    Nobody wants to admit they are a chump lol. Can't afford wipers, no money in the bank (probably, why wouldn't you use a debit card or hit a atm), can't afford to stop the truck long enough to put it in the shop to get the cel checked out, dragging seat meat around to run miles as a "trainer".....your story checks out sir, he is definitely a fleece purchase operator lol.

    You know he is, or he would not have a trainee in his truck, would you?
    IF I had the right mindset to be a trainee, it would be in a company truck. period.

    I did. I was told that they can pull me off the truck, however it will take weeks to find a new trainer. They left it up to me to decide.

    I already waited almost 2 months. I can’t afford to wait again so I’m going to just stick it out and use the forum for info.

    I am willing to bet that most companies have so many requests for new trainers, that it is pretty much ignored anymore.

    OP, you say its two more weeks......gut it out man. If you're not comfortable then you can always let the company know, and they'll put you with someone else. I saw a guy do that once back when I got started. To be honest, I should have done the same thing.

    Besides, that if they did give you a new trainer, there is always the chance that he or she would make this one look like the best ever. lol

    Its an automatic truck ! Might as well drive itself , right?? , stupid trainers... There is alot of good advice on how to get down mountains on this forum, its a little bit easier in an auto , but still can be dangerous if u dont know how.

    Unfortunately it sounds like he sucks at being a trainer. But I’m sure he knows a few things that may help you.

    Just watch
    Say yes. Got it
    And in the back of your mind envision you peeling all the skin off of him, tying him to a stake, pouring honey all over him. Oh all of this was done on top of a massive fire ant mound.

    What does a man do? He provides. At any cost
