Send a Qcom message to the head of Saftey and flat out ask for a new trainer for your health and the fact he is flat out UNSAFE AS A TRAINER.

Fact is you may have been a decent trainer ,But the majority of trainers are not , And the chances of ending up in pretty much the same situation is pretty good . And pretty much every trainer will use him as a second set of hours ,as it is this second set of hours that allows the trainer to run extra miles at a discount CPM and make an alright check from jumbo sized miles by running like a team , so because almost every trainer at Werner is a trainer because Werner pays JACK SH$T per mile and their trips for solo OTR drivers look more like runs YELLOW ROADWAY would do it leaves only way to make money Which is to run an absurd amount of miles by putting a student on your truck . With this student you will also see some very long runs ...Like you should in the first place as an OTR driver ...
Here is something for the student to ponder...You are making a gross pay rate of $325.00 WK if you go 48 state you will start out at .26 CPM , and very likely you will only see 1800-2000 miles per wk , so you will only be making on average about $180.00 more than in training...And lets hope you don't go on one of those Regional fleets like Western or any of them as you will be making 15 CPM on your deadhead...That's right I said .15CPM DEADHEAD , And you will be making .21 Cpm on trips at 500miles and over ,Which is funny ,Because it seems that with this discounted rate of .21 CPM for trips at 500 or more you see tons of them plus a few hundred DH miles ....This makes for average pay weeks of around $500.00 GROSS @2500 miles on these regional runs , Which you may not always see 2500 miles a week at the...W....All this and you get paid by household movers guide miles to boot . I rember running a full 1000 mile trip between DH/LD miles and only made $170.00 because of the .15 CPM deadhead . You will go from running tons of miles as a student at $325 wk to running at most 2500wk with many 1800 mile weeks , and your issues will trade from a bad trainer to making JACK sH$T as a qualified driver :wink:
