Former Knight Driver

I stopped believing this when I read the part about getting hit. The only people allowed to put their hands on me are the ones who also see me nekkid. I would have grabbed the first solid thing within arm's reach and absolutely would have made him cry like a little girl. Go ahead and put me in jail for it but eventually, I'm going to come and go right back to where I left off. The OP was the trucking equalvalent of being "punked-out" if this is to be taken at face value.

 

I'm not being trained nor paid to be his therapist, therefore I'm not going to take an active role in determining whether or not he's having a good day. I'm being paid to be a truck driver and drive the truck I shall do. I'm not saying that sympathy shouldn't be extended for someone who just lost his brother, but my limit, again, is when someone feels the need to invade my personal space in an aggressive manner. A one time only occurrence is one thing, but to continuously do it means it's turned into a habit. This isn't rocket science. If he's having a bad day, then I'm sorry but go see a psychologist

 

And another thing- if a driver has to shove pills down his throat in order to "make it through the day", then I'm getting off of that truck and on the phone with the company. Kudos to working with the special needs folks, but if this trainee is special needs, he needs to look for employment elsewhere and not running along side of me

 

My first trainer at another company was similar saying we are going to do things his way since its was his truck. I was also not taught the basics like the Smith system and not enough backing it was all run let's go no time for that. Funny I recently have received multiple emails and voicemails from Knight's recruiting dept. from a prehire I had from them from over a year ago now.

 

interstellar...
We gotta had it to you for being such a good sport...
You are going to be a great trainer yourself someday
" Hang in there buddy "

 

Jesus Palamino! How do these guys continue to train? You would think I guy like that has multiple complaints, we need minimum training standards, I commend you for sticking it out

 

Did you apply to any companies I recommended in Post #20?
