The "human centipede" theory of why trainers are horrible to their trainees.
This job is inherently very stressful and dangerous. It makes many drivers very salty. Defense mechanisms become rampant. They become salted to the point that they are old pickles and then the old pickles are training cucumbers. What a perfect breeding ground for personality conflicts. Many times when you hear about a bad trainer, the trainer isn't actually bad. Many times the cucumber just can't handle the pickle.
I find this post very interesting. First off I have not seen the movie based on my knowledge of the premise :) Secondly, my guy is doing his TNT as we speak and all he talks about is how many different trainers have tried to get him to go with them, with varying promises of more money, or home time, etc. Maybe he is the exception though, after reading this thread. Appreciate the insight! <3
You should be very proud of your guy if that's the experience he's having here. He must be showing initiative and promise, or maybe he's just networking really well, but he must be doing a great job. Let him know how proud of him you are because this TNT period will be the most difficult span of time he will have in his career.

Yet more pipe out of Cedar City, Utah, this time with three stops in the Arid Zone. Dropped at Lake Havasu City and Flagstaff today, last stop tomorrow morning in a suburb of Phoenix. Next load will take me home for four or five days of home time, which I am more than looking forward to.
Lucky. That's basically my favorite load. I love picking up in CC and running in the desert. I once tried to talk Prime into letting me do some sort of dedicated work out of there.
Too late now, but I should have told you to eat at Lulu's in Ash Fork, i40 x146. Such good food.

What information should I know from the CDL handbook to pass a Permit test?
Yes, you absolutely can. When I got mine, I got the endorsements my company required, and then I tried doubles/triples for the heck of it even though it wasn't needed, and I got that one too.

Quick Question About PSD Training
Please go into the sim lab and find either Sean or Bryan. They will help you get to where you need to be on your pre-trip. As far as your backing concerns, also present that and they will help you in every way they can in your journey to obtain your CDL.
