Husband almost done with Mentor, question about more experience....

I feel comfortable. CRUNCH!! Oops!! Someone once said that if they feel like they got it they would toss the keys and walk away. Guarentee the old timers pee their pants often because of comfortable drivers. Think you're going too fast? Yup!! Think you're too tired? Yup!! Do your hub a favor. Let him post. No offense, but from observing here he might be sticking MY neck out to convince you he is ready.

 

Hopefully his trainer is ok.

 

Beachin check your PM's and call me if you need to.

 

any driver with a brain would go on delay

 

There is a difference between a driver in training and and a driver on their own.

If it DOESN'T AFFECT YOU PAY then by all means get off the drive line. Since Swift driver's in training are paid by the hour I would have advised him to go to the "on duty-not driving" line while stuck in traffic. Yes, it's burning his 70 but it's not that big a deal for a team.

I "fired" my first mentor because he wanted me use just the trailer brakes (in order to save his tractor brakes). I felt this was unsafe (I started driving truck in 1975) and driver training in Phoenix agreed.

In the end most mentors just get the new driver to the point they can go off and learn on their own. I had a great mentor and it's amazing what he DIDN'T teach me.

 

What call his wife to come on here and then when we respond your answer is

So what do you want from the majority of us who aren't on a swift trainer truck?
