    Ive been fortunate, I know my trainer and I think it has been a blessing and a problem. More is expected out of me, and he gets it. Thankful.

    I have the BEST trainer now... after 3 weeks of living surrounded by urine bottles, having to be witness to temper tantrums, hearing racial slurs, and TO TOP it OFF... driving on MY clock every day.... he had a tantrum where he destroyed the qualcom and he would not do paper logs.... we drove without records for 2 thousand or more miles!!! I finally had enough and sent an e-mail and was taken off his truck... I do hope he no longer trains...
    My new trainer has an immaculate truck, is teaching me how to manage my HOS, is a true prof

    Actually the guy was the second and I kept tolerating stuff... like driving on my clock... because he made it seem it was o.k... Any trainee out there... you can lose your license and you can get arrested for this little offense... no joke! And I am talking YOU... and the trainer... if a trainer asks YOU to do something illegal it is your license for agreeing to it....
    My new trsiner explained this to me

    So you washed out with two trainers already? Let's see how long you last with this one. I was sympathetic to your situation at first but now realize others were right when they said you're the problem.

    my first trainer was an O/O for transam had completed his lease and puchased the truck
    we head out to calf
    he says the power steering isnt working but i cant afford to fix it..............huh
    then comes nightfall he says
    leave the highbeams on one low beam is burned out...........huh
    on a 2 lane road no less
    I said we get to a TS I will replace the bulb for you
    "OH you wanna spend my money"
    we get to arizona losing power
    I said the fuel filters need changing
    he thinks it is the def so does 4 regens swearing the whole time
    i says i will change the fuel filters for you if you want
    oh what do you know........ I owned 35 diesels in my life on boats and trucks!!!!!!!!!!!
    but he wont spend the money
    4 hours later we are dead on the side of the road
