No trainers available for North East

OO,Im going to Roehl after training and hope this just a hick up.
Where are you based from maybe it is not near most drivers.
I'm in Atlanta and Ellenwood terminal is close,is this going to be better?
If not were they ok with you jumping on with a trainer anywhere..Hell I'd go to him.Sitting around waiting would really suck..but I guess being around for Thanksgiving and Christmas wouldnt be so bad.
If you can give details,if under optimal cercumstances and you still had to wait well..crap..good luck to you.

 

Sometimes getting with a trainer can be difficult depending on where you live. We are at the mercy of frieght where we go. The company first and foremost is in business to move frieght, training is secondary, and sometimes is does take some time to get a student picked up. To compound the problem no one wants to train, most of the older drivers are getting out of the business, because of the changes that are happening, and most of the new guys comming in have no desire to do anymore than they have to. That has caused a shortage of trainers.

 

Makes sense,I'd go to the trainer if need be..lol
I see threads where O/Os are training and suspect it is mainly for
the team miles.Which is perfectly fine with me..I'll run to hell and back if
you teach me how...I have it set in my mind that its going to be hurry up and wait now..

 

They paid for a rental car to get me to my first trainer and I am sure they would be willing to do that for others as well if asked. I had to drive to Gary from Durham, NC but it got the job done

 

So they will get you to your trainer,I'm glad to hear that majestyk..
How do you like Roehl so far?Miles good?
They have that 14/7 program but I think I'm going to just run hard for the 1st yr.Is that wise?Ok to many questions..lol

 

Found your thread majestyk..I'll start reading it..It looks like a great read.

 

you can find my thread link to my other blog (address is located in the blog on this site) where I was able to post the last few months in regard to miles, etc. I couldn't figure out how to put a spreadsheet up here so had to put it up there. Yeah everything is going well so far, they keep me moving. Hope to be celebrating my birthday tonight with a big ### ribeye at the Gary terminal at least if the grocery store near there is open.

 

You'd think that somewhere in the process of deciding whether to hire a Northeasterner who needs training, they'd think "hmm, can we get a trainer up to the Northeast?"
