Gainey Transportation Services, Inc. - Grand Rapids, Mi.

How many weeks were you out with a trainer? Did you train through Gainey?

 

they didn't have to recover nothing the truck was at home terminal with the trainer and he knew we were gonna quit

nothings wrong with that but when we stopped to see her he dragged us along

if he wants to see his wife thats fine but he can do it on his time off hes getting paid to train and it sounds to me like you didn't trust your wife

 

Some Companies encourage to go out of route to avoid tolls though.

 

we were out 2 weeks we went to school for cdl and my wife also reminded me how i was driving 10 or 11 hrs and she was lucky if she got 3 hrs

 

The trainer was not the boss and you were undr a load. Why 3 people in the truck? Didn't that cause about a thousand warning bells in you head?

So what? I have taken my trainees home with me, fed them, and given them a place to stay while I was home. I fail to see where you have a reason to complain...........Load was early, his first priority was not getting you home but seeing his family, I have no problem with that, I'll bet nobody else here does either

It sounds to you like I don't trust my wife.........Allow me to explain something to you......You do not know me, not do you know my wife...........Your statement concerning this proves you are as stupid as your posts make you appear. My wife is none of your concern sir........

 

Only thing I know of Gainey is I saw there Trucks, and like all they will promise you a Rose Garden to work for them.

As for the Trainer stopping to see his wife, it sounds ok with me. When I was out with a Trainer, he stopped and visted with his Grandparents. I had no problem, I slept the entire time. 6 hours of non rocking sleep.

Ok this is off Gainey but same subject of quiting under a load.
Example one. I gave notice of my intentions to quit, I was asked to pick up a load in Ga and bring to the yard in Tn at the terminal. The load was going to Kentucky. At the Yard they asked if I would take it on to Kentucky but that I refused since we already had an agreement.

Would that be quiting under a load?

Example 2 I was charged quiting under this load. I just started with this company and was given a load assignment I did not Accept. I then told them it will not work out for I saw to much like CR England. I then bobtailed back to Atlanta and turn the truck in. Yet I did not accept the load, I was charged quiting under aload.

 

And that is your fault............

 

You should've kicked the trainer out on the side of the road, and kept truckin.

 

I don't see anything wrong with a trainer stopping to see his wife. While I attended my training with Roehl, I had a trainer go home twice and see his wife, he left me at the Truck stop, made sure I had a shower, meal, etc.

The next week, he made sure we had a load go through, so I could stop and see my wife. One thing I have learned, it gets very lonely being out on the road, and thank god that he does stop to see his wife and children.

I was fortunate, I had great trainers, but I also took a different attitude into this, this is there truck and responsibility, I am the student, and I want to learn all I can. I have also heard of many horror stories about the trainer, but my hat is off to mine.
