Pissed at my school

I always found it funny to see people with zero experience tell people with decades of experience how they needed to be trained.

I would see people gripe and moan that they didnt get enough time behind the wheel in training, then when they get it...they complain that its too much time, they need a break, they cant keep focused that long.

Students gripe that they only get to drive one truck in school, they want more experience, then when they get in a different truck they gripe that it doesnt drive the same as the other truck they trained in.

In the end, being a bellyacher gets you no where in this business. Dealing with whatever comes your way in a calm and professional manner and providing solutions instead of problems...thats what will get you places in this business.

 

As far as moving the trailers, I wouldn't be surprised if the school wasn't allowed to move roehl's equipment. I'm sure their insurance company would have a #### fit. Also, how would they explain that they damaged one of them.

As far as backing in the mud.. Like a lot of people have said, that's the real world. And it gets much worse than bad mud in a drop lot.

Those roehl guys are dropping their trailers there right? They're backing in there. That's the real world.

Just take it as a learning experience and move on. If you're upset since you've wasted a day of training that you paid for.. Yeah, that sucks. But at least you got in a truck and had some drive time even if it wasn't ideal. During my time in school, dmv decided to inspect them. Shut down the school for a day and you can bet none of us got a refund or the training extended. We just sat in the parking lot and watched them look at the trucks.

 

Dear Deviant,

I'm Betting you ONLY BACK UP in the DAYLIGHT too!!!

Sorry, TRUCKING HAPPENS IN ALL KINDS OF WEATHER and LIGHT CONDITIONS!!!
While also True You are JUST LEARNING and PRACTICING the SKILL OF BACKING, the ADVERSITY you are WHINING ABOUT is GOOD PRACTICE...

And IF you get the SCHOOLS TRAILER OR TRUCK STUCK..... YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR THE WRECKER!!!

Suck it up. Learn from the Experience. And Thank The School and your Instructors!!!
