My husband's journey

just remember that even an expert was once a beginner.

A good instructor will know the learning process.

 

Does he Know what his instructors name is? Also how much how time did he get during the time he left home to Finishing all of his Training?

 

Just a heads up once he get his own truck his hometime counter will reset I did the same thing and when my fm let me go home for 3 days but when I came back on the road he informed me I had to make those days up since I didnt have any hometime so now im out for 5 weeks and taking 3 days because I have somethings to take care of and when I come back out I am goning to stay out 4 weeks and take 3 days off then my days will be made up

 

I would have talked to the Boss about that, thats bunk and your FM knows it.

 

Tells me that, that is a FM that does not care about his drivers. Not a good way to start a new driver out. My FM made sure I was on the way home the 1st week I had my truck to get it out fitted and to see the wife. He did the same to all my trainee's also. Builds driver loyalty.

 

It's the whole reset the hometime clock I have a problem with.

My FM makes it clear, while he tries to get you home shortly after you get your truck, if you don't have the days on the books you don't get the days at home.

days accumulated during TNT count (not PSD. PSD are not employees yet)

if you came off hometime a week before upgrade and maybe accumulate one more week before you he gets you home, that's two days. That's what you get.

You got to build a working relationship with him on your own before he'll spot you extra days or allow cash advances greater then the ones issued with your load.

 

Yeap I agree Chuck. Never even considered TNTer's ability to go home during training. Always figured they would stick it out and run the whole time.
