    Are you kidding? Have you seen some of these drivers after they have been "trained"?

    By the way. I don't have a problem with you. There's someone miserable like you on every forum. You continue to misread what I say.... And how was i to know I need to call the company for his hometime? They mentioned ahead of time trainers get hometime. I'm still new at this crap. Didn't know I had to call the company for everything.

    Where you say the trainer should have put you up. Is where I've heard mix things....I was told by another trainer "as long as you have 24hr access"

    I always stayed in the truck when my trainer did a drive by his house unless it was official home time then I took home time too. But I never had to hang out for more than one night.

    Hope things are better after you either talked to you trainer about your concerns or called in to request a different trainer.

    Stay Safe,

    He may not have known exactly where you were but he should be aware of how your training is going, or not going.

    There's blame to go around. Hopefully things get on track now. Keep us updated.

    Best of luck.

    Well so far so good. No stupid audiobook and I got some miles lastnight. Had a talk with him and we're on the same page (For now) but I have an Ace in my pocket for another trainer.

    Got 545 lastnight after waiting to be loaded. And the leg pain seem to get better with the new butt pad and seat adjusted better. It's the Extreme wonder gel. So it's going to need trimmed down.
    We deliver today 400mi away and it's a straight shot and drop. So may get another 500+ for today.
