Prime PSD failure

The next few days...the total was I believe 6 nights and 5 days with this creep...and it was a nightmare that wouldn't end. I immediately called our fleet mgr n begged to get me off truck...it wasn't working out...please...this is not going the way it should at all!!! We left my hometown on a Wednesday night..this is Thursday n our fleet mgr asked us both to please work it out...what fleet mgr didn't know was that the trainer kept threatening me w getting fired r getting 5 to 10k miles added to my training. What I didn't know was that out fleet mgr was going out of town that day n wasn't going to b available to me until the next Monday....it's already unacceptable...and I called again n again telling dispatch this guy is a lunatic get me off truck....

 

I should explain that my hubby became disabled and I have taken the role of the main breadwinner on. The last thing I wanted was to come across as a whiny, crybaby female who couldn't take it! I'm one of 14 children and have 7 brothers....believe me when I say I can take it....just not what this loon was trying....

 

So by Fridat night I speak to a female and male dispatchers filling in for our fm....they both said to drive back to either SLC Utah, or Springfield MO...to go get a new trainer.... EXCELLENT!!! So I'm thrilled again and I still won't give u play by play as to what exactly took place in the cab n out of the cab...but unfair comes to mind easily....

 

So fleet mgr assistant says get on the road...they call my trainer to inform him of change of plans....when I say he was pissed...that's mild....He screamed at me n said OK U WANNA NEW TRAINER YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN!!! Ummmn so u I said U know I don't even know how to use Qualcomm...let alone drive by myself....THATS YOUR PROBLEM!!!! Hmmmn ok....I'm gonna drive back by calling my hubby to tell me how to get back from what is now 4 States away from my home...with the hope of getting a new trainer, so it's my turn to drive....

 

So trainer n I start leaving the travel center in a major City...lots of traffic...my butt in the seat...he's sitting next to me the whole time name calling me...telling me how our fleet mgr gave him all the rejects students that no one wants...that I should know how to drive by now even thoght I never got TNT Training...yes I have a CDL but ZERO DRIVING EXPERIENCE... Remember?... I advised u n fleet mgr....so I start driving pulling out of travel center... hitting first intersection...lights r green... possibly stale green...going very slowly...I'm not sure if I should go straight r turn left...I'm not sure n look to him for answers...n he's saying FONT LOOK AT ME...YOUR ON YOUR OWN!!! Ok...so I start going straight and he says....HAHAHA...U MISSED UR TURN!!!! NOW YOU'LL REALLY GET US LOST!!! It still wasn't too late to turn left and I made the turn just in time before the light turned! I WAS LIVID PISSED AND OH SO SVARED FOR MY LIFE AS I WAS ON MY OWN !!!!....Ok so now I understand it's prison rules....so I knew I couldn't count on him for anything...he was my enemy...

 

I drove for my 11 hours and we headed back to SLC Utah Terminal since Springfield MO was waaaay too far...however, knowing that Springfield MO didn't experience the trainer shortage that SLC did....I might have to REALLY WAIT SINCE NOW IM ONLY GOING WITH A FEMALE TRAINER....I drove my 11 hours...then he drove...I slept finally since I was not able to sleep much at all thru the whole ordeal....he never stopped for me to go to rr...I really had to go....n when I did go...it was when it was my turn to drive....I drove my 10 hours and was one hour away from SLC Utah....my trainer asleep in the sleeper birth. I stopped at an RV center to go to rr and get a drink...and my tandem ran over a post...the four foot high ones that are yellow....it was on the curb going down...I got stuck...it woke my trainer up...he says u probably hit a speed bump...he gets up...takes over the wheel...gives it more gas...nope...that's not it...I get off the truck to inspect...

 

I get off the truck to see what I hit...I see that the post had a huge...huge boulder holding it down...it lifted when the post was hit...damage under the trailer...holy crap...I called Fleet Mgr assistant and cops to make sure I had a report documented...I also went inside travel center n spoke t mgr there to inform them...they all came out....

 

So Utah highway Patrol came out as well as local PD and no citations...very cool people...they saw how evasive the trainer was with giving any of his info to them....

 

So I talk to fleet mgr assistant n says we have to stay there overnight at the RV center to get some help there r possibly fix tandem brakes r replace tandem n get back on the road...that was Saturday night...now it's Sunday and repair folks came to help with damaged tandem... reinforce tanden damage...brake line...etc....spent one more night there...it's finally Monday and I speak to our fleet mgr who days basically....ITS ALL YOUR FAULT...IT COULDVE BEEN AVOIDED...OUR TRAINER HAS NEVER HAD ANY OTHER PROBLEMS WITH OTHER TRAINEES....YOU ARE DISQUALIFIED FOR SECURITY VIOLATION!!!! CLICK!!!! A three way call between the fleet manager and Safety mgr...so...yeah....yup....Now fleet mgr and trainer put that on my DAC report...3 days of driving off and on...with a trainer ...had the incident...not an accident...no citations...I'm to blame completely...trainer still has a job...I have a messed up DAC report...
