Training was a joke. I think we sat for more time than we drove, waiting on dispatch. When my (more than)28 days were up, they told me I didn't have enough miles. Not my fault I say, give me a road test or something, im not going out with another trainer. Road test passed, ready to roll.
I'm already considering leaving, contract be ######. My co-driver-to-be got in an argument with dispatch and got himself fired. However, when I talked to dispatch they tell me he quit. Yeah, do they think I never speak to the guy?
They won't give me any phone numbers to find a new co-driver. I have to keep calling my dispatch, and when I'm lucky to get through, all she does is patch me through to another driver. The only one that answered said he's a trainer and not looking for a partner. So now I have to wait till tomorrow to try and have them patch me through to someone who will answer.
This company treats their drivers like they are trash. Very disrespectful to the people who actually make the money to keep the lights on at the home office.
Not all companies are like this, are they? I'm ready to leave. I've got bills to pay and all this company does is let you sit, either at home or in truck stops. Is there another company out there that someone can vouch for that will take a new CDL holder with VERY LITTLE (I'm good, just new) experience? I've had it up to here (holding hand at eye level) with the constant BS of CRST.
(is there a bad trainer thread? I've got some good stories)
Just another new guy....

I guess I'd agree with most on here in that you need to go out with a trainer again. I'm on about 5000 miles of 10k with Willis Shaw Express and I couldn't be happier. We have about 4 weeks to complete the training and I'm on my 8 day now. So I've been averaging about 600/day. Now I only get 350/week while in training, but I'm doing fine. Most of the trainers will pay for 85-90% of you meals, etc. since they'll be making money off you during your first year. We're staying pretty busy with the reefer loads and my only complaint is my arse bone is killing at the end of the day!!! LOL but that's to be expected from a noob. Good luck
