Trainers

Try doing it with two dudes... that's what I had to do in Phase-1 with CR England. It sucked bad!!!

 

It's all about personalities. The company I'm with has the trainers and students spend a couple hours together getting to know each other before they go out (they are encouraged to go grab lunch together or something) and that is the time either one can say: I think this might not be a good match." After that they still can but it's a PITA 'cause you have to get routed to a terminal, then find another trainer which might involve some down time in a hotel. They time it so all the trainers with students upgrading are at the terminals when the orientation class is done so you got new guys ready for trainers and a whole bunch of trainers all there at the same time so it's easier to pair up better personality matches. Also, might try and think of it like Boot Camp in that: It's only temporary. You CAN get through this.

 

Oh hell no! That would be torturous!

 

]Haters are gonna be haters... they simply dont see the more they hate the worse it gets.. Try not to act like a spoiled step child and focus on the goal..... training and perhaps a career as a professional driver/trucker

 

I agree dca. I am focused on the goal!

 

I will gratefully soak up every bit of training that is offered, but I will hate every second of training because of the close quarters. I'm a loner, and living with another person will drive me crazy once it's my turn.

this is a me thing, not a reflection on the trainer. I'll probably offer to pay for a hotel every night so we can have our space, if that would work.

 

The choicess are yours.. I park at shippers/receivers when possible.. so may yours.. parhaps a taxi

 

Make sure your machine has a memory card, when I was with Prime I took my memory card in every 3 months to confirm I was in compliance. Just wanted to give you a heads up. I started with Watkins and Shepard I did their 10 day and was sent out solo got experience and moved on to a different company with better pay. I did not want to be in with a trainer at all. Backing sucked at first but I practiced every chance I got I started early and finished early so I could practice in am empty industrial area or farther out in a truck stop.

 

Thanks! It does. I get a download from my sleep doctor every month and track it. I am in compliance!

 

Any issues with needing the cpap while training? Do they pair you with a trainer who has an inverter or something?
