2 preventable Accidents on Trainer’s truck

Where was your trainer during these accidents?

 

Oh my Gosh, you should do yourself and find a better company ASAP. 40 hrs solo is nowhere near enough time to be prepared to run a training team. Especially in the middle of winter. As far as your trainer being a cool dude, its not about being friends. Their job is to make sure to train you to the best of their abilities, and help you avoid potential costly mistakes.

Worse case scenario, you re driving on snowy and icy roads and you have a moment, and your trainer is in the bunk sleeping, then what?

I m not here to bash you by any means. I want to see you succeed, and having trainer like that isn t worth it

 

1st one he was awake, but talking to another truck driver

2nd one he was asleep because we were rolling as a team then

 

Do you have a CDL?
Are you under contract?

 

Did they actually fire you? I doubt they will, but I don’t really know the situation, so…

Is it possible to just ride it out here, and be EXTRA careful (I know you were careful before, not saying you weren’t) for awhile (like, the rest of your career) and mend the situation at your current employer?

 

Thanks, I really want to succeed because I love trucks, and I’m in debt because of my training.

 

I m scared to even ask how long OPs trainer been in trucking

 

I paid for a CDL because I didn’t feel like being tied down via contracts

 

3 years, he has been in a few accidents himself he has been with Trans Am, PAM, SWIFT(lol sorry I had to), and Covenant Transport as my trainer.

 

Which company are you with now? Covenant?
