    that's in schooling and you cant stand a fellow classmate. this guy im referring too shouldn't be there he spends more time on his phone instead of paying attention to the instructor yesterday the instructor booted him out of the driver seat cause he kept stalling it on a busy rd. everybody in my group hates him he has a hard ### attitude. everytime he is trying to drive I think I develope whiplash. just 4 more days I guess with him i cant wait.

    Haha, got one in my class almost exactly like that. We're just today getting to street driving, and we feel bad for whichever instructor pulls the short straw to take him (not sure if they were joking, they really may be pulling straws...). He hasn't passed a maneuvers test yet. Literally failed them all: Pretrip, Straight line back, Drop & Hook, See Side turn and Blind side turn.

    But yeah, he's probably going to pass...

    There's one in every class! We had one guy in our class that we called "one upper". Whatever you did he did it better, faster, more, etc. What was funny though was he was the guy trying to tell all the other students how to perform the maneuvers yet he couldn't do any of them. He finally got tossed out of the class when he left the truck in gear and idling before he jumped out of the truck. I've never seen a trainer move so fast.

    If just some guy in your class is annoying you that much, you are not suited for trucking and dealing with four wheelers, to mention only one aspect of it.

    I agree. "Everyone" in your class HATES him?

    Want to reach the top of the pile in your profession? Stand out. Don't be everyone. In the military, they would make this guy your leader. Ever see ' the Dirty Dozen'? Next time you're in class, apply yourself to learning. While everyone is thinking about this guy, work at standing out from everyone. Should be easy to do if everyone is negative.
