My Experience with phase 1

I waited for my phase 1 trainer to pick me up for about 2 days. My trainer was a company driver with 11 years at CRE. He was not happy with the company at the time of my training. Training was 21 days/15000 miles at the time.

Things I did not like about my phase 1 training.

1. Trainer did not train. Maybe sat in passengers seat a total of 3 hours during my entire training.

2. He only had me back a total of two times during training. (supposed to be 15 min).

3. Trainer was fighting with his DM and kept quitting and refusing loads. We sat a lot.

4. Trainer said that england would contact us when I was ready for upgrade. I was kept on truck for 5 weeks and it was supposed to be 21 days at the time.

5. Truck interior was very dirty, trainer was a hoarder.


Things I liked about phase 1:

1. When I finally got back to school I was able to pass upgrade and was ready for next phase. And this was what it was all about anyway.
