I hope that's the case. O/O's who train should be made to follow strict guidelines for training new drivers. And if they can't, they should be eliminated from the program.
They'll make plenty of money. I think this guy was being greedy and taking advantage of a kid.

^^^ Thats not right driver
Anyway: First day with Rick (My new trainer) is done.
And he is the best! (Lets hope it stays that way, im sure it will) Get this, he is a L./O, and decided that he would bobtail, on his own fuel to the nearest walmart so I could get supplies, then, even drove BACK there when I forgot to get change, his dime! Then we started my day at noon, at 11 I finished, 45 minutes for drop and hook stuff, and PTI, maybe more, and, he kept his part of the bargin (Nice, no yelling, trust, willing to teach) so I kept mine, I laid down 566 miles for him today.
He wants to start my backs tomarrow, find abandon warehouses and back to the docks there, and he said he will set up a backing course for me in some spots he knows of, he wants more than the 40 required, he wants about 100 of each if I understand him right, and im all for it, I promised him if he does his end, ill do my best for him in return, and so far I have not been disappointed, I mentioned my friends here, and he was excited, and hoped we would run into some of you (specially you injun) so, yeah, its all good now I think.
Drive a 500 mile empty to the border in AZ picked up a trailer headed for texas.
