Walked out on mentor

I'd be down for a little rule breaking, but during training I'm paid hourly, so I was essentially working for free, and being run into the ground.

Straight talk, hand…it may be offensive, but that wasn’t the purpose of my post:

Your trainer read you correct. All the dirt that you mentioned in your first post, he’s a dirty rat. But he knows that you like to be dirty too. The thing is, he knew that he could drag your arse through the mud and you wouldn’t do anything. He KNEW that you would allow it. How did he know? If I were you, I would figure out how that fool knew that he could drag you through the mud. Why? Because if you don’t figure it out, it will happen again. And again. Until you learn.

How did he gain access to your personal info? There should be a way for you to log in with the code that your DM gave you and change it to something that no one else knows. Keep your business YOUR business, k? And next time some fool is doing something you don’t like, be it the AC or your logs, or whatever, CHECK HIM IMMEDIATELY. People are only going to do what you allow. If it ain’t cool, don’t be cool with it. Got it?

Luck in battle.

 

The serial killer never tells anyone that he’s a killer. Navy seals and special forces do not hang out at lunch counters. The toughest guy in the bar is never the loudest guy in the bar.

 

You gave your road trainer your driver code, the password, and your social security number.

What the hell?

Did you let him use your credit card too?

 

We both know that the majority of drivers are bending rules to maximize time and to get the most out of their clocks. In fact, I would say that it is exceedingly rare for a driver to adhere 100% to the laws and bylaws of HOS.

What is really being lost here that OP is trying to say is that it would be a different story if he and his trainer were being paid equally and together made a choice to skirt rules for the sake of getting more miles/loads. It's a valid point that his trainer is exploiting the fact that the trainer is a de facto manager.

 

You really think that there is a way to change the login code for e-logs? It's set by the company so that safety personnel are able to get in and access. How do you think they edit logs when needed? My trainer knew my login. My trainer drove on my hours sometimes so that I would be able to sleep and still get hours toward completion of training. To be clear, there is not a way to change the login for e-logs from the the in-cab device.

Dude had a garbage trainer. It's the vast majority of us that would have done the same thing the OP did in just following what the trainer says. It doesn't seem so bad until suddenly you realize that the person is manipulating and exploiting the situation. 100% on the trainer for not taking care of his trainee.

 

My reply was to a targeted audience. My apologies.
