No problems 8) I was just giving you a hard time about it since it's rare I get to be the first to chime in on something like this :wink:
You know, it terrifies me in general who's training our new drivers... and not just at Swift. I'm the first to admit that I won't take students for one major reason - I've only got about two and a half years behind the wheel myself! Then again, I've seen some drivers out here training with decades of experience that are STILL giving our rookies the wrong information... perhaps simple longevity in the business isn't the best measure of a mentor/trainer after all.
You are right though, a quick shuffle through the regs would have answered this, and I know for a fact at orientation Swift hands out a copy (at least they did as of last February!)... but one would think for the mentor, a basic understanding of logbook rules and regulations would have to be a requirement!
You know, I'd love to work with students... I think it's why I hang around the rookie forums on here more than anything. But - and it's a big one... I'm a Type A personality with a strong "self preservation instinct" that can't handle working with a complete newbie behind the wheel of MY truck I think :wink: I don't know if I'd be able to pass the blood pressure test for my medical card renewal... :lol: Maybe they should hire me to train the trainers.... LOL
