Training with Alliance Driver a mistake?

Its been 3 days, how about an update?

I had a good chunk of my requirements done within the first week. I was ready to come back to the yard by the end of my 4th week. The lat two things were the NE dock bump and the NW region.

Neither of my trainers would let me back up and truth be known I never did bump the NE dock. He just signed me off. I failed my backing test when it was time to go into grad but I passed it the next day. I should had been more aggressive in this area with my trainers.

You have a trainer that needs to be weeded out in a hurry!

 

There is indeed an evaluation you will fill out. Be honest when filling it out. Maybe if others had done so you wouldn't be going through what you are now. They can bring him back and send him through the trainers course again. Sounds like a refresher would not hurt.

 

I know that if you run out of DEF, you wont go over just a few MPH. Im sure there are other DEF related problems that cause that as well.

Who is your counselor (I understand of you dont want to say)? Are you making the weekly check calls with your counselor Mine (Max) would ask about my miles and other requirements.

And yes, you do grade your trainer. If there are some issues they wont take any action for awhile so the trainer wont know who complained.

 

I thought all trainers drove on students logs. I know mine did.

 

i was backing most of the time with my trainer hunts point,different truckstops along the way etc about the only time he did it was in downtown philly but that was because i drove us in there overnight. i was on the truck 7 weeks due to not being on the westside but it all worked out. glad i had a trainer who actually trained

 

Cool, good luck.

 

I always used to advise against going to Stevens, here's another perfect example..........Good Luck !!
