wife of a new trucker

Maybe someone will cut & paste your comments to an email and send to Crete, without them knowing who you are. That trainer probably has had problems in the past.

 

I know someone that was trained and drove for crete a couple years. She tells me company very family orientated and loved it. Made a good income as well. Like some of the posts above, I believe this trainer needs to be reported and your husband needs a new one. As a trainer at times myself, the last thing I want is my trainee not focused on the task at hand, learning. Instead thinking about how things are going at home, mental distraction. As a wife to a new born trucker I give this advice, Quality time spent together will always trump quantity.

 

Actually that's not a bad idea, I think I'm going to email someone that might have a way to do that, a few rungs up the ladder at that.

 

if your hubby is having problems tell him to switch trainers this happens all the time if all else fail "you" can call the company and complain to the driver manager or dispatcher and they should be able to help you. dont be afraid to call they usually help

 

welcome and good lock

 

his trainer is the equal not his boss but I'm glad it worked out for you communication with your husband is key to being able to be a otr truck driver

 

just know it's not because he doesn't want to he does he's just the position right now with your training that training takes priority I try to call my wife as often as possible and it will get easier as a training goes alongwhat people ask me what it's like to be a truck driverI tell if it's like being in prison respect those days by yourself sometimes not talk to many people and you have to concentrate on what you're doing . with a lot of time to just sit think it can drive you crazy

 

I'm doing this while driving down the road on my talk to text so it looks like I have bad grammar lol
