    Got stuck with an alcoholic instructor, Left on Saturday.
    Got Pennsylvania on the following Saturday Instructor took home time until thrusday. We headed back to Springfield got there Monday.
    Instructor had to take smiths class because he ran a stop light in florida. Was suppose to go to the pad to practice backing. Didn't get to the pad until thursday. Practiced for 2 hours then was informed by instructor he was gonna go swimming and we would come back later in the evening.

    5:00 came around I went to the MB to eat dinner and then walked over to the pad to talk to other instructors and watch other students practicing backing. 6:00 Instructor calls asking me where the F I was. I told him, he got pissed that I didn't wait for him I guess said he'd be over there in a few, showed up around 7:30 drunk. running his mouth and talking ####. I parked truck and walked away from him.

    Next morning got up went to MB to request a new instructor, found out my instructor had already ran over there and told them I was not showing up to the pad to cover his own ###.

    Was informed to go to the pad and wait for a new instructor. I waited from 8am till noon then went back over to the campus inn. Told go back to MB to east conference they found me a new instructor, get there they say wont work he has to go pick up a load to hang around the pad they will find another one.

    Then was informed I would have to go back out for 2 weeks with a new instructor because they dont think the alcoholic intructor i had did his job properly.
    I stay at the pad the rest of the evening till dinner around 6:30 I ate then went back to campus inn.
    I go to the pad the next day, to the mb, back to the campus inn, see my alcoholic instructor that they told me they felt he didn't properly teach me with a new student loading his things into the truck.

    Sunday comes no new instructor most everyone has left with an instructor so i took my ### home.

    Went to the DMV on my own, tested out got my cdl and a local job for Anheuser Busch. :biggrin_25520:

    Techman, if any joker hassles you, or causes a problem for you send me a PM and I'll help you get the right help in management.

    I will be in Springfield next week starting Monday morning.

    Wartog, worry about yourself, your own training and no one will have a problem.

    The post her are not helping anyone on help to make a important decision to make i think if you want to answer questions in stead of just running the company down that would be a lot more informative .

    Testosterone is getting the better of them. (Just trying to lighten the mood, fellas!)

    To answer your question, I don't think that FB is going to the L/W in general for the fleet. I think that the few that have lw's may be either 1) testing them for suitability, or 2) that's all their was on the lot when they upgraded. Sometimes, the choice is: wait till we get a truck, or take what's here. Keep in mind, I could be WRONG. But I, like ORD, don't think there is quite enough space on the LW to carry the equipment FB requires. I'm not going to make a comment one way or another as to the suitability of the DD13 vs DD15 (Cascadia) because the reefer trucks are pulling up the sides of mountains with full loads.
