    In 8 hours of driving on our first day, my trainer has checked his text messages, studied his Atlas, programmed and reprogrammed the GPS, informed me how to disable the lane-watching camera with a piece of paper (frightening considering it goes off a lot), and even programmed the qualcomm ALL WHILE HE WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY. Wtf? And my first chance at driving with him.. ANY driving.. was pulling out of a rest station onto the freeway in the rain.

    Umm?

    Nope.. lol Sad if this company has multiple trainers like this. I mean, I'm supposed to pay for this "training" if I don't stay with them a year too that's probably the biggest joke.

    It's rough running teams; even if everything is perfect, you still get on each others nerves and the least little thing is magnified.

    Haha that's pretty much What a video of my trainer wouldve looked like today... I Can't record him because I have to stay in the passenger seat when he's driving though. I'm really glad he only told me How to disable that thing that tells you when you start Going out of your lane instead of actually disabling it.. I'm Not kidding it went off almost everyone he got distracted.

    Request a new instructor, just state you don't feel comfortable with your current one. I've seen people who were motivated end up not getting their CDL just because of a poor instructor.

    So sorry to hear. This is why I tell people to avoid this company. What an idiot. Trainer? More like dumb rookie.
    Yeah, I know - "that's not the whole company, blah blah"
    Thanks for being honest.

    Actually, you are probably twice as stupid as him for riding in the upper bunk while he was driving. Neither one of you should be behind the wheel.
