Waiting for a trainer!
 
I passed my dot physical and am now waiting for my drug test to come back(should be no problem) I will get my test info back Wed this week! So I am wondering how long does it typically take for your trainer to come in? Oh yea I decided to go with Crete based out of their terminal in Cheyenne. Take Care :D

Are you looking for any one thats a trainer or someone that has your interest in mind. Do not go with the first trainer that shows up. You have to live with this person in a truck for 3,4,5 weeks and your success is in their hands. Be selective.

I am really looking for someone who is going to train me right. So how do you choose a trainer? I did mention to Crete that I would like a trainer with some years driving and training under their belt. But other than that how would I make that decision?

Some other thing to look at. Does he smoke? Do you smoke? Does he shower more than once a week? What does the inside of his truck look like? Is it dirty and if so come you live in it for a month? Overall you need to talk to him and make sure you guys are not going to clash. He can be the best trainer in the world but if you two can not get along it isn't going to work. Good Luck and make sure you ask alot of questions.
