New trucker, bad training, bad CSA, ###### outta luck ?!?

That story sucks! Sounds like you were thrown to the wolves.

If I was in your position and were serious about getting another job, I would check in to one of the companies that may clear your DAC.

I don't know anything about clearing a DAC but if it's anything like clearing a credit report it might help.

Edit:

After doing that, I have no clue.

You may still need to get on with a training company. Someone reputable.

 

england maybe or werner might bring you on i really dont know on that

 

Try Schneider. I had the same thing happen to me at Werner. Schneider gave me another chance at trucking with the understanding that if I hit anything, I was fired. I've been at Schneider for 8 months now without incident.

The key is to only use the GPS as a tool and to always GOAL if you have the slightest inkling that you might hit anything. My advice is to apply at multiple places and to be honest with potential employers. They have ways to finding everything out anyway, so be truthful upfront. Good luck driver.

Thats too many accidents. Never back up if you cant see where your trailer is! Dont prove nothing to nobody, if you got to pull front and back 20 times? do it! if you think you should nose in, do it! but three accidents, wow, and they kept you as a rookie to watch a video after your second hit and still came back with a third? try more training and call the bottom feeders. Good luck driver.

 

well hope you find a company that will hire you. the company i run for actually uses qualcomm logs but no navigation and ive grown to love it because it makes me think at all time. it makes guys get out the ol' atlas and actually look at it. i use my atlas so much now and also google maps has helped me a ton.

 

Unless you have x-ray vision and can see through the trailer, you're never going to see whats on both sides of it. I also disagree with 20+ pull-ups. Granted you will ensure you won't hit anything, you are also going to hold up everyone else. If the OP does leave USExpress for another company, he's gonna need to start over again from square 1.

 

That's total BS. They tried that with me also, but I stood my ground and guess what? 2 days later I had the n/s female trainer I had requested. When I first saw her, I thought "OMG, what have I goten myself into"(she's like 6'/240 lbs & looked a little intimidating), but, she was the best trainer EVER. Patient, never raised her voice, showed me how to route (because the navigation isn't always accurate or working) & utilize my time properly, allowed me to think thru how I got in a situation and how I was going to get myself out of it. Only if I couldn't figure it out would she give me hints. A couple times she had to take over and fix my problem, but most of the time I could do it with her guidance.
A girl I met in orientation had the same type of experiences you did. 3 trainers-1st one basically never let her drive & yelled at her all the time, 2nd one was a transgender who was flaky as all get out, 3rd one "fell in love" with her and held her hostage on his truck. She had to call the police to get him to let her off. She was so shaken by all this, she left the field altogether without ever experiencing life on the road.
As for your backing, after the first time they should have pulled you in for some training time. Like the others have said, you will likely have to go somewhere that has training. Good luck to you!

 

So why did'nt you tell your second trainer you wanted this training to be strickly professional after the first move he made on you?Far as the trainer is concerned,he probably thought you liked his textes because you did'nt say otherwise.If you have a sexual harrassment issue,you tell your company immediately,not after you get back to the terminal.
