    I think you misunderstood.

    You got the jest of post one. I was just adding to it on the second. To point out a positive side to the same issue.

    While I have seen with my own eyes, many women with an axe to grind. For every bad one I meet, I meet a hundred that will actually look you in the eye, smile, and say thank you or hello at the appropriate moment.

    I would also think it a VERY sticky situation to put a woman with a man inside a tractor! EVEN IF man and woman were both business minded. There are several bad things that could happen.

    The man always being b****ed at because she always says he is wrong, the "ooo, look at the size of that shoping mall" scenario, the man's abdomen hurting because of holding in his farts, the woman arguing about directions, the "I gotta stop and pee" situation...........:biggrin_255:

    I had a great time teaming with my g/f. Well, except the "Werner SUCKS" part. I'd much rather she just ride along with me and it would be better still if she could drive whenever, but not have to.

    In Febuary of last year I was posting on this site. I was GOING to WERENER. I have been here over a year now and started training for them. I make good money and I drive an 07 Pete 387. I am very happy with Werner. Just take your time learning all you can. Don't let them push you around or push you into training right away. Get a full year "all 4 seasons" under your belt.

    I am glad to hear you are having fun so far "black ice". Keep the stories coming.

    :biggrin_25519: The reason women don't want male trainers:

    The man always saying, "Wanna touch this?"; the incessantly long talks about why X football team will never win the superbowl; the woman's nose hurting because the man radiates his special blend of digestive gases repeatedly while he sleeps; the man never stopping to ask for directions; the "I can pee in the bottle and you can't... oops, dont pay any attention to that dribble on the floor, the bottle overflowed :biggrin_2553:" situation; him yelling at other drivers; and last but not least, "Hey, we have time to kill, you wanna touch this?" :biggrin_2551:

    I came back to Allentown this Friday, only 12 hours on a bus! Now, today, they have me preassigned a trainer. So I think I'm going on the road again today.

    Keep your fingers (and legs crossed if you have a male trainer :biggrin_25523:) crossed for me!

    Oh, people keep sending me PMs, but I can't answer til I have 50 posts. Dont think I'm ignoring you!

    Sounds like something didn't work out between you and your last trainer, right? Best of luck to you with your next one. I am going to their orientation this coming Friday and I am really scared. Would like to find a good, experienced trainer, preferably an o/o and/or running on a dedicated account. Was told that I can request a trainer that I know in advance and they can check his availability. Does anybody here know of a Werner trainer they can refer me to? I hope I don't have to interrupt my training because of problems with trainers. BTW, I am a female but I prefer a male trainer. Maybe that's because my experience with male trainers at Roehl was excellent! They were very respectful, professional, knowledgeable, patient, friendly, clean, and I felt pretty safe with them. If anybody here knows of a good Werner trainer, can you pm me, please? Thanks.

    Yo, I'm in Macon, ga. Don't drive for Werner anymore, but there are several guys living near me one I think is on a Home Depot account. I'll check in for you. Are you a smoker or non-smoker? In case he asks.
