USX Training Issues

Thanks folks. Btw, this also applies to my fleet manager. I have NEVER yelled at him. If we are upset I tease him and make a joke. I then finish each of those calls or emails with the same phrase "at least Anne still likes you"

We average about 6000 miles a week and we love the guy. We have heard from other teams that hate him. I am pretty sure the difference is our attitude.

 

Good luck to you...And Craig I'm in your home state.

 

i think nococraig has the right idea.If you yell and get mad nothing gets done other than saying things u will regret later, why not joke around a little and be respectfull an figure out a middle ground solution. going to put in my ap for xpress either friday or monday.

 

I really hope this is a better experience! Good luck

 

Sounds like USX hired more new folks than they can train well, including trainers. It's a pattern I'm seeing on many of the forum threads. I just wish companies would realize they are not helping their situation by doing that. It's better to have a well-trained workforce than a huge workforce of under-trained folks. I hope things work out for you, HD. You deserve it. USX deserves good employees like you.

 

You're totally spot on. Part of an effective training program - a very critical part - is indoctrinating new employees to "the way" of the company. If the trainer is not well-seasoned, and it sounds like yours wasn't, there is no way the trainee will get the best OJT and will probably depart. That becomes very expensive for the company and does not help their reputation in the long term.
