    Should be back on the road with my trainer tomorrow, however, I'm contemplating asking for a new one.

    Ever since my accident there has been tension. He still doesn't sit up front with me on the highways (at least he has on the city streets since then) and I woke up on last Saturday to find him driving on my logs....

    I didn't say anything to him because I didn't want to get left somewhere or something.

    I DO NOT trust him. My gut tells me to switch.

    BTW I'm still in Rock Hill SC while my trainer is on home time.

    You're lucky that these days you can text or email. back in my day, I had QUALCOMM and I can assure you that if we free formed any thing long, we'd get our butts chewed out. I think back then it was something like 25¢ per character, per space. SO they wanted us to use the "canned messages" instead.

    I was able to get a hold of my dispatcher and he said he'd call us later today.

    Switch. Bad trainers need to be exposed.

    Sad thing is most trainers view their job as a money grab. Good luck with the next one.

    Dispatcher wont write you back but he will call you? Hmmmm sounds like this is going to be swept under the rug.

    Get out of there as soon as you can. Call your safety department and let them know he's using your log
