A pivotal point in my life I need answers and opinions.

.

I'm not worried about my health being an issue as much as the nit picking in the industry that would get me fired. The tanker taillight I understand but the litteral scuff on a trailer that looked as if it should be junked baffled me. I'm in western PA with a MEC till March 2028. BTW SNI.

 

Yes and that's my biggest concern. I felt the OTR time with a trainer was useless. I was away for 5 days and drove 3 days each 8 hours. I was going OTR eastern 37 and the trainer was on a dedicated and at his direction we parked the truck in fast food lots and he would go home as I stayed in the truck with nowhere to even go to the can. Took leaks in bottles but luckily didn't have to do anything else. The other days were spent in my hotel room. I got nothing out of it and thought this was just the way it is and couldn't believe they flew me from PA to TX for this. I just figured okay.....

 

I am. But, I need more instruction than others when it comes to backing and close quarters. Afterall I was avoiding backing during my reportables. It just seems that during training they'll say it's okay to ask for more practice and time but when you allude to it they seem not too happy about it. I know they're going to requre a refresher but I was thinking of doing a self funded refresher before their refresher to get even more practice.

 

My Medical Examaners certificate. I'm strongly leaning on going back with them.

 

Well, I can see the tanker taillight but the scuff at my OC just let all the motivation out of me. I know many people here have understated damage to maintain reputations but I truly mean this was a scuff on a beat trailer. It felt like they were just so eager to throw another strike at my record lasting 7 years. IDK???
