    Stand outside in the cold? Not happening. Open the door and climb on in. He knows he has a student. Not like it's some big unexpected surprise.

    When I was with my trainer @ Wener I was highly advanced compared to what he had to deal with. After my observation hours, we basically ran teams on Just In Time loads. Our pact or code was to leave your shoes up in the pass anger side so if they were gone you knew he was out of the truck or vice versa. He shouldn't be whacking his tally whacked back there if that's what your getting at lmao!!! All 3's on my report card, and very high praise. He even said thank you and that he caught up and was able to rest peacefully the time we spent together.

    Never er at any time should you feel obligated to not get in that truck whener you want. You should have a key, and make noise before you climb in back so he puts his little weeny away and then go to bed. He'll fall asleep again.

    Geez I feel bad now, thinking you had driven and the curtain was closed. Now, as for the garbage can? maybe that's you pot to pee in? Or other self defecating human waste? Maybe it is the "old sock on the door knob" signal.

    Geez dude, I built your confidence up and shot you down, all in a matter of minutes. My bad, can you ever forgive me? If not, then that's ok, I'll understand, really*sniff* I will, *sniff-sniff*

    So what's the sleeping arrangement in this truck ? Double bunk I assume, which means you get to climb in your bunk at will…..too bad if team mate is not ready, I say !

    You say your trainer is nice so then go to him with this issue. Sounds like he loves his music so he respecting you by closing the curtains while he's listening to it.He also may be watching dvds playing video games or surfing the net.You're going to have to respectfully suck it up till you go solo.I highly doubt hes doing anything wrong.Far as standing outside freezing,whos fault is that?
     
    G.Anthony and Lucar Thank this.

    Is the truck rocking and animal noises coming from the sleeper?

    Your trainer shouldn't place you in a situation like that. You are there for a purpose not to be ignored.. if your trainer is say changing clothes for brief moment that's another. thing.. communicate .. what's going on ?

    If you're stopped, then just yell and say you're going to bed.
    No reason for you to do anything else.
