Prime NOOB

We get guys like him at my job sometimes can clear a room from there smell and it lingers!! Hopefully training will go by very quickly. Also I lnow it's hard to shower everyday trucking but could do like most ppl do and carry wet wipes to clean yourself. Remember when a buddy was in boot camp he has asked me to mail him tons of them

 

Did he drive on your time? That is illegal if he did. When I was with my trainer he tried to do that and I sad no.

 

OOPs my misunderstanding sorry...

 

Yeah I can understand it if you were up watching and learning. At some point your trainer should have forced you to bed, or at least planned a sleep stop since you guys have plenty of time on the load.

I force my guys to bed. If there is something they really need to see I will wake them or have them stay up. But I dont keep them out of bed for one minute longer than needed to show them something important for their training.

I tell my trainees to get off their phones, computers, dvds etc. and go to sleep.

I may have to accept the fact that they are tired and for safety reasons park the truck... but if they were up, screwing around while I was driving my shift and they cant do their shift, then we have a problem.

 

Sounds like some of these guys could of used you for there training. Hopefully when I come to prime in the near future I get a good instructor/trainer

 

I dont do instructing. Ive thought about it, but I dont have the patience.

I do train. In fact Im probably taking on a trainee after my week off in California.

I havent had a trainee for almost 10 months. Last year I had a lot going on with weddings, funerals and a trip to Europe.

I typically like to be 100 percent available to run miles for a trainee. Basically I schedule my hometime when he wants to go home.

I may wait till the beginning of March... any trainee I take before then will have to take time off at the end of Feb when I go to FL for the Daytona 500. Im not springing for a free trip in Orlando. So if he wants to collect his $600 by staying on the truck, its either he books a hotel himself or he sits in the truck for 4 days at Prime Floral in Pierson with a bathroom, shower, snack machine and water cooler for ammenities.

 

I'd say if I would be ready for a trainer by then that would be perfect for me since I live hour or little more from the Daytona beach i live about 15mins from the t/s in wildwood Exit 329 off I-75
