Swift Mentor Saftey Concerns

You will find a percentage of solos walking in flip flops in some truckstops that just had a rain that is only now beginning to move the human wastes left on that lot.

With that said, Ive seen some good and bad and refuse to wallow in it. There are some willfully wallowing in their cabs. I don't think you will be one of those.

I had three trainers, one in particular was a cornerstone of everything afterwards. His first demand, a clean truck. That cigarette wrapper, off that floor now. Right now. *CLOCK! (Punch) That would be back when a certain amount of reinforcement was used. Not so much today. I had other trainers, but they don't deserve that title. I get out of there as soonest.

 

Stopped reading to comment about the part about the hygiene. You have a travel agent. If you have a problem with some stinky driver who refuse to bath, call the travel agent. Have you called your travel agent? No? then shame on you.

(Here's the part where I sound like a First Class A Hole. Do not read any further if you are the type person who wants their ears tickled)










Now, you're trying to paint a picture, and there are certain things in your post that rub me the wrong way.

You are part of the problem. Religious beliefs, political preferences, sexual preferences...WHATEVER...are personal. if your trainer is talking to you about anything personal, that means that Y-O-U had to be the one to bring them up in a discussion. Why are Y-O-U discussing personal matters?

"But Six, we should TOLERATE each other's beliefs."

You're absolutely correct. That's why we're not going to talk about them. Because normally the way that goes, when you and I have a disagreement on beliefs, one of us is going to try to impose his or her beliefs upon the other. And you being the student, automatically are at a disadvantage.

It's real simple, hand...Keep your business YOUR business.

"But Six, what if I had to bow down on the mat and pray towards the east at 12 noon?

And we have an appointment to keep? Better learn to do it on the roll.

 

if he has 500,000 safe miles with swift. then whats the problem. i always read same stuff. my trainer this, my trainer that, blah blah. get your training done and get your on truck

 

lol. i needed this. i got 5 hours on my 70 and was feeling like a worthless truck driver. but you have brought me happness

 

A student of history can take apart the 1840's Mexican-American politcal-Military situation versus our Administrations Monroe Doctrine in a few minutes but I wont do that here. I don't mind too much where anyone is from. Being a trainer is difficult enough. Having a audience of one is not welcome.

 

You're the one that said that he was criticizing your personal life. He doesn't know about your personal life. And no, I didn't skip anything. You did. I asked you if you had spoken to your travel agent and if not SHAME ON YOU. All of that nonsense, starting with the hygiene is happening because you are the one that allowed it. See, you can call your other student friends, you can talk to your buddies at the highway patrol, you can post your side of the story at TTR, but if you did not contact your travel agent, who gave you his/her phone number day one at orientation, you didn't do anything.

You chose to be a victim. You are part of the problem.
