So the update is I'm off the truck. I emailed my coordinator the reasons (she'll see that on Monday) and both me and my trainer called dispatch. Uncontested divorce. Now I'm in a Motel 6. Off-duty.
Not sure where this puts me with the company. There were a few other issues I had with my trainer than what I posted on here. And some I posted but deleted. If the company wants to hear my side and find me a good trainer then that'd be great. If they throw me under the bus then I'll just roll out the other side and go on with my life.
So be it.
In training and unwilling to falsify logs to help my trainer make $. What to do?

Good for you for standing your ground and I hope the company understands and helps you.
If they fire you oh well. Someone else will hire you just as quickly. A word of advice, if you need to interview with another company don't bad mouth the company/trainer you were with. Say you couldn't see eye to eye and leave it at that.
What I do think is BS is that she, as a trainer abandoned you. Never never ever would I have left a student at a cheap motel without any transportation. I kicked a few off the truck but always had them at a terminal. Kinda hope she hangs for that one.Moving Forward and RoadRacer Thank this. -
Sorry to hear that. Don't sweat it. It seems a lot worse than it really is. Think my main concern is what they put on your dac. Do they even have those any more? Everything happens for a reason. Maybe that company wasn't your cup of tea. Take it as a learning lesson and move on.
RoadRacer Thanks this. -
Hopefully you get a new trainer that respects the rules and mentor process.

Off duty in my book. ...

BTW, in light of what has happened, don't forget to document document document the major stuff that happened so you've got it in writing for potential future use (especially if you don't have a great memory). Good luck tomorrow!RoadRacer Thanks this. -
