Your ability to drive doesn't mean squat if you can't perform other aspects of the job. Driving the truck is only half the battle.

This attitude is why students fail. Get in a trainers truck with this attitude and you're going to get a attitude adjustment, right before the trainer kicks you off their truck.

Man up! Going with a trainer is only going to be beneficial to you! Just wait till day one, 5pm at the Flyin J with a handful of spots left, you will be crying for a trainer! Or sitting atop Donner's Pass in January wondering how you are going to get down!

I too was just like you and opted to not go with a trainer. Worst mistake of my life! Luckily I ended up at another company cause I couldn't hack it out there with the first company cause I didn't go with a trainer and had no clue what I was doing. The second company was team driving and I ended up with a senior driver of the company who showed me the ropes. Difference was night and day! I learned more on day one with that guy then I did the whole time in school and on my own! Don't be that dummy out on the interstate that everyone is yelling at on the CB cause he doesn't know what he's doing! Man up and go with a trainer. Its 4 weeks of you 85 years of life!

Besides, I can almost guarantee you will have a good time out there with your trainer and be very glad you made that decision. Plus you will end up making more money more quickly instead of wondering around the country aimlessly trying to figure it all out.

I agree every new driver fresh out of school should be with a trainer. What I don’t agree with, is the 8 weeks with one. It’s entirely too long to be caged in a box with a stranger.
