Just finished my 5 week training period. Had a ? Concerning issue at weigh station.

He's the so-called trainer; he made the call not to weigh the load.

He signed the bills and accepted the load, not you!

 

All you get is the Bill Of Lading that has an approximate weight. Doesn't mean a thing; those BOL's are notorious for showing less weight than is actually loaded on the trailer.

 

Technically, they are right. Now if the company hammers you , you will have to defend yourself and fight it. Too many trainers are abusing the trainees and getting away with it, especially Werner and CR England.

 

I am Not your trainer. Circus train Monkeys. Make it happen, or live another life. You are. I can teach you to drive. I can't teach you to respect.

 

Were you able to get the axle weight right at the scales? If not, then refuse to drive the truck and let the trainer do his job by making the truck legal.

 

I would also ask your company for a new trainer asap! What he did was not only unprofessional but he threw you under the bus...er truck!! It would have been easier (and required of him) during each major evolution such as picking up and delivery to have waken you. Im sure that if you were awake you would have questioned him on weighing the load. Gosh Bro, $2100? thats a lot on you and you didnt make the mistake.....smh

And how convient was it that he decided to change drivers right before the weigh station? :smt017
