Thanks for everyone's opinion and thoughts on this matter... I really appreciate it... everything went good and just got to do some safety training Monday and everything will be good to go
Cat sdp, bark77, VinceBlack and 4 others Thank this. -
If you get another chance at this, just do what I do whenever a car does something stupid and I can no longer safely move.
I rest my chin on my hand, and blankly stare right into their eyes so they know absolutely no motion will be happening on my part until they figure out what they've done.
Don't get mad, don't be unprofessional, don't scowl or give them things to lip read. Stare.VinceBlack, Speedy356, LoneRanger and 4 others Thank this. -
Excellent. Every incident is a learning point. Slow and easy until you have more experience.
Pamela1990 and Mwarren89 Thank this. -
VinceBlack Thanks this.

Good to see you and the trainer had each other's back.
That's not the usual trainer story I read on here.
I was like surely the place isn't going to fire this guy. The trainer would be more in danger of losing trainer status in my opinion. It costs alot of money to bring a new driver in and put them thru training. -

Just a quick question for you Mr. Warren what were the plates on the car you mentioned it was in northern New York so I'm assuming upstate. If you see a driver with new york plates be vary cautious. Drivers in the big apple are offensive drivers. I'm not a cdl driver but I drive a sprinter van as my main occupation and I can tell you that here you learn to drive offensively because on busy streets during rushour If the light is green you have to block the lane if you don't someone behind you or in the cross street will. Also people swing out violently when merging and make illegal u turns from the other side of the street. I don't do the other two but I'm just giving you an example. New Yorkers will get close to your truck and expect you to move out of there way.
