    As a student it kinda is all about her lol. That should.be every trainers focus as soon as we new psd's hit your truck. Sad fact that a lot of the trainers ive seen are complete ####bags. I let some #### slide with my trainer because he can actually teach and he kept a positive environment in the truck those first couple days. But when the trainers think we owe them anything aside from learning, well thats where the problems arise. And its not an isolated incident, as I know of at least 4 other people who had to switch trainers. Thats out of this class of 45 people from 1 week......

    Thanks guys. Yes as a PSD it is all about me and me learning how to drive for cdl exam. That is why they get paid extra. I did what I was supposed to on the truck. I did not just sit back and be a passenger. I unhooked and hooked trailers. I helped fuel. I asked questions only to be told that I had an attitude because things in my training binder didn't match what he was telling me and I was there to learn what I was there to do. I stayed with the trainer through PSD and when when got on the backing pad the more questions I asked the more frustrated he became because his teaching style was different than my learning style. Sometimes you can't put people together based on smoking preference and location.
