I'll start this thread telling you what my worst experiences were with a trainer. He drove a freightliner and he was so fat the shop had to take the steering wheel off and set part of it on the dash to get his big ##### belly from steering the truck.
We had left a truck stop and were about 2 miles down the road when my trainer looked at me and said, " i'm in trouble ". Well, being new i thought he was being pulled over so I start looking in the mirrors for cops, instead he pulls off the interstate onto a road that ran parallel to it, gets out and walks around my side of the truck, takes his pants and underwear down and gets under the trailer and takes a ####e. Doesn't wipe cause he has short arms and huge belly, can't reach his ##### just pulls his pants back up gets in the truck and takes off. When we pulled away I could see the pile he left, they will have to pave over it to get rid of it.
That night when it was my turn to drive, I knew everytime he turned over in his sleep cause all I could smell was raw a@@. Drove with the windows down part way even though it was winter. He was a nice guy and strick but good trainer. He used to open the curtain if he heard the rpms get too low and say, were not going to make it, speed up, that was in the 90 's, I think he's dead now.
Nasty trainers

There is NFW I could deal with someone like that...I don't care how much knowledge he could impart, disgusting people like that need an island to live on so they can gross each other out...I'm soooooo glad I chose Watkins so I didn't have to deal with a trainer...
-
So what company?
-
That's classic
-
my trainer was a great guy as well very knowledgeable but lets just say we had to stay in a hotel every night in separate rooms due to his hygiene i learned alot from that guy

A&W trucking, was bought out by Epes around 2000 or so. They were purple and blue trucks, purple people eaters was their nickname.

When I was in training, my guy was a 2 million miler with CFI and a hell of a trainer but I don't think he'd showered since the first million. He smelled like rotting fruit, that sickening sweet rotten smell. He always wondered 1 why I wouldn't hit the buffet with him and 2 why I showered every day.
I've never been so glad to get out of a truck in my life. -
I pray to God I don't have to deal with that
..But If I had to I would look at the bright side its only temporary, the trainer is good then wipe Vicks vapor rub in my nose.

My trainer was a neat freak. Very clean cut and professional. We still talk to this day...10 years later. Now I laugh at him for staying with Schneider for 18 years! Then he reminds me I stayed for four years and of course mentions he's never more than three months away from a weeks paid vacation. Wiseguy....

Im with dna mach, neat freak might not be the word but he was clean, made time to stop for showers and was a really good trainer. I feel bad for those of you who get the fat, smelly, disgusting trainers.
