    He didn't "call his wife to come on here."

    Steve it would be hard to learn it all. My husband has not complained much at all. The fact that his mentor left him at the truck over 14 hours ago when they have a load to pick up and deliver by 8am in another state pretty much says it all. When they were in Phx last week they didn't even have time for a 15 minute break for me to drive by and give a quick wave. But when he's home he just leaves with no word whatsoever. Thats just down right rude.

    He still hasn't bothered to try to call his mentor? Has he called his DM? What if something happened to his mentor? He should stay in contact with his DM anyway, over the qualcomm or by phone. From what I've heard & read, one of the best things to do if you have a question or are u sure about something is to ask other drivers.
    I'm sure you do understand how time works for days & weeks & 34 hour resets.

    Not me...I hope the pile of trash is dead. Leave me sitting in a truck for 12 hours, and I might kill him myself.

    the bottom line is he is either ready or he is not. if he is not he needs to contact the company and make that point to them. if he is ready the best learning he is gonna get comes on the job. learn the tricks and what to do and not to do on the road. just like your husband is not his trainers babysitter a team guy doesnt want to hold someones hand to make sure hes ok too. if he is safe to handle the vehicle being on the road by himself will be the best thing for him.

    Maybe the trainer found a new job and is laughing his way down the road.

    Many pieces of the puzzle are missing due to the fact this is third party coming from a concerned wife...

    Same old story; trainer parks at a Oriental Massage Parlor that has truck parking and says, "I'll be right back."
