<p>[QUOTE="Grinnbearit, post: 343519, member: 11822"]Alright everyone,</p><p> </p><p>Cabhappy here has had the same experience that many of us have had getting into the trucking industry. The other half of the story is somewhere between the trainer's attitude and the trainee's attitude as well. Let's stop for a minute and think about this. You are in training for x amount of weeks or at LML, x number of miles. okay before you even get to that point the trainee has to feel comfortable on some level with you behind the wheel. This didn't happen on her case. Remember this is an individual basis here. The real goal here is to get your own truck and at that point you can do whatever you need to do to take care of YOUR logbook. Of course your driving school taught you one way. Lisa taught you another way. Did you just want someone to agree that cooking the books is wrong? Sure we all know that. But then we also know that low miles can be just as bad if not worse than no miles becaue you're making nothing and you're not at home. Everyone I know that works for Lisa as a driver have told me that they have no problem getting you home, just don't miss your fuel stop on the weekend and need to call them on the weekend because their staffed thin. I am not taking a side b/c I know of people that work in this industry for other companies and have really been screwed (CRL Lease purchase). What I am saying is there is a corporate side to trucking that likes and knows CYA very well and no company is perfect. I also didn't see anything about you not getting your training pay on time which tells me they got the important stuff right. Imagine everything you went through and not geting paid for two weeks. Don't give up on this industry yet because one left a bad taste in your mouth. You'll find your place</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Best wishes</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Grinn<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies-vb/roundies/biggrin_2552.gif" class="mceSmilie" alt=":biggrin_2552:" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
