lease op TNT trainers be aware

As a person who has been doing extensive research on Prime and is planning on joining their training program in a couple months, this thread makes me want to insist on a company trainer. And that's not something against L/Os. I don't want the extra pressure of knowing I could potentially cost an L/O's family some money, and I don't want the extra adversarial relationship of an L/O being afraid of me potentially costing his family money. I want to work for this large company, not an L/O, and so I want this large company to assume my risks while I am training.

What will they say to me if I insist on a company instructor/trainer?

 

I'd assume he feels awful. If I were him I'd feel like total garbage and try to hand you my last 500 bucks. Avoiding this situation is why I made the post right above.

 

Better days are ahead

 

Hey Purple! Just a thought here... you might want to go back and really read that lease agreement you have with Success Leasing, and the operating agreement you have with Prime. All of your responsibilities under these contracts are clearly spelled out... including the consequences of a trainee under your supervision pranging Prime's property while you're responsible for it.

 

You know they upped em to $700 right?

When I did my certification Stan made it very clear that we would have to pay the deductible.

 

My trainer has never mentioned it but this makes me really feel bad about my door issue a couple weeks back.

 

What's Prime got to do with it? You leased a truck from Success Leasing, and signed a contract stating that you were responsible for its condition, including returning the truck in that condition... and that when you hooked onto one of the trailers that Prime Inc. provided to you that you'd be responsible for its condition and damages to it as well. Your employee... aka the "student" damaged that trailer and someone else's as well. Now you're complaining that someone else (Prime Inc.) should absorb your costs that you incurred because your employee bashed a trailer? Come on Purple! Get real. You're running a business, and if you're going to be in business you get to man up to the table and be a businessman.
