","text":"With a new trainee a trainer will not be sleeping while the new trainee is driving. That take a 10 hour break trainee sleeps on the top bunk trainer in his or her bunk. I’m not a coed trainer some company’s require the trainer to get a motel for the night. Then flip a coin to see who gets the room and who gets the truck","replyToPid":22584}

","text":"He won’t be sleeping while you’re driving until you’ve passed your cdl after you’ve logged a certain amount of hours or miles. He will be in passenger seat while you drive until you actually get your cdl, by then you should feel comfortable driving while he sleeps. Good luck to you!","replyToPid":22572}

664962 发表于 2019-04-27 13:25:16 I read that you can’t sleep in the top bunk while the truck is moving... does that mean we sleep in the same bed while the other guy is driving

","text":"That is exactly what’s going to happen \nThank you!  I heard so many different things\nNot sure if it differs from each trainer or a lot of exaggeration!!\nAppreciate you taking the time to help","replyToPid":22589}

345387 发表于 2019-04-27 14:22:51 From what I know you don’t drive by yourself till your trainer thinks you’re ready. So while you’re driving/training he or she should be in the front seat instructing you and not sleeping. Then when you’re done driving he or she can either take over driving or you guys just do a ten. I don’t know if every trainer would do that though, that’s just how I would see it done properly.

148877 发表于 2019-04-27 15:05:15 I started out with USXPRESS also, I had a lady trainer that I had requested n she was great. \nYes technically your not supposed to sleep on the top bunk while the truck is in motion. The trainer stays in the front passenger seat until he or she feels it’s safe for you to drive. Sometimes you’ll catch them snoozing in the front seat.  I could never fall a sleep while anyone was driving. I like to be aware of my surroundings n how the trainer would drive.  Hope this helps. 😊  Good luck with your training. Welcome lady trucker 👍🏻✊🏻😊

","text":"Thank you very much\nThe trainer seems to be very good \nSo far I’m happy but pretty early in the process😉\nAppreciate you taking the time to help me!!\nI’m anxious to learn all I can","replyToPid":22611}
