driver then id train, sure, but as a flatbed driver I haven't seen as many loads as I've liked to before training someone. I mainly haul coils, wood products, and steel. I want to see some other places too. I don't want to get into a state i haven't been in yet and not know what to do about something. Mainly I don't want my student to think I don't know what I'm doing. That's really it. I love driving, I live for it. Trucking is my lifestyle.

OK, I'm back from the park,good fun. I understand that, me, I'm a bit too old to do the flats, I just want the van right now, Doesn't mean I won't go to the flatbed I just want to learn more about each divison as I go along. Drty Diesel, The smart man never stops learning, look at me I'm 45 and just getting started with the trucking, and you're what 20 something and I'm learning a ton from you, so don't sell yourself short.

Thanks pirate, I appreciate it.

Wow! Didn't know that, from some of the guys that I've seen pass their CDL training that are really inmature, that would be a good reason to be un-easy about putting your name on the line. I guess I'm looking at it from my 45 yr. old eyes, Thanks for the new perspective.

Pirate I from Orlando FL. Hopefully after orientation u can wait out in a hotel for a trainer instead of getting sent home to wait. As far as a sharing a truck with your trainer just be respectful as it was his own place company man or owner op. Don't step on his rug with your shoes, pack light, mistakes are ok but as long as u improve it'll be gravy. Be safe and execute what you've learned and it'll fly by.

Thanks coopnp, I hope I don't have to wait either, Question? do any of the trainers live near Atlanta, or does that matter? Also when I prove myself, where do I recieve my truck, Atlanta, or somewhere else?
