My Trainer Isn't Letting Me Practice Backing

I just got hired on at PTL. I've been out 4 days now. My trainer is barley letting me back. Like we stopped at a Flying J with plenty of open spots. She literally had me pull up and do a straight back. We are at a Petro and the same thing happened. Plenty of good spots for backing and she had me pull straight in to a spot. At this point I'm getting really annoyed.

I do feel like my backing has gotten better since driving school, but I still need more practice. Then the few times she did let me back, she was standing outside and yelling which way to turn my wheels. I HATE that with a PASSION! Like this isn't helping me learn, you're basically doing the backing for me. I called the training manager and told him, and all he said was " focus on the positives". Ummm ok?

I've told her 4 times I need more practice backing and she keeps giving BS reasons why we can't do it. At this point, I'm just going to push through it so I can get this over with and I can get my own truck. I have enough backing knowledge to pass the test after training, but still the more practice the better.

 

It should be 2/1 2 to 3 weeks. You have to drive at least 7500 miles with a trainer before you test. I've driven 1700 so far.

 

A part of me wants a different trainer, but I don't want to prolong the training. Besides I could get a trainer who "trains" just like her.

 

I wholeheartedly agree

 

This will have been my 5th time telling her. I literally stressed to her on day 1 how much I needed to practice backing. I didn't even back at all on day 1 at a customer. Both places were really tight and she made me get out and watch.
