Personally, I do not like lease operators training future company drivers. Most lease operators run on thin margins and becoming a trainer is a easy way to put extra money in their pocket. Unfortunately it leads to many people who shouldn't be trainers teaching new drivers and since their hearts aren't in it they just don't seem to care.
Just try to stick it out to the end, it sounds like you are learning something which is what's important. Plus you never know your next trainer might be worse.
Can’t be worse than my trainer. He’s always in a rush. Doesn’t teach me things the proper way. He’s only been a driver for 6 months. I’m requesting a new trainer. Someone with more knowledge. And doesn’t treat me like I’m just some extra money because he say he’s a “hustler” I thought trainers were passionate about teaching. But I guess I was wrong. Because he just wants to keep his truck moving. People say “stick with it”! But would you wanna be on the road with someone who was trained by a driver with only 6 months experience. And he can’t back up if his life depended on it. On two occasions, another driver had to get in his truck and back it for him. But I’m supposed to not ask for a new trainer? What am I learning from a novice?
Santoy, i gave you the name of the manager to contact. I have his email and phone number. I told you to email me but i didnt see an email. Did u send one? Do not wait until the weekend because then the weekend/night crew will be on and nothing will be able to be done.
One advantage to having a rookie trainer? They still remember what it is like being new. Usually they are more compassionate about understanding what it is like being away from home, switching times, and adjusting to a lifestyle. This thread was about a driver who had 50 students in the past. Experience didn't make him any better.
Hang in there. Talk to chris martin.
