    Hello fellow pro drivers. I worked for this company for a very very short amount of time didn't make it past there new trainer program with there claimed reputable trainer I was assigned to. A trainer who only worked for them for 6months 38 years old and about left me a recent grad 22 years of age in Texas when our terminal is in rock hill/chester s.c Because a lady looked my way and not his in a loves in San Antonio. The training when you go to this company is supposed to be 3 coast to coast round trips with a reputable trainer for inexperienced drivers. Well the above stated accident happened ony first round trip. I called disbatch and family thinking this grown man left me and the workers at the loves told me he pulled away when on the phone trying to call dispatch and everybody at this company so I left messages and everything in the book called cell phones and all well turns out he was messing with my head ce in the store 15mins later like are you coming ?????? So I did go because being left 1300 miles from home in N.C is not my plan well we get in the truck have a talk to calm things. Believe it or not I didn't hear nothing back from this company until 2 days later and they told my trainer what I had told them about how he was criticizing my clothing and my hair being I'm a African American and he uses that against me for the next two weeks first starting off claiming that I was going to slow down highway 8/ interstate 8 in southern California going into San Diego but guys guess what.... He was asleep the whole time a 3 a.m this night with it raining and a full load on a 53 foot trailer in a 10 speed Pete with a little pacar engine in it up and down the mountains until the last hill coming into San Diego and said I was going to slow ??????? The reason for this story is. I drove back and forth from California on interstate 20 and interstate 40 and then a half a trip to Indianapolis Indiana through west Virginia both times there and back with him saying I was going first to slow around corners then next to fast around corners taking 65 mph curves at 45 and then that's to fast from when I was just doing 40mph around anyway to top this whole story off this trainer told me that the dispatch laughed at me for calling saying I got leftin Texas when I thought I was left and that he used what I told them about him leaving me against me the whole rest of my (with a reputable trainer period) he said I need to learn how to take curves faster than 45mph in a 53 foot 80,000 pound truck faster without a single shift in the truck during a curve (((((impossible)))) and all this is coming from a trainer who is supposed to guid you on your whole shift but he sleep over half of all my driving and talked on the phone during my driving ams his and said that other than that I'm good but he didn't teach me about one piece of paperwork at all the trip pack or nothing when that's all I said from the beginning I need to know. He said ima deal with this tomorrow at the shop he told them I was unsafe and no telling what else and they said from his standpoint they don't want me to flip there truck over I'm unsafe but this man sleep the whole time with me driving and nobody wants 10cents a mile or even 14 cents a mile anybody can make thereselfs look good once in a while to get trainer pay attention lady's and gents my pro fleet ( if you go here DAVID W) IS THIS TRAINER HE IS ONE OF TWO ONLY WHITE TRAINERS AND ME BEING A RECENT FELON HE IS NOT FOR THE FELONS. DO NOT RISK TIME OR PATIENCE WITH THIS GUY. PLEASE HE IS FOR THE $$$$$$ BECAUSE IDK HOW MANY CASINOS HE STOPPED AT IN A MONTHS TIME BUT HE DOESN'T PERFORM A PRE OR POST TRIP HE WILL HAVE YOU DO THAT FOR HIM OR GO OFF YOURS AND HE DOES BOT CARE ABOUT YOUR FUTURE.

    how did the people that work at loves see him leave If you didn't? We're they all out side watching you both or did you just assume he took off with out actually taking the steps to verify?

    Also I think it's stupied to say anything about race since most people only use it for others to feel sorry for them.


    I would think if you guys are running team and your the trainee you should be doing all the post and pre trips not him you should also be fueling and washing the windows at stops not him

    Based on what you have said, I think you have a claim for race discrimination and constructive dismissal. Can you prove the discrimination? Did you document it ? Like a journal or something. Did you let management know? If so, did you do it in writing? I'm not a lawyer but I think you should file a charge of race discrimination with the EEOC right away. If this guy was giving you negative performance reviews for no apparent reason, while at the same time making comments about your racial characteristics ( a protected status) , you can file a lawsuit against Carolina Cargo. Start calling lawyers , I think you have a case but I'm not sure. Most will take it on a contingency meaning you don't pay up front. Call enough of them and one of them will pressure these punks into cutting you a settlement check.

    Really?....
    Imagine that....
    Another black man got hit by a semi truck and all he was doing was break dancing, minding his own business in 3rd Lane of I-94

    Don't get me wrong
    .... I'm not racial at all, I just call it the way I see it...." Ridiculous"
    And I know there are real cases of racism but I don't believe it's as common as some folks want to believe it is especially when there's a lawyer involved & waiting for free $ to fall into their lap
    I hope some day we can all rise above this kind of foolishness
