","text":"Your trainer failed you. Anyone can teach backing. It’s THE most important thing to know. My last truck was backed into on 5 separate occasions because someone failed to teach young drivers how to back. There is no excuse for that. ","replyToPid":39075}

639250 发表于 2019-05-20 19:42:53 Yea I would like too but my current trainer is more focused on getting our loads there and talking on his headset than with actually training me much to be honest,\n but we have been getting mostly hot loads as well so I can understand that I guess what really bugs me is I’ve been training two weeks only have about 3 weeks left and he hasn’t allowed me to back once and also hasn’t allowed me to get any points from fueling 😔

","text":"You should be doing ALL of the driving, ALL of the backing, ALL of the paperwork/computer work. It’s the only way to learn. \nDriver trainers are such a joke. ","replyToPid":39070}

{"replyTo":"","text":"Fu@k Your trainer that POS, First off always try to run every shift as close to your 11 hrs as possible, That's good for you to learn to run hard, Second keep in mind your training is not FREE you're most likely getting paid crap in order for your carrier to make money back for training you, So get out of the mindset that ANYONE there is doing you any kind of favors, If your so called trainer is not doing his job by Teaching you at min. the basics and not allowing you to get experience in you backing, which is one of the most important things to know, Get a new trainer this Fu@k is not only cheating you by not giving you the training you are paying for, But STEALING your  points, If you have your own fuel card get your own REWARDS card you don't need his permission to get one! and use it. Let  your Driver Manager and throw that low life under the bus. You are entitled to receive the proper training. Don't settle for terribly poor training. I went through the same experience at CR England more than 5years ago. The only thing my POS trainer taught me was to run hard, I had to learn to back on my own, I had only backed 3 times when I was told I was out of training and hit the road Solo. And Please don't get out of training and become a trainer, They asked me to be a trainer right after training I told hell no, How could I train ANYONE if I didn't even know what I was doing!! depending on what   speed your truck is governed and the speed you drive, And speed limit determines if you are driving, for Example West Coast regional  I can get about 580 miles per 11 hr. shift speed limit is 55 mph in California Oregon and Washington is 55-65mph, But my truck is not Governed but running West Coast to East Coast the speed limit is 75 mph as soon as I hit Arizona it's 75 mph so I  can get 700+ per driving shift. I know it's alot of information but it's not explained in a few words. Hope it helps good luck.","replyToPid":0}
