yeah kcoiv, its not readily appearent to new drivers entering the occupation that when and if a hypothetical situation like this happens. you run the likelyhood of getting an abandonment on your dac/usis file,
then ur realy s.o.l.

A sucker is born every minute.. and if ANYONE is buying this story, they'll buy the "My Car is out of gas and my mother is sick/dead and I lost my wallet with all my credit cards". I have been hot up with this dumb story MANY times! This guy may have GOTTEN off the truck, but I'd be willing to bet that he was not THROWN off the truck. This is political suicide for the trainer and for the company.

I gaurentee you there was more to it than that, but thats beside the fact the trainer was unprofessional about it. If it was our trainer he would get canned with a quickness.

There is no way in hell somebody is going to get stuck with a abandonment if they got kicked off the truck by their trainer. It wouldn't happen if they up and quit voluntarily. The trainee is not the one responsible for the welfare of the truck. What s stupid and completely irresponsible statement to make. But looking at the source I can't say I'm surprised.

Well all I did was set the cab up no money was given to him.... He told me that he was having some problums backing and the trainer did not think he would make it as a truck and he said he called in and they told him we would have to find his own way home or get to a bus station..... I guess it was a small company 300 trucks I told him I would of waited to call in and told them at the terminal about what happend.......

Re: Trainer Left Trainee at a truck stop?
 

If this is what actually happened it's outrageous-dispicable-and uncalled for. Hope the guy seeks a resolution to this.

yea would like to know the whole story

I may be new to being a truck driver, but there's no way that I would let someone leave me. Whether it was his truck or not, I would've refused to get off of the truck regardless of what his opinion is. He got me there, and he would've gotten me back home or to a company terminal!

read slowly so you understand.
The student/ is assigned to the truck he is a licensed driver, the student abandons the truck, ie quits in training. This is legally reportable and done all the time why dont you just read the company policy sheet he or she signed.
another example for your weak mind the trainee decides to ram another vehicle according to your logic its not his fault and shouldnt get the accident on his dac. The rules apply to all drivers whether their new or not.The only place to leave a truck is a terminal or with written authorization from such term.

What company and how do you know the whole story? You only heard one side. The trainee may have decided he wanted to go home. It's bad press for a company to do that so it makes me question if it actually happened.
