    Well my trainer is functionally retarded. But I am getting my wheel time so I am happy about that. He can barely read and doesnt know his left from right. I am wondering how he passed the trainers program.

    He hasnt been able to answer even one of my questions yet, and insists on reading the confidential eval report I have to turn in on him weekly.

    Lucky for me Greg is an excellent instructer and gave me all the tools i needed, as long as I can keep getting my wheel time I only need his CDLs till i get mine

    Yeah the walmart was drop an hook so we got up about 100ish miles or so out of the way heading to Mass. Stopped for the night in banjo country GA at a truck stop called Grady's. Not a bad place, red dirt lot for parking, free wifi, but the kitchen is closed on sundays.

    How long have you been out with your trainer, if its bad I would call and ask for a new one.

    just finished week 2. I was thinking of calling to ask for a new trainer but wasnt sure if they frown on that sort of thing, and i need to keep the paychecks coming in and cant afford to be sitting and waiting on another

    It takes more than just sitting behind the wheel to learn the ropes and be a decent driver. If it is that bad I would talk to the dispatcher about it and request to get somebody that will train you properly.

    Oh you went there didnt you.....LOL!

    Bear is right - if you're not able to learn from your trainer then it's up to you to request another one. Dont do like some have and dont change then want to blame them not passing on their trainer.

    Also - posting about his inabilities/abilities on a public message board might not be the proper thing to do - just sayin! (never know who reads these)
