    It's okay to attack others who reach out for help, but sticking up for the guy by pointing out that Sammy isn't perfect either... that makes me the one who is insulting and has the attitude problem? Since you like being the hall monitor so much, why have you nothing to say to Sammy? Can you explain to me how that's even REMOTELY reasonable? Or is there some clique here, of which I am not in the inner circle of... that's what it's starting to look like.

    What i told you is very real. If you couldnt take being away from your kids for the trial period or handle the training you dont have any business in this industry. I never had to ride with a trainer but from what i understand it is not any fun. Then you will be in a truck by yourself. So I guess you did make the right decision to quit because there was no need to waste anymore time or the taxpayers money. I personally dont see how a man could quit the training and go home look four kids and a wife in the eyes knowing he just let them down. Remember going to another school will not help you miss your family any less. Not everybody is cut out for this industry.Seek another career and stick to watching Smokey and the Bandit.

    Personally I believe anyone near the age of 62 shouldn't be allowed to drive more than 4 wheels..
