Swift Mentor not safe in ice and snow

I would talk to the Safety department and explain to them what your mentor is doing.

 

Yes report this imbecile to your safety dept. at once. What an idiot.

 

Act fast. Don't wait until you're in a ditch or worse.

 

Everyone has their own comfort level in different driving conditions, when others are “uncomfortable” and shut down, I will keep driving because after 23 winters out here my comfort level will exceed what some guy who has only been out here a few years.

 

I would stay in my lane.

Mind my own business drive my own way and just try to get off that truck fast and smooth.

If you complain to safety they probably won’t do anything. If they call him he will know it’s you, create drama, waste time, probably be dropped off and have to wait for a new trainer, all this crap can be avoided by just keeping to yourself.

 

call your safety dept. the mentor is a fool

i got 40 years winter driving, and no matter what, i never feel "too comfortable"

i think once someone "feels too overly confident or comfortable", is when crap happens.

it's like driving with complacency. and that's not a good idea.

there was/is no need for the o/p's mentor to drive the way he does, what's he trying to prove, and to whom..????


o/p, again contact the safety dept, and put a nail in that whack jobs coffin...

it "may seem like" you're ratting him out, when it is rather self preservation of not only YOU, but other trainee's in the future...

remember, you may be dead by his driving, but he will go on to another job, only to continue doing his bull crap.

i don't "feel", he has any conscience......

 

you see, i am as different from some of the others here..

what do i mean...??

i drop dimes (an old saying) on stuff that is (to me) totally unsafe.

now, some have said, for you to call the safety dept, for sure, but i do not stop, i keep pursuing things.

when it is (say) someone driving over a bush in a customers yard, i can look the other way, crap happens.

but when it is a moron (my description from what you say here), he/she/it, needs to be removed from a training position, and maybe from the company as well.

if you report him (and i really wish you would), and let's say 1 week or 2 months from now he has a major wreck, i'd be of the belief that finishes him off, not just from Swift, but perhaps permanently as well...

looking at it another way...would you rather have a safer driver, behind you (when you go solo), driving carefully, or this jerk coming up your donkey, possibly rear ending you, causing you to either jackknife, go into a ditch or over a bridge????

do what is right, and safe not only for you, but others out there on our roads.

 

When you were assigned to a mentor, you were also assigned a coordinator at your terminal. You have that person's name and phone number. That's who you call if you have ANY problems with your mentor and if your post is legitimate you would know this.

In that you haven't already done this makes me question whether your post is nothing more than drama queen crap.
