    I watched a Werner trainee trying to 90 degree back into a very tight spot at Loves in Dallas. My first instinct was to grab my phone and record it for Twisted Trucker. Then my conscience got the better of me and I got out off of my ### to help him get backed into the spot. Went and took a shower and came out to find that very same trainee out there helping another trainee get backed into a spot that had opened up next to him. Sad that none of these so called mentors will help the people who depend on them to literally stay alive for the duration of their truck driving career, let alone teach them to be courteous.

    I had an issue with a Target reefer door and my mentor looked at me like I was an idiot, then couldn't close or lock it himself. I discerned that it was a similar issue and we got it shut and locked. There are courteous drivers out there. Just gotta look really, really hard for them lol

    Well, the trainer should have kept it low key and simply showed you what the problem is.

    I might be better off just working in prison... I'll be @$!&ed if I let someone treat me like that and get away with it. Too old for crap like that.

    Sounds like the trainer doesn't know. Probably not on level ground.

    Don't worry about him, one of his first posts was about an at fault accident he was in.

    But it took you doing property damage to figure out how you're not supposed to hit things.

    Matty can't afford to maintain CT equipment. He's broke after buying the Ambassador bridge.
