What would you do?

Report him to your Company.

 

Bail. Call your DM, explain the situation, and get routed to the closest terminal and find yourselves a new trainer.

You've got yourself one of those "wonder trainers" of the type typically churned out by bottomfeeder outfits like Werner and Covenant. From your post, it sounds like you are a responsible driver and I'm presuming your husband is the same. So all you need is an equally responsible trainer who will show you the correct responses to whatever new situations you may encounter.

Yes, requesting a new trainer will set your training back while your company looks for another available team trainer. If the company refuses, walk away and join someone else. Teams are still a premium in this industry, especially teams with sparklingly clean MVRs and CSA scores. You will be able to find an outfit that meets your standards.....don't settle for anything less.

 

Take post#2 advice and report him immediately.You need to get off his trk like NOW!!!!!!!!! This guy is into bad habits.I can't believe hes even a trainer.Ask your company to get you and husband a room and come monday,your company will either bring you back to the company for a new trainer or send one to you.It's clear as day you won't last 6 weeks with this poor excuse for a trainer.

 

He's a lieing POS.He's cheating the hours of service and using you 2 just for the miles not training.

 

Got a cell phone? One of you can step outside while doing a drop and hook or whenever the truck is stopped and call the company. Or use the Qualcomm when he's asleep. Stealth can be your friend here. Also, remember there are two of you, one of him. You've got him outnumbered if he decides to get stupid.

 

Mind telling us what company this is so the new drivers knows not to go here?If you get caught for driving over hours because that trainer fudged the books,guess what,it's your ### not his.

 

If he's training teams, I seriously doubt he's putting people out of work for reporting him. As I said previously, teams are a premium in this industry, As in, and I want you to pay close attention here, WORTH THEIR WEIGHT IN GOLD!! Or ammunition, if you're a shooter. Unless you do something like wreck the truck or get CSA points, this one idiot is not going to stop your career.

First step is to contact the company. If they refuse to do anything, gather up all your gear and AFTER you drop your last load take the truck to the closest terminal and leave. If you can't get to a terminal, quit over BOTH the qualcomm and the phone and go to the closest truckstop within reasonable distance from an urban area and leave there. Clearly explain your reasons. You WILL NOT be abandoning the truck, as there will be a company driver still assigned to it when you quit (the trainer).

From the sounds of it, I'm guessing you're stuck with a bottom feeder like CRST or CR England. Trust me when I tell you that no decent outfit is gonna give two farts about what those type of companies say about drivers who quit.
