Orentation and Trainer Time

Thanks for sharing your experiences and maybe we'll meet on the road someday!

 

Thanks for this thread! Read ALL of it.

It seems that most of the negative experiences in training are caused by people like what TD ran into - someone who just sees you as an addition to their paycheck because they aren't making ends meet as an O/O. I've got my fingers crossed for Swift and will find out more on monday if they've accepted me or not with their driving record! Going to phoenix for the school as well!

 

This thread is great. I'm so inspired to see how it went from gloom and doom to what you are now.

Oh and a word to the wise for whatever trainer I will get in a month or so, If you are training a guy that looks like this



The absolute last thing you ever want to do is threaten him or his friends for he spent 17 years in the body disposal business. Just sayin.

Anyway I just hope I get a good trainer, but I will not hesitate to document everything and turn in a bad one. I will be doing a blog like this when I start schooling and training but it will mainly be for my friends that are curious. It seems there are more than enough beginning trucker blogs here to clutter it up with any more.
