im my trainers first trainee...... Need Advice!!!

Trainers have to start somewhere. I mean most don't pop out of their mommas with a general lee radio in one hand and a 18 speed shift knob in the other like I did, c'mon beeeak!

 

This must be CRE..?..get used to it..learn the Qualcomm..don't lease, and run away in 90 days.

Im not even going to wish you good luck..I'll wish myself good luck that you don't side swipe me in a parking lot.

 

im sorry but thats funny!!!!

 

Wouldn't you make more $$ and have the required miles done quicker if the truck was ran as a team? More miles=More $$ or at least I think that's the name of the game called trucking!!

 

Don't be a job hopper; look at the big picture, the training isn't forever.

 

Drive all you can and get your own truck as fast as u can.....jmo

 

Team driving on day 2?? Is your trainer o.k. with running like a team operation so soon, or is the DM the only one pressuring you two to do that? I know I wouldn't be able to sleep with a fresh out of school trainee behind the wheel for at least a couple of weeks until I experienced the trainee's driving habits. I believe that a trainer/trainee operation should be just that, a trainer TEACHING a trainee, NOT team driving, EVER! Your trainer SHOULD be teaching you, you're a student. I believe other posters are right, sit down with your trainer and talk to him about what exactly he expects from you.

 

Sorry only read the original question but from what I understand teaching is training I mean if he is letting you know specifics and spends a lot of time on lets say pre trips and saftey things that is a trainiers job yah as a trainer myself I could just hop in the seat and say screw it drive while I eat a burger and fall asleep HMM that is what my trainer did anyways OUR job is to teach you our knowledge and a traininer the first time out will be nervous and may over stress some things but just listen after all you are the student..Not a good idea for a new driver to already be making a big stink over something small its a way to gain a bad reputaion in the industry theres a reason they trust some people to be trainers

 

Love the CRE comment I was thinking swift but anyways

 

That dang trainer is teaching instead of sleeping in the bunk? Oh the horrors
