    Call your FM and request a different trainer. Never put yourself in a situation where you feel unsafe. And do not let some guy take advantage of you and make your life a living hell when theres better trainers out there waiting for a student.

    If you are with an instructor. Call your FM asap. PSD students are not supposed to drive during the night AT ALL.

    As for the reefer. That will come with time. It bothered me at first too, but after awhile you feel awkward without it on.

    Good luck, keep us posted.

    Trainer or instructor? If you are a student there are time limits on when you can drive. I think between 1900-0500 for the first couple weeks.

    If you dont feel safe, call safety. Call the training dept. and discuss it with them... Switchboard will connect you if you call the main number.

    Id say call your dispatcher but they sometimes take the intructor's word over the student. Sad to say, but the dispatcher has a working relationship with the guy and if that is good, he doesnt know otherwise is possible.

    Call safety or the training dept. Or both. You shouldn't be treated like that.
