Well im here in Calixico, CA doing my reset. I'll be leaving cali with a load to New York. It looks like they are sending me coast to coast during my training. I guess its a good thing because it makes my 4 weeks training go by really fast. I am doing really well with the truck and manuvers and backing. Well i'll keep everyone updated, BE SAFE everyone. Mr.2nite
123456 and RetiredCPO Thank this. -
Well I left California and headed to New York. Everything went fine. My trainer is not as good as i thoought he would be. He didnt allow me to back as much as I thought I should. He was quick to tell me he has ADHD and has to take Ritland for it. I was a little worried about that. I begin to ask him questions about me practicing backing and he blew it off. I really dont think he had the patience to help me. My problem with that is, he never attemped to allow me to show him I could back pretty well. He was not comfotable with me I believe. I drove 10 1/2 hours everyday since we left the terminal. I had an average of 620 miles everyday. 677 was my highest. On the trip from New York to Minnesota he called the company and told them I had sleep problems and between 8 am and 12 pm i was sleepy. Where did he get that from?? I sure in the hell dont know. I heard that and I said wow, this guy is crazy how can he tell them something like that and I never complained of being tired or never was tired during that time. I could not believe he said that. So I ask him, "hey if you THOUGHT i was tired during those hours man, why did you let me continue driving 10-11 hours a day non-stop 600+ miles". He was speechless. Good thing our truck was on E-Logs so our company was able to see that I was doing all that driving. The company told me because he told them that I would have to come home and have a sleep apnea test done at my own expense. I was soooo upset. I felt so discouraged and irritated with them. I guess it was a good thing that I was able to get off his truck but I was upset because it put a hold on my training. So I had to go see my primary doctor and he cleared me back to continue my training, stating I have no problems with sleep apnea. I really hope I get a better trainer this time. I was just so shocked because I thought everything was going well and that guy just came up with something like that from no where. I hope he will not be a trainer for long. I feel like he used me for all the miles and was not really interested in training me. I will hopefully be leaving with my new trainer tomorrow or Tuesday. I pray everything will be ok. I will update soon. Be Safe everyone!
