    Easy sometimes you make lifelong friends out on the road and you will miss them. Hell I have not driven in 15 Years almost now do to Medical Reasons yet my only trainee that I passed out of 5 I trained OLD School Style is still one of my closest Friends in the World. He Shocked me a couple weeks ago when he was nominated for Driver of the Month at his Carrier and said I would not have even been Considered for this without my Trainer that taught me so well all those Years ago. He now trains at his Carrier and Trains people Just Like I TRAINED HIM meaning he teaches them what they need to LEARN not just how to hold the Wheel. I was taught that by my Father I passed it on to this man he is teaching the Next Generation. At least someone is trying to break the SWH menace out there. He even refuses to let his Trainees use a GPS they must use a Atlas for Trip Plans.
