    Welcome to the cold hard realities of truck Driver training....sux eh?

    Unless this guy has had some issues in the past. You might be hard pressed to find something else, if Pam isn't understanding. I'd lay even money, thats what you have to do....find something else.

    Keep us updated.

    well thats fine i am willing to find something else thats not a problem. But at the same time he was lying on log books and making me doctor mine so if it comes down to it i will take it to the next level i did reach someone at corporate office today i got to call back tomorow and talk to someone. I don't like this idea i don't mind to walk away from pam and go somewhere else that doesn't bother me if i can do it with clean dac record that almost way i prefer it keep ya updated.

    I bet you're going to be on PAM's excrement list. :yes2557:
    Threatening to take matters "to the next level" will just about guarantee they'll give you a bad time and a bad recommendation from them in the future. It may be illegal to bad-mouth you to another potential employer, but believe me, they have their codes and ways to identify what they consider a trouble maker.
    Not a good way to start a career.
    Why not just go along with the trainer for the short time you'll be with him? Then, when you're on your own, log it 100% legal if you want to.
    I think you'll soon discover the reason your trainer did what he did and learn what a PITA logging 100% legal is with many companies.
    Logging wasn't invented by Big truck truck drivers, --- it was invented by desk drivers. Most of whom haven't a clue what the trucking industry is all about.

    If you feel it's necessary to leave any company, it's not wise to burn any bridges. Just go your way.
    Don't rock the boat unnecessarily when the voyage has just begun.
    They might just throw you overboard in shark infested waters.

    Good luck.
    I think you're gonna need it.

    Reality usually sets in at the 6 month mark.

    It really smacks them in the ### when they see other drivers with a paycheck thats a good 30%+ higher than theirs every week.

    And I agree, getting on that #### list can be a pain. But, if an employer will overlook it for a trial period. They generally realize how much BS it was to begin with (if it was sour grapes). Been there done that too. Have a closet full of the T-shirts.
