Profile For Evan P.

Wow this sounds like my trainer with tmc. I have been through their school and just finished my first week with my trainer and am very likely not getting back in the truck tomorrow. He's not a ****head in general, he just has no patience and even though I've been driving a truck for all of a week will start cursing and berating me and putting me down when I mess up a back because I set it up wrong. I'm still out here just trying to make sure I'm not hitting stuff and he loses it because I'm not getting a back on the first try. I can handle pressure, but when someone with authority like that is mad at me and yelling, the stress just causes me my critical thinking to short circuit while I desperately try to un**** my mistake. Yes this field can be stressful, but why let trainers make it even harder by just piling it on guys fresh out of school who barely know how to drive the damn thing. We were all new once and didn't have a damn clue, but because the old timers were treated like **** they act like it's a rite of passage, when we should be given patience and grace while we learn these skills, instead of berating and condescension. Guy even had the nerve to call it common sense on my last one I messed up, as if training and licensing would be necessary if any of this was common sense.
