    Expect the worst and hope for the best. Some trainers are really douche bags and others are cool. Hard to say until you get in the truck. Just keep your head up and do what you're told... it doesn't last forever.

    Evo 1 trainer I had was a nice guy but not that good of trainer. Seemed to be more in it for the money. Evo 2 trainer on the other hand was excellent. Also, they might send you out with a trainer from a different fleet than what you signed up for.

    Well been with my trainer for 5 days now. I lucked out with a great trainer! Ive heard some horror stories so I am very grateful lol. In Gary tonight so we can get his bunk heater fixed. The morning he picked me up he gave me a call to tell me his bunk heater went out, so we have been freezing our ###e$ off lol. Luckily I had a heavy sleeping bag to take with me so its not been too bad. Got to go to Virginia Beach and see the coast which was alot of fun. Tonight Im in a bunk room so it will be a nice warm night. Well off to catch up on The Daily Show and Colbert Report. Stay safe out there guys and gals..

    Evo 1 down. Now headed home to get a couple days hometime. I switched to another trainer for my 2nd part of Evo 1. Again I lucked out with another great trainer. GOt to drive through Chicago during rush hour. That was exciting only took my 2 hours to get 40 miles lol. Definitely got some shifting practice lol. Hope all is well out there for you all. Posting again soon.
