Husband almost done with Mentor, question about more experience....

Hi, well, it's been a long almost 4 weeks now. His first mentor lost him because he got two safety citations. His 2nd mentor is an owner/operator. He is very lazy and doesn't wear his seat belt. He has damaged his own equipment three times so far. He asked him to go off the clock while he was sitting in traffic due to an accident. It ended up being about a 3 hour sit... Just I'm sure tip of the ice on what happens on the truck with your mentor. So, my husband feels good about driving but knows that the learning continues because there is so much to know. What I wondered is if he could drive with someone as a team driver for a month or two after this? Is there any way to request that from your DM, or if not who would you try and request that from?

Be nice now, if your just a troll find a different thread!

 

He didn't say he wasn't ready. He is. It would just be a nice option until he learns more. Like I said, don't just pop in with negative. I think that someone who has been driving only 200 hours and recognizes that they have more to learn is a smart thing. Also, he drove OTL 20 years ago for 2 years.

 

He was in the drivers seat, you can't go off the clock when you are sitting in traffic. DUH

 

This is clearly a waste of my time. I wanted to try and have respect for you all but I don't.

 

BTW, your an idiot to think that anyone wouldn't go off the clock if they were sitting around not working... WOW
