2 preventable Accidents on Trainer’s truck

While very awesome, that is not shaving your balls on a cheese grater. Jus sayin

 

Asking question to OP.. If you were training to be a dog catcher.. Accidentally brole a dogs leg trying to catch it first week.. The city lets it go.

Then the next week you accidentally release a dog and it bites your trainer.. He starts thinking and wondering because he has never had a dog incident in 5 years.. then you show up and now its 2 in 2 weeks..

The city needs dog catchers but.. What would you do if you were the mayor? If a dog gets killed he will lose his job see.. And so will the trainer.

 

But

Aren't trainers over rated?

 

More like lightly scratched a dogs tail and chased one into the mud where it got stuck.. a dog death isn’t imminent yet...

 

If you didn’t do actual damage to the pole or the trailer other than paint transfer, you should not have reported that. 100% anyone who tells you that you should is an idiot. For real. And if your trainer made you report it, he’s a ####. Tell them you want a new trainer.

I ran over a stop sign in a Target parking lot with my trainer. That was probably 4-5 months after I started posting here. So why is this the first time anyone’s hearing about it? Because I kept my ####ing mouth shut. That’s what you and your trainer will do if you know what’s good for you. As far as you know that yellow paint was already on the trailer when you picked it up and you just didn’t notice it during your pretrip. Simple as that.

If you didn’t need them to come replace a rim or something, it never happened. Straight up. Every single person here who has driven more than a few days has done some sort of damage to something. Anyone who says they haven’t is lying and can’t be trusted.

They’ll be in here any second below this post...

 

Once in a while in my time if we broke stuff (This is before any camera, internet, computer crap anything...) we get into our own pocket and had some shop fix it at our cash expense. Employer is none the wiser.

Once in a while when one does walk past a new panel on the trailer that he has owned forever and stops short asking me wtf is this? Who me? I dunno. You should know it's your trailer. What happened to the #### thing anyhow?

Leave him there scratching his head and wondering. (Make sure you have burned the invoice already)

In this way my lessons cost actual cash, mostly in damaged west coast mirrors when backing into them at night. In those days it's really easy to replace them. Eventually I got good enough that I stopped breaking them.

Your trainer is not there to be buddy. If he is no where in sight when you are doing something wild with that truck, no wonder you broke something.

But here is the moral of all this. KEEP that mouth SHUT regarding no damage stuff. If you rubbed a pole and shook the traffic lights but left no mark then no harm no foul. You do not go squealing on yourself to safety who will just rack up another ding until they fire you. And you would have done it to yourself. But you already learned that now.

 

OP, my question is. When are you going to actually drive a truck?

From your own statements, You are attempting to drive a 70+ foot vehicle as if it were a Prius.

Lose that mindset before you lose your life, or someone else’s.

 

Trainers truck? Sounds more like you're on a team truck
