Smoking in truck while training

You can request a non-smoking trainer.

 

It does stink to high heaven don't it. I can't believe that's how I smelled when I smoked

 

In actual driving school, probably not. After you get to a company and head out with a trainer, yes, you can get with a non smoker of that's your preference.

 

Definitely. There are plenty of trainers at any company that don't smoke.

 

It depends. Some of these mega companies don't really care what you want as long as you do as you are told. They will let you ask, and then tell you "sorry it didn't work out", when they really ain't sorry. The company I'm with has 3 trainers. 2 on our van/reefer fleet, and one on our flatbed fleet. The flatbed trainer, is me, and I do not smoke. I used to, but quit years ago. So, new guys who smoke have to take it outside. On the flipside, back when I did smoke, if my new guy didn't, I didn't do it while in the truck. I cleaned my truck well enough, and often enough, that while the lingering smoke may have been noticeable, it wasnt overpowering. So, depending on what company you chose, and choses you, yes you will or no you won't get a non smoking trainer.

 

What's worse is when people put the butts in their pockets lol. I can smell that from a mile away
