ROEHL BOUND... June 14th... Relief and excitement!

If you go to the Werner trucking website they have a pretty good explanation of how to use split breaking, not that hard.

 

Hanging up the training hat. I have had enough. Going to ride around solo for awhile and see if things are really as bad here as I think they are. The icing on the cake was dropping a student the day before thanksgiving 150 miles from home, then his wife had to drive half the night after working all day with a 5 year old to pick him up. What happened to getting students within 70 miles of home??? I have heard more stories of students dropped on ramps and rest areas than I care to talk about. It just goes to the center of my argument that Roehl has NO respect for their drivers.

 

wow.. all i can say to that PA is wow.. that screwed up bad! its sad that so many of yall good trainers are hanging it up and only crappy ones left.. i dont blame u but still... i know the first 3 i had during evo1 were real pieces of work.. my evo2 trainer couldnt have been better.. great guy and he is the one that taught me what i know and i still talk to him all the time.

 

I know that out of my four trainers 3 hung it up and went back to running as a solo. These were the 3 good ones.

 

Well I'm finishing up my orientation tomorrow morning and I'll be waiting for a trainer for my eval 1. I came on here looking for some encouragement because I am a little scared, this is a HUGE change for me, but then I read the above posts and I'm discouraged. I hope I don't get dropped of 150 miles from home because I don't have anyone to come pick me up.

 

furthest i ever was from home on dropoff was about 40 miles. i would think it had alot to do with ur home location as well.. but i dont really know.. im sure u will do fine. just remeber if u are having problems with thee trainer. call the office and let them know more times then not they will get u a different one.

 

Well after a 30 minute long meeting in Marshfield they want me to take a "break" from training. Then make a decision about what I want to do. I did get to air my complaints, and I think they listened, question is will it do any good. Training people who really do want to do this job is a good time, it is the people who are here because they won't get unemployment checks anymore if they don't try something, they are the ones that make me crazy. I wish there was a way to make people understand what this job is all about. I love to drive, as long as they give me something to haul and just leave me alone. So I got my "new" old truck back, I was in a loaner cause the tranny took a crap. Go figure. So now I ride around solo til after the first of the year. Maybe by then I will have regained enough of my sanity to try training again.

 

yea im headed to marshfield myself for truck work this weekend and into monday. i have a meeting myself monday but its for myself lol.. get to go see my "new" truck for the first time and get any work done thats needed to the new one. i switch over to L/O the first week of Jan 2011.
