    Hey There

    I am with werner and on my 3 week in the training and only have about 2 more weeks to go before i test out.

    I like to get som real answers as i am lost about how to handle this problem.

    I am with a trainer that hardly sleep, he sleeps about 3 to 5 hours a day, he yells and screams and treating me almost everyday.

    I do make mistakes and i do learn from them but nomatter how small a mistake i make he turns it into something mayor and goes off the wall every single time.

    I have tried to get hold of my SDM but can´t tried to call safety and they can´t/wont help me unless i am in danger at the time i call, so i am lost.

    This trainer wants to get out of training and cant for some reason and if he loses enough trainess they will take him off as a trainer so he makes my life hell on earth.

    What do i do now? i believe that i have tried everything to get a new trainer but noone wants to talk to me.

    Please dont answer unless you have something real to say as i have enough BS in my life rigth now.

    Clumben call your sdm first thing in the morning on mon. There wont be anyone working in the student dept. till morning. Safety will only remove a student after hours or on the weekend if there is a immediate danger to the student. If you dont feel safe to drive or dont feel safe with this trainer get to a safe haven (ie. truck stop, rest area) and stop and get out of the truck. The trainer cannot leave you unless he has the safety dept ok. They will most likely tell him to stop and call safety in the the morn. But be ready to explain to the student dept or safety your reasons that you did not feel safe continuing with this trainer.

    I have tried the last week or so to get hold of my SDM and without luck.

    I dont think its right for anyone to only sleep a few hours everyday when you drive a rig.

    Right now i am safe can´t say much why or how as i dont know if my trainer are on this site or not and if i say tomuch it migth get worse.

    If you want to you can always send me a private message

    Have you ever tried standing up for yourself? Bullies will often turn tail and run if you threaten them back.

    I know what I would do, and it involves their neck and my boot.

    Hey it sucks to hear that but this is what you have to do this usually works..send a message that you want to go home... They will remove you from the truck, and give you another trainer. Or just call driver relations they will make it happen on a heart beat

    i talked to safety one night when i was in a motel and they would not help as i was not in danger at the time i called them "call us back when you are in danger next time" was all i got from them before it was over.

    Then i called this friday to my SDM and then to safefy and could not get any signal and when i did get it noone answered my call.

    Call your SDM first thing Monday morning. Tell them about the trainer not sleeping and how he's been abusive to you.

    No one should have to put up with that kind of abuse. Keep us updated.

    I'm going with Werner when I get my CDL this week. Hope it works out for you.
