    TruckerDragon....

    i am sorry to say i have only read the second to last page and up to here. i was "called here" by a friend. from what i am able to gather, you had a pisspoor trainer, and this happens more than you could ever imagine.

    many others here are saying you did the best thing possible. now, LET the DM(?) help you. i would most certainly (myself) GO STRAIGHT to the safety office and report to them as well. you (from what i've read) were working under a situation sometimes called "duress".....it was difficult for you to do your job properly. if student drivers took the time to report pisspoor trainers, the companies would (i think) have a much better work force, and much MORE Professional.

    also from what i am reading, Injun IS helping you, so please heed her advice on this. it may surprise you the help you ARE getting here.

    i will try and chime in here on this thread a bit more now to check on your status, but whatever you do, don't be in a panic.

    The dog has a bed on the passenger seat and another bed at the foot of the sleeper bed. He gets to sleep where he wants to.

    Rerun: your input here is greatly appreciated and welcome.

    That leaves the hammock for the trainee....
    But from the sounds of of it, it would be worth it to ride with him.

    Nope. Hammock for me, foot of the bed or passenger seat for the dog and trainee gets the bed. And ride with who? Injun's a natural born XX carrying chickie.

    Other news: our Truckerdragon already has a new mentor.
