Learning the Rules of the Game

"I really didn't receive any instruction from my trainer." Did you ask for it? If you asked for it and he didn't deliver, you should have called your driver manager.[/QUOTE]
Why should a trainee have to ask his trainer for instruction? That's the whole point of being a trainer, to instruct new drivers how to safely manuever and back these monsters up. Sounds like another trainer that's just in it for the money. Thats half the problem with new drivers nowadays.

 

those 2 accidents are totally preventable, if you cant make a turn without hitting something you need to stop. I been seeing to many of these drivers coming out of school and getting into these accidents that should never happened. this is why am taking the winter off, not my driving its all the greenhorns out there. good luck drivers

 

If u have that luck turning left, please no right turns ecspecially from the inner lane!!

If you're not satisfied with the training and don't speak up, how is anyone else supposed to know? If you have to go to the bathroom and don't tell the trainer that you are bursting at the seams, how is the trainer supposed to know? It's one thing for a trainer to not allow you to use the restroom, but is it still the trainers fault if the trainee doesn't speak up?

 

dudette?lol

 

All this trucking school amd trainer stuff is a load of BULL****. When I started I had a 359 Peterbilt farm truck owned by my dad and a load of corn to haul to town. If I had wrecked that truck I better of hit whatever I hit hard enough to kill me cause dad would have. Many of us learned that way and not to sound (can't think of a word, but means not to talk myself up) but were better drivers. Plain and simple most of us didn't wreck our trucks ever. If you can't handle a truck you can't if you can you can.


So if me and others learned that way how come you have to go to trucking school have a trainer for months and STILL hit something ?!?!?!?!?!

 

Well, once upon a time, truckers used to be able to operate without having their hand held like overgrown children.

 

Do you ever check your mirrors while turning? Or your trainer?
