    Pretty much...no matter who you drive for .. You'll have to park at the terminal as joker85 had stated due to high theft rates of cmv's
     
    Joker85 Thanks this.

    Lets see .. Cigarette Smoke Bad .. But inhaling all the Diesel Fumes ya can, Good ..lol

    I have a problem with 95% of so called trainers, most are in it for the extra money and they suck!

    BUT, Joker is a great trainer, I am former May and know about how he trains, I am a non-smoker, I would suck it up and deal with it to be trained by a trainer that CARES about his students ... Good trainers are hard to come by ... Something to think about.

    Agreed. Thanks P! Smoking kills. Maybe he slow down or stop when I'm with him!!:biggrin_25525:

    if not him, can you guys recommend someone else, a non smoker?

    GWG ... Go into any garage and shut all doors and windows and hang in there with a smoker for 20 minutes ... Will you die? NO

    Now, go into that same garage with all the doors and windows shut and run a car in there for 20 minutes .. Will you die? YES

    Think about that ...

    A good trainer is that, good ... That should be yer top priority when being trained to drive a big truck. Its a dangerous profession.

    I'm a non-smoker. However, when I went to work for May the only trainer available was a smoker. I got on the truck with him because there weren't too many non-smoking trainers available. He was considerate and only smoked while we were driving, and with the windows cracked open. It didn't kill me ;-)
     
    Paloma Thanks this.
