Looking For New Prime Tnt Trainer

My name is Brian, I left my flatbed tnt trainer for reasons some of you can imagine and to switch to reefer. I have about 7k miles already and currently waiting in Springfield. Anybody free and need a student or can make a recommendation? Thanks!

Cheers, Brian

Paging . . . 'Truckin Along with Kearsey!'

Brian, are you wanting to stay reefer now, then???????

Here's a link to her Y/T channel; might even be info within!

Sure wishing you the best; I bet either she, or one of our other (many) Primates will stop in shortly. Check this out, in the meantime:

Kearsey

Best wishes!!!

Thanks Anne! Kearsey is actually the person I consulted when I wanted to switch to reefer. I do intend to stick to reefer , I just had a badly stacked load of aluminum and almost fell trying to tarp it. I figured some tarp pay isn't going to be worth it if I can't work because I'm injured

I do intend to stick to reefer

Brian, of course I don't know you, but you seem to get frustrated easily and make rash decisions. I remember your story about hanging up on the Pep Boys rep and then that backfiring on you. Now you didn't like the way a flatbed load was and you have quit flatbed. What is going to happen when you find something to dislike about reefer?

I'm not trying to point out any faults of yours, but I just think you need to make a commitment to something and stick it out. You are new to all this. I haul nothing but aluminum loads. I have never seen one that couldn't be tarped safely. I think probably you just didn't care for tarping. Could that be right? I'm asking because you have to realize there are going to be plenty of things about trucking you may not be thrilled with. Reefer has it's own set of problems. You had originally picked flatbed for a reason. What changed? Surely you knew you would be climbing on loads to tarp them. Wasn't there some safety equipment put in place to keep you from falling? All the aluminum plants I go to are very strict with their safety protocols.

I think you are just experiencing rookie jitters. You need to make a real commitment to something and keep getting back on the horse every time you get thrown. There's going to be a lot of difficulties to getting this career off to a decent start. Stick with it and make something happen. If you are constantly on the hunt for the easiest way to get this done, you will soon be back home and looking for a job.

Getting started in a trucking career is challenging. I know that well. Trucking is not an ordinary job. It is an extraordinary career that requires extraordinary people. It is as much a lifestyle change as it is a career change. The training is hurried, and requires a person to process a lot of information in a short time. It requires learning new skills quickly and efficiently. It’s no walk in the park. It’s a big challenge. How we respond to those challenges helps formulate our future in this career. I want to see you enjoying success at this. That will require resilience and commitment.

I think that's a bit unfair to judge me as a person based on two posts, first of all i have been extremely patient with pep boys, but after having sitting outside in 90 degree weather for hours I'm sure you would get frustrated too, but I'm not going to dive deep into that. Secondly I assumed I could do flatbed without issue, and i know everything comes with its own set of problems, I didn't just quit based on one bad load but it gradually became something I didn't think I wanted and could do for the foreseeable future, so instead of wasting everybody's time I made the decision to switch to reefer. You can't possibly know the entire situation based on what I've told you. Like the lingering pain in my shoulder from my gym days, climbing and tarping will become painful and eventually, unbearable, but I chose to not make excuses and mention that, only that I wanted to switch divisions, respectfully.
