Having trouble in training

Sent home

 

For some reason I have been having way too much trouble with my heart rate. I got to deck #2 and strapping just the first tire took me around 8-10 minutes since the strap came undone. Regardless tho, just that made me extremely fatigued. Felt like I was finna pass out and needed to sit down.

Big guy in charge felt like this may not be for me. Disappointing because I was finally getting it once I got a chance to load on my own. For some reason it’s easier to remember when I’m by myself than when I’m working with a partner and us taking turns doing stuff.

overall the training was good I feel like I learned a lot and made alot of progress for what has probably been 7 days outside total(first week was classroom stuff and one day the pad got shut down due to lightning)

My biggest issue(besides the heart thing) was remembering every single thing in the order they wanted.

Don’t get me wrong, the training is good, but for ppl like me it would have been a lot more efficient if they gave us an exact order of how they want it unloaded and loaded. Instead of everything trying to remember it and constantly messing up.
I know when you’re own you can technically do things your way, but since they insist on us doing it their way in training I believe a study sheet should have been given. It probably would take them 20 minutes top to create one. But it would help a lot since they aren’t giving us that much time to remember everything, that way we can spend more time practicing it the right way.

 

Around 6 foot. 225

Hopefully it’s just that. Needing to adjust. If it is something greater than that’s a bigger issue.

 

Well as of now that’s it for this company. I was sent home and encouraged to get my body together.
Disappointing because I truly feel that I was understanding it once I got to load the truck on my own. Yes I was going slow but i was remembering the steps without using my notepad. Little small mistakes I made I was able to figure out and fix on my own in 5-10 seconds.

hopefully I can get a second chance

 

Ultimately they gave me a chance, said they wouldn’t give up on me if I wanted to stay.
However the main instructor telling me that he doesn’t think it’s a good fit for me is ultimately a big reason why I also chose to go home.

even if I stayed idk what would of happened being trained by someone that I felt like has wrote me off.

I would say next week we would’ve been with an actual driver trainer and that maybe would’ve been a better experience.

still hard work but not loading and unloading for 8 hours straight with little break.
Apparently I was having early signs of heat stroke.


I think I’m going to get a physical trucking job for a while. Maybe 3 months and get used to this heat and hard work.
Then give it another try.
