    Been a few days thought I would update my mentor status.

    The new mentor I great. We went to el paso and up to chicago. We are in indiana now headed to oregon this afternoon. We just noticed the drive axle is leaking so we are gonna have to spend some time in a shop very soon. Things are going good though and getting some good hours in.

    So far so good. No complaints.

    I am glad you got a mentor who isn't a selfish prick. Hopefully this one will teach you some stuff. I am curious to know how Stupid Trainer thinks another company isn't going to ask him to use his CPAP.

    Sounds like your trainer is running
    Scared and in a panic.
    He may feel like his space is being invaded and worried about his job.
    He may feel that you will replace him so he maybe acting like that to drive you away, he is just scared.

    He could of had a fight with his girlfriend or wife too or both.
    Could be stressed out over bills too.
    Or stuff on his mind he does not want to talk about, ya never know.

    If he is like that all the time,
    Then he really needs a vacation.

    I disagree, I've always stood on my own but there is a place for compassion in today's world. This guy is out there trying to make a living on his own and all you want to do is beat him down. Let me guess, your one of those drivers out there making fun of someone having a hard time getting parked for the night on the cb. Or maybe even taping it and posting it on you tube.

    Naw...old school, it looks like someone forgot how to read the thread till the end.

    It also looks like another short posting career. 5 posts, and 4 of them are here.

    I'm guessing they got the shaft when they first started and didn't think to ask for advice from others.

    Trolls aren't often known for their intelligence.
