Is it better for a woman to get trained by another woman or man?

Get trained by a good trainer. Gender shouldn't be nearly as relevant as patience, knowledge, and a willingness to teach.

A willing student makes all the difference in how well a trainer passes on those skills.

 

When I trained most female students I was offered I turned down. To easy to get involved in he said - she said.

 

Neither....

Whoever started this whole "Trainer-Trainee garbage was stupid, Lets coop 2 strangers up together for weeks at a time--- Nothing bad could EVER come out of that

proper training starts with a no-nonsense -in your face instructor and If you cant pass the basic fundamentals of driving a truck.. You Don't Drive- Simple


I think When Im done driving...I'll become a proper instructor-- The Megas will All know my name and Hate my guts For doing it the 'right" way

 

As long as both sides are relatively attractive and you're in the truck long enough its pretty much going to get intimate.

Been there, done that, ended in an explosion. Good times.

If you are that worried about it get a female. Such an easy solution you tell your driver manager "i need a female", done. Considering how easy this solution is I think this thread is about attention-seeking.

 

Yup, usually ends ugly don't it.

 

In my case it ended with me finding a local job and so she had to get a new co-driver.

I lied about the name of the company i moved onto and I never brought her to my house.

It definitely didn't end gracefully. Would I do it all over again if I ever go back OTR? Hell yeah.

 

That's cold blooded man...

Mine went salty cuz I refused to team...

Why start splitting the check when youve been getting the whole thing.

Spiked my blood pressure though. Went back solo.

 

I see it like this. If your a woman, in what seems to be a mans world your better off being trained by a woman. Best believe there are a woman or three out here that can get a truck down the road and do it right. I'm sure out of those three women there is a trainer among them. In the military women Drill Instructors trained women recruits. It seemed everytime a woman became part of any team or even temporarily lived in our sleeping area, whether it be in the dirt/sand or in a tent she was always hollering some unwanted sexual harassment or assault.

That being said I'm positive there are male trainers who would treat you with nothing but respect. But go ahead and just take a walk through a truck stop and I bet you become uncomfortable. Its your decision. But for the safety and well being of yourself and the opposing gender/trainer your better off being trained by a woman.

I really hesitated posting this because I don't want people thinking I'm sexist or anything. I meant no negativity by saying any of this, just my honest assessment.

Good luck to you.

 

Man she was crazy. I almost kicked her out of my truck the first day of training (i trained her and she later became my teammate, still did most of the work). I called my boss and told him this ##### is nuts get her out of my truck. He said come on man give it a little time. So i did, you can fill in the blanks on the rest of that story, lol. Being the good guy to women these days just isnt worth it...
