orientation January 2nd

Moose... your instructor is trying to maximize his "take" off of you being on his truck. The longer you're there, the more he makes in instructional pay. Call your FM.

 

His bonus only lasts 4 weeks

 

Sounds like he's a terrible instructor. He might be awesome at his job, but there are some people who are very capable of doing, but not so good at teaching. I ran into them frequently in the EMS world. Sounds like he may be one of those guys. Good luck talking to your FM and hopefully getting on a truck where you can learn!

 

Hopefully everything gets straighten out ASAP I no be pissed if I was in your situation and then on top had someone yelling at me over messages didn't know how to answer

 

There's a huge difference between a "top earner" and a "good instructor." Call your FM, get a new instructor - don't let this get ya down. If your FM doesn't do you justice with a new trainer, then call Stan Auman at Prime's main number. I guarantee that'll shake the tree a bit - he doesn't take crap from instructors or FMs more concerned about money than their jobs.

 

I would take IP's advise & act quick. By my 3rd day I was driving 400+ miles.

 

I can attest that if you shake the tree things get done. I know a driver that had a problem and could not get any help at the bottom, so he went to the top if the chain and guess what, problem resolved. I have to say I wad impressed with Robert Low. Good luck man don't let them push you around and communicate, that how you get results.

 

Moose that truly sucks I don't understand that how are you suppose to learn how to drive if you never drive hope everything changes for you
