    Please use caution with this. I say this because I am sure you want to get through the training process as quickly as possible and get your own truck. One of the biggest problems a trainee faces just out of orientation is trainer availability. Some have to wait a week or longer depending on the company. While I understand your concern please understand if you start making a lot of demands in regard to a trainer you might find yourself waiting for a long time to get assigned on a trainers truck. I am not trying to persuade you to be careless just be careful during this process.

    Thank you for the advice, a couple company's have told me that I may have to wait up to a week for a female trainer.

    As long as your trainer is a Pro, it doesn't really matter.

    Yes us mega company trainers are given a rundown of "don't get sued 101,"

    I'll train anyone that's willing to learn and improve, that being said, my cab and sleeper is wired for sound. I put in my own in cab camera too that sees both seats. All by me, because even after asking for one of those company spy cams I didn't get one. The student signs a disclosure before they ever go down the road, knowing this fact.

    Come in ready to learn and improve and you will have a good experience. Treat me like an obstacle between you and a truck, I just get harder to get around.

    That all depends on you,do you get along better with men then women or visa versa.Both men and women cuss like sailors.There's good and bad trainers in both men and women.Far as getting raped,i think some trainees are over dramatic with their exp in training.
