bad swift mentor BEWARE

Look bottom line is, should of, could of, would of, but didn't.

This situation of living within 5 feet of a stranger is unique to Drivers and pilots, but even pilots get brakes.

This creates a situation that is very difficult on the very best day, I would hesitate calling either one a jerk or worse.

Real bottom line is maybe your husbands place is actually home with you. Maybe he feels guilty for not being where he feel he should be, causing a situation that is not resolvable with the trainer.

Theres alot of stuff your husband is battling with mentally and maybe physically. I have been there done that, and trained alot of drivers some female some male and I know very few of them were cut out for this life style, and even the one who are have alot of adjusting to do. Much easier to handle as a solo driver.

You know there are some people that just do not belong together. I have had cubs want to kick my butt because I would not let them smoke in the truck or trailer, or because I insisted they take a shower after unloading baby formula in Dallas during the month of August.... Just people are different and until he's assigned to his own tractor he's going to have to man up and deal with it.

 

Are you Thai?

 

Butterfli, I think alot of people gave you good advice and most were nice about it. I know your upset. But your last post isn't neccessary. You say you arent afraid to express yourself, neither are they. No one should have to be afraid to do that. You may not agree or like all the opinions you see, thats life. Don't let it get you upset, take the advice that you feel will work for you and forget the rest.

 

Yep, sounds like a good plan to me too, Cookie!!

 

Interesting...I offered sound advice, so did others, some of us let you know how Swift operates from within, all advice given was an attempt to give you a better understanding of what was available to you in this situation.

But after this "challenge and threat", I now wonder who is actually the one calling the shots in the family. It sounds like you are the boss and have everything done YOUR way...and only YOUR way. but if hubby is anything like you, or follows your lead like a whipped puppy, it could easily be that he IS the problem on the Mentors truck. And since you weren't there when these incidents happened, only taking the words of your husband for the details of what actually happened...perhaps the husband exaggerates and makes up stories to impress or get the sympathy of boss lady wife.

In any case...your tirade was uncalled for and actually insulting to all of the posters here who offered you help and advice. You, maybe, should come down off that high horse you like to perch on, and one day your threat won't be ignored or passed off, but some trucker won't be so kind and will take you up on your offer to kick a--, and your a-- will be the one trying to get up off the ground!

Don't ask for help or vent on others unless you are willing to accept advice offered from those who know...unlike you who don't know!

 

A good woman is a good woman...No matter where she's from!
My wife is Indonesian and sounds just like the O/P!
I have respect for any woman that stands by her man without question.

As far as the whole Swift thing goes...All of the mega carriers that have training programs have horrible trainers as well as good ones...
It sounds like her husband got ane of the "cliche" bad trainers that we all hear about from time to time.

I hope it works out for him in the long run.

 

True...but does she pat his head or knock him in the head? I can't see Cat bossing you around...however certain things can be achieved by Cat saying things like "I have a headache"!

 

She can have all the headaches, she wants to...I can HANDle it!
