Said i'd never do this......

Sounds like this mentoring thing is working out for you so far Dick, that's great. I am teaming with my former mentor now. I hate having to live in such a confined space with another person. But the mentoring thing might be something I would be interested in because (if I stick with OTR) my basic plan would be to take a student for the 6 weeks then go a couple weeks solo between students to get the best of both worlds. I just don't know how Swift would react to that plan though. I know there is a macro 'available for trainee on __-__' so I figure it can be like setting your PTA lol just a couple of weeks out.

 

I've heard it said that "two heads are better than one".

 

Tom told me that you were kinky.... But I didn't listen to him.

 

If he told you that, then he's lying. I can't help it if from time to time his living in the gutter rubs off on me. You know the saying "if you lay down with dogs, you wake up with fleas"?

But you would be wise to continue not listening to him. LOL

 

My team partner just quit mentoring last week. You should see the qualcomm traffic begging him to come back and mentor! He won't go back as it almost cost him his business. our DM was telling us about another L/O who is $15,000 in the hole with his truck.

 

Your DM needs to be fired if he allowed one of his L/Os to go that far in the hole without some sort of intervention. Yes, I know, we are responsible for our own businesses, but obviously something has gone terribly wrong here. Now I'm curious what the whole story is with that other L/O or if your DM is just saying that to make you feel better. $15K?!? What's that DM doing to help that L/O get some miles? Or is the L/O turning down a lot of loads? What's the story? No excuse for that large of a negative balance.
