    I am wondering the same, but as she seems to be back with the mentor she may not be on anytime soon. Hopefully round 2 is going better.

    I told her yesterday...to have a good talk with the Mentor and let him know what he did was wrong, and that she would not allow it again....logs, tired driving, etc.

    Sometimes, if you put your foot down and let the other one know you can't be pushed around....things change!

    Hope you're right Otter. I was very fortunate with my mentors when I drove. It's amazing what some people go through when they start driving.

    Same here. I had one who liked to park on the fuel island on hot days instead of walking across the lot, and I had another who was a bit of a chronic complainer. Not bad....not bad at all....

    Well hell I can never seem to get rid of my students they seem to not want to get off the truck. Last one I took to Vegas for two days, a 80's rock concert and we ate great food and took a shower everyday.

    I bought him a duffel bag,cobra 29 LTD and we had fun while he learned the proper way to drive his shiny Volvo. He wanted to stay on the truck as long as he could but Swift forced him to upgrade...LOL

    The student I have right now can drive!!! Ima bored while he gets his first 50. Nothing to say but sit and look stupid. We are gonna go west then it's break time!! Fun time!!! Dash cam running the whole time so when I do sleep I can just take a look at his driving when we drive team.

    Someday when I get time I will post my experience on being a mentor. So far it;s been a blast and when I am without a student it gets mighty boring...
     
    DenaliDad and scottied67 Thank this.

    You really must learn to talk to yourself more effectively when you're alone! :biggrin_25522:
