    I wish this was a reality tv show... that is about the size of it. This guy is a real caveman and one minute he he is telling me about brawls and what a bad boy he is... like i I am supposed to be impressed and the next he is crying about how badly he is being treated and how the company forces him to train IDiots like me who don't care about anyone because I miss a sign... and I take responsibility but between it being my first day out of school in the open road...and driving at night...and keeping the trailer in the lanes. ..
    But he said he is kicki ng me out and I am holding him to it and he said he had it with Prime and that I made him quit the company and I am holding him to that too... when I talk tomorrow to the dispatch manager I am going to tell him that he told me he quit several times as he whined and complained... to qualcom him his letter of resignation
    There has been so much yelling and anger from his part and the truck is a hazmat bio disaster and I am going to have to throw away my clothes because the stench of stale smoke will never come off
    Now I sound like him...he is somewhere gambling. .. pm me if you have anywhere suggestions or want to chat...
    Trucking is cool though.

    Sounds like a fun guy. Learn how to drive from him and move on.

    If you really do love it, don't badmouth the guy too much. Just ask for another trainer. You don't want to come off as someone who complains when they can't handle or don't like dealing with a difficult person... Trucking is full of difficult people

    How much longer do you need to finish training ? The next guy could b worse ! If safety is not a issue try to stick it out . You still think trucking is cool than you may enjoy your new chosen path ! Good luck

    Did you tell management at Prime yet? Call them next time he's out of the truck taking a dump or something. Tell them you are really enjoying your new career but want a new trainer. Best of luck.

    I think safety might be an issue because he makes me so nervous with his anger fits and he does not tell me how to approach difficult situations and when I ask him he gets mad and says I am an idiot and does not answer... like we were in this six degree declines and I asked for instructions and he got really pissed off and yelled... I dont care...just dont kill me....and then when I dealt with it the best I could he went crazy on me
