Major carrier training nightmare...

Close your eyes and just think about finishing your training anything in between you can and will get thru it. Learn to give people their way if understand what I'm saying. This is all new to you but I'm hoping your next trainer will be able to teach and get you thru training.

 

What implied judgment would that be?

If I were having HALF the problems you've said you had, I would have left this "unnamed carrier" long ago. There are too many options out there, for student drivers, for someone to stay at a place where they are treated lower than dirt.

 

Company Plant? Been there done that with mega carrier and trainer. Werner. My mistake on mixing up your many mentors and who did what. For someone to make a committment to keeping you on a truck with all the students backed up looking for trucks to get on just doesnt make any sense. Im guessing if someone forced you to drive 10-11 hours straight they had a gun to your head.
Confrontational? Your not the first person to put up with a lot of bull from a major carrier. Some of what you were saying just didn't make sense. The thing that is common thread through all of the story is you. There are a lot of good trainers out there that are also tough and are not gonna cut much slack as it is thier neck on the line as well. It is serious business running a truck down the road and some will make sure they are not a part of the problem. The one thing I did not notice is if you had dealt with any shippers or recievers yet. That is a whole different kettle of worms itself.
Stick it out. The bad times and unfair things that happen are lessons you learn along the way. Everyday I learn something even if it is wrong. Ignorance begins when you think you have all the answers. Never stop asking the questions.
Get some time in and then keep your eyes and ears open. There are other options out there.

 

You just said " to each his own on their beliefs" then you say athiests or agnostics are "misguided" ..So what is it ??

 

That's why they started calling them "mentors".

 

I read the thread and was curious will either of you guys with "years experience" who knock those who "barely have enough exp to train" (step up) and train students?

 

I've also noticed that many times, those who say "they don't preach", are some of the worst offenders. It's not "preaching" to them, just helping the "misguided"..........

 

I know this is probably throwing a can of worms against the wall, but it looks like hey are spilling out anyway.

When I was in the service, I slept next to a guy that was a devout Christian who read his bible, listened to Christian music on a Walkman ( does that date me? ) and would say things like "I'm praying for you" or something like that whenever we would cuss, talk about chicks, and other "dude stuff". At first, I figured to each his own and didn't pay attention to it. After a while, living with this cat in such close confines took on a new meaning. You start looking at every little detail and everything, good and bad, starts to get magnified. What I'm trying to say is that you are already aggravated, and you start looking for little things that justify the complete hatred you have developed for someone, be it justified or not. It's not really the particular person, he just happens to be there. The fact that you are so up close and personal is just a small part of the overall picture.

Now, I dig Jesus as much as the next guy, I just don't want to hear someone else tell me, or actually even show me, how much THEY dig him. If the guy hears your music, then you are bringing it into the public arena that the two of y'all, and everybody else, shares. Some people will naturally resent it. When you are living in such a small area like a truck, coupled with the fact that the guy is probably just finding out that the "unnamed mega carrier that is starting to sound like Swifty " is screwing him on a lease, AND you are costing him money because of mpg, then I can certainly understand that he would get peeved at hearing music he doesn't want to hear. I'm not saying you were a problem to him. I'm saying that you probably contributed a small part to his overall problems, and you were just in the wrong place and time when it finally boiled over for him.

Again, you are a person of faith and I respect your beliefs. I just don't want to hear about them unless I decide to actually ask you about them
