He might be a super-trucker when turned loose by himself, but if what you are saying is true, then he doesn't have any business being a trainer. I'm not saying to do anything because you want to see him fired or in trouble, I'm saying to act on it to prevent him from bullying the next trainee that comes his way.

This business already loses enough good folks because of people like you have described. It gives the industry a black eye.

Plus, I hate when people think by "praying to god" they can justify all their actions. God doesn't make everything ok, he gives you the good sense to choose not to do it in the first place

 

You are exactly right on jakaby on all you you are saying,I feel bad for kibblesnbits,sounds to me like his trainer has got a real problem,he needs ( Help Mentally)

 

I know one thing I would refuse to go out and train with him,it's just a matter of time before this guy gets someone killed on the rd.,someone gonna cut him off in traffic or something and he gonna lose like he did with you only he gonna lose control of the truck and take a innocent life,we dont need truckers like him on the rd.,he needs to be fired,I assume you are fairly new to trucking by your profile,( trucker 1year) If i could say anything that will help you in your future truck driving that would help you is to always be patient when driving,to many drivers now days get in a hurry,when you get in a hurry thats when you are going to eventually make a mistake,I do hope everything works out for you in your favor.

 

Sounds like you are being pro-active about it which is good. Part of learning how to be as safe as you can be is knowing when someone else is not, like your trainer. By doing something about it, you are helping yourself, every other trainee after you, and me. I might be in the hammer lane next to him when he's screaming at the next trainee.

Good luck to you. I hope it works out for you.

 

I just read everything that was said, if your still there, congrats.

I just got off the phone with a recruiter from Hornady and this is what she told me.

1) Because I'm just starting flat bedding .39 cpm, $20.00 tarp pay

2) $500. 1st week of class room training

3) $550.00 for the 2nd and 3th week of training, for each week

4) The 2nd and 3th week of training is just at their home terminal learning securement for two weeks

5) You don't go out on the road with any trainers after that, they give you your own truck and go on your own at that time after the third week.

6) 1st week they put you up in a hotel, then the next two weeks you stay in the truck that you will be driving right on the property.

7) Can you tell me the trainers name, just in case

8) They are offering a $1,500. sign on bonus, but only for guys that have previous flat bedding

9) If you can offer any other type of assistance, then thank you

10) Are you, so far so good with them or not


Thanks for any help
