Could use some perspective, maybe even some encouragement!

i feel your pain honestly i do,but being disrepectful to an individual is unacceptable.i had this problem with my trainer and slapped the lil punk in the face.he ran to call the police and i ran to the bus station ( ahahah) i quit the company and about to go with another.seriously being disrespectful to any one for no apparent reason will not be tolerated by me,just my opinion

p.s what company is this ?

 

As others have said already, hang in there just a bit longer or try for a different trainer.

I have a tough time with a "trainer" that has only 2 years experience. If I offend some of you, I apologize, but, save for a few exceptions, at 2 years, a driver is still very green, IMO. A 2 year "veteran" with the "I know it all" or "Been there, done that" attitude is a bad choice to train anybody and just proves my point. Hell, he's still trying to convince himself, as well as everybody else, that he knows what he's doing, when in reality, he's still scared ########.

Just my $.02.

 

I'm glad your smiling! Just remember, when your in own truck.....you can take as many showers a week as you want on your 10 hour break!

I feel for all the nonsense you both have been through, it just amazes me that all these high profile companies, would tolorate such stupidity. It really does 3 very bad things.....1.)You can not take advantage of the training in an enviroment like this, it more like just getting done with it rather then gaining the knowledge and skills needed to be a safe productive employee. 2.) You never really feel like part of the company, any company who does not have checks and balances in place to prevent this, would make me wonder if they care? ( believe me they care, as they have an investment in you and need you to perform when your taining is complete) 3.) It does not give you a very soild platform, to start your career.

I know you do not want to be known as weiners, but I really think after you test out and get your truck, you need to contact the people in charge and calmly discuss your experience. They need quality people like you and your husband to keep their business running. I' m not making excuses for them, but I was responsible for over 250 employees at one point in my career and sometimes things did not come to my attention..........and the signs were all around me that there was an issue....but the managers that reported to me often would just cover and say it was a non-issue. Until you have a true open door policy, it is very hard for some levels of management to see the real issues ,until a valued employee in the trenches feels comfortable coming forward and lays it on the line.

I know with all the obstacles you have overcome, you will finish and be successful....as I can sence "The Magic Word" .......Attitude!!

Be safe, Jonny

 

showering once a week ? my god my god,how do u do it..me and this trainer would have separated along time ago even if i had less than 24 hrs with him to go.how old is this indiviual seems like he was home trained poorly

 

whats is the name of this company ?

 

my hat is off to you for enduring as long as you have. i can't imagine being in a truck that long with 2 other people, and one of them being a jerk to boot. 2 years is hardly enough experience to earn the title "trainer"

backing and shifting WILL come with time. good luck
