All problems have solutions.
All solutions come with different costs associated.
His actions and attitude were no solutions at all.
Just an aggravation and a major cost increase to an operation.
He is on a learning curve. I hope.JoeyJunk, gentleroger, InTooDeep and 2 others Thank this. -

The industry doesn't do much to transmit the wisdom that comes from experience to new drivers. New drivers can't know what is the common responses to some situations if they are new to the industry. One thing that can help is for newbies and trainers to stay in touch after the newbie gets his own truck. A quick call or text to the old trainer might help the newbie learn what the options are and how to communicate the best option to the company.
It's water over the dam so try to learn the lesson and use it next time. This industry leaves whole encyclopedias unsaid to new drivers and then jumps on their head for not knowing all of the unsaid info. Even 30 years after I started there were unusual things happening or questions I never would have known to ask until I was in a jam.expedite_it, JoeyJunk, The_vett and 1 other person Thank this. -

What form of reporting to choose depending on situations.
Close contact between trainers and trainees.
I had my fair share of trainees and I would add another one.
As a newbie, please read everything related to your job.
You are usually provided with:
Company policies.
Driver manual.
ELD manual.
ABS manual.
Transmission manual.
Owner manual.
Collision mitigation manual.
Trailer operation (reefer ) manual.
HOS regulations.
Pre-trip procedures.
How much hurt will it cause you to read them and ask questions
until you understand the equipment and the rules and regulations you'll operate under?Last edited: May 18, 2022

And when following the directions given to you by the company in one of those sources be prepared to be told, we don't do that anymore, or "what the He** is wrong with you?" Having a CDL means always being told "no, no, no, we don't do that".
