    Took the words right out of my mouth, Chompi. 3500 for two people in 10 days is actually only 175 miles a day per person. Hubby would be screaming if he was only getting 175 a day.

    LOL now I know I am not a driver...yet...but even I know that one person driving 175 miles in a day is absolutely nothing...think about it even driving slightly below highway speed to conserve fuel you would still only be driving a few hours at most...

    Went through that at TMC. Lasted two weeks with that neanderthal. I quit and went elsewhere.

    Have your husband call and get a new trainer ASAP.

    most drivers would want 3500 in seven days. Nice week. :)

    Even with one person driving 3500 in 10 days is not cramming miles in let alone doing it in 13 to 14 days. If he thinks That is cramming miles in he might want to rethink this as a carrier choice. Most days he will need to put in 600 to 700 miles.

    From what I can tell from recent conversations he was able to work things out with the trainer concerning this situation. Thank you everyone for your helpful suggestions and comments!

    Glad to hear it. Most folks, if they are mature, can come to agreement about things.
