Orentation and Trainer Time

I've been following this thread for a while now, hoping the situation would improve. Since it didn't, TD, you did what you had to do. You aren't responsible for the actions of others. He set his path, and will have to either fix it or suffer the results of it himself. You are taking control of your path. Be proud of that. And Albuquerque is a great place to be stuck in for a little while. I'm there quite a bit. Not now, but if I was, I'd buy you a cup of coffee.

Injun, I know exactly where you're coming from. I retired two years ago from the fire service. We're not all cut from the same mold, and that's a very good thing.

 

You sound like your a good kid don't beat yourself up for doing what is right. Alot of people refuse to do what's right be proud of yourself!

 

If you're going to explore, east on Menaul Blvd (past the 7-11) is the way to go. There is a bunch of stores about 3/4 mile up the road - a bit of a hike - including a WalMart.

Good luck TD - you got off the truck for the right reasons. Its unfortunate, but there are trainers who are into it only for the aspect of cheap labor - not instructing a new driver.

 

Hey TD how old are you bro?

 

.

Isn't that the area right past the TA? Werner has a dropyard next to the TA and Mesa CB Shop. I believe it was on that road but I have only been there once over the years with them.

 

I figured TD was a young man. I feel the kids frustration, but I got frustrated with him when he was questioning himself about whether to get back on that trainers truck. He and I have PM'd. and I hope he is able to work things out.

 

Make sure you make it clear to her that you didn't feel safe in that truck, and that all of the personal stuff was secondary to anything business. It is time to put it all down in writing. Everything. Including the racial and bigoted comments. Normally, I would recommend to leave that stuff out, but since she is taking that sort of approach, you need to do what is best for you. Don't worry about that piece of #### that threatened you about his career and all that...he won't have time to worry about you when he is getting demoted to driver again.

MAKE SURE YOU KEEP anything Swift gives you regarding this. Also, keep your hotel receipt and anything else you have that would be able to not only prove this to Swift, BUT TO PROTECT YOUR DAC if they decide to go that route. (I HIGHLY doubt they will)

You made the right decision, even if it doesn't seem like it now.
