- - Warning signs of a bad trainer (https://www.classadrivers.com/forum/new-truck-drivers-get-help-here/26325-warning-signs-bad-trainer.html)

* has more bottles of urine in the truck then you have fingers and toes!
* actually makes you drive around a curve (forward) while using only the side mirrors and not allowing you to look out the windshield and tells you that you need to practice this on the highway!
* shows you how he hits construction cones with his rear trailer wheels... just for fun
* President of the company tells him to clean off the dashboard of the truck, so he throws it on the floor... with everything else
* You aren't allowed to wear shoes in the truck when out of the driver seat because you will ruin all the stuff on the floor
* Tells you he won't be passing you until he has another trainee ready to go out because he isn't giving up that training money
* The first time meeting gives you a huge lecture on how he hates women and doesn't believe in God and how this is his truck and he will burp and fart and do whatever he bleep bleep feels like. You know it's going to be a long training session!
* like others have said - wants you to falsify log books & doesn't know what a shower is

I can honestly say I have had 2 diffrent trainers, one with Trans Am, and one with RT's both where realy good people.

I also never had a trainer per say mine was my father sitting in that jumpseat going your turn and if you grind a gear pull over and start all over. Now I will admit this thread is funny but there are a few bad TRAINESS also like 1 they are in the last month of training and can still only drive 150 miles in 8 hours 2. can not follow I-10 across Texas. That guy was told sorry you will not make it. 3 The worst one I had was the one that QUIT while we were heading into the yard so he would GRADUATE to his own truck and he left me sitting in the truck stop with just a note stating sorry I do not want to be a truck driver.

Sorry about that.... 8) I did it that color for an "obvious reason"... :?

PhuzzyGnu..... I'm afraid that trainer would have found the side of his head dented with that long "bindertightenerthingy" skateboarders use...... And thats "no sh!t"!!
