Why do you even become a trainer ? WHY

Even though I have a less than stellar opinion about Werner, I will say that I was the lucky driver who was paired with a very decent trainer. The guy was professional at all times, let me do most of the work in an effort to reduce the long training-hour requirement (275 mandatory training hours during my Werner "externship" after an 18 week cdl school in Las Vegas), and was an actual people-person whose interests included seeing me complete the never-ending training program at Werner. My trainer was also awarded "trainer of the quarter" before I was assigned my first truck.

It has been beaten for the longest time how some people are just not cut out for driving. The same could be said about training other drivers. Several people have asked me if I've ever considered training. The answer is always the same: I don't have enough experience behind the wheel to train, I still have alot to learn myself, I don't consider myself a teacher because I'm not really good at teaching, I don't want to train new drivers for the money, and if I did train my BIGGEST goal is to produce the best trained and knowledgeable drivers, and not crank out idiotic steering-wheel holders and hope to increase my income. Simply put, I want to be the best while crafting the not so great into the greatest with a major emphasis on both safety and common-sense.

Here's my final say so on this topic: The trainers that are only in it for the money as well as running these trucks as team operations......you are not right at all, your training sucks, you aren't cut out to teach and train, and the training program at these trucking companies needs to be revamped.
