"Ok, you're coming down Mounteagle at 90mph, 80k lbs and brakes on fire. Around a turn, you see a school bus stopped sideways in the middle of the road. On your right, a car with a family - 3 small children in the back. On your left, a car with 4 nuns. You can't get stopped for the bus or get around the cars. What now?"

That should make you popular.

 

Take out the nuns, they are prepared.

Once you get in trainers truck you'll be asking many questions and you won't need a list.observe everything he does and ask questions along the way.Taking notes will help too.

 

If your trainer has a clue, he has "rules" on his truck.
Ask him about those.

If he/she doesn't have any, get a new trainer. Yours has no clue how to train.
