Said i'd never do this......

Are you going to mentor the correct way, i.e., actually teaching what a new driver needs to survive OTR, or the wrong (who gives a ##### about the trainee, I just want the money) way? Eyes are watching you. Go get 'em, Dick!

 

Well, when he says he doesn't really want to do it but will "break down" and do it. That should answer that question.

 

You'll make a good dick, I mean mentor !!!!!

 

In other words, you are going to act like a Dick? jk

 

I have always said there are four stages to being a driver...

1. Learning the basics in the "school" environment.
2. Being with the trainer/Mentor getting the "beyond basics" basics.
3. Initial solo time.
4. Becoming the teacher in "beyond basics".

It will actually amaze some as to how much the "new trainer/Mentor" will learn as a teacher. The hardest part is figuring out how to say the exact same thing four or five different ways so the student will comprehend what the lesson is actually teaching. Just don't get frustrated when they don't understand...and another "blue shirt" casually walks up and says the same thing switching the word order and the students light went on!

Dick...I am sure you will do just fine...besides on the Wal Mart dedicated, you will obviously get plenty of backing/docking...which is the biggest part of training that is often left out or at least not given enough attention.

 

Oh Dick...why do you always leave such easy openings!!!!
