    Hey man don't even think about career over, when you fail a road test with Werner they will terminate you and you can come back after 6 months or go anywhere else i know a spanish who have done it, anyone can fail a road test that doesn't mean you career is over.

    Exactly, he was fired before the road test. It was a fabricated excuse to terminate.

    Two faced trainer told him he done well and told the company a different story.

    Roehl did you a favor. Their pay scale is an insult to anyone who belongs behind a steering wheel.

    Has anyone ever met a "Trainer" who was not a few bricks shy of a full load? The vast majority of people companies call "trainers" are Ego-maniacal nut jobs, with a false sense of superiority. They think that they are perfect, and love to ruin other people's lives. J.B Hunt had a trainer who was caught stealing money from trainees, and forcing them to drive when the qualcomm said the trainer was driving. A few months later, he was right back to training. This shows just how seriously big companies take their training programs. Most companies use these scam "Trainers" to run a truck as a team operation, while paying one of the drivers dirt wages. When that trainee fails, who cares? Just put the next warm body in the truck, and get it rolling again.

    This is the reason I went to an independent school. I heard too many horror stories about trainers leaving students at truck stops and terminals. And the company saying you gotta find your own way home.

    Im not sure its going to matter if you went to an independant school or company. You are still going to get sent out with a trainer with most companies. They are not going to turn someone loose with no expirence in a truck by themselves right out of school.

    ever heard of the smith system? It was kinda your fault for rolling through on a yellow. most safety depts are nazis. If the light was green for awhile, you should ease out of the throttle and prepare for the light to change..stale greens. It's a part of being an alert driver.

    the smith system works people!
