When I was in the last day they offered to let my husband take the finisher course and "train" me for 7500 miles, we both laughed, I taught him to drive and back. I was very nervous on their course and at one point one of the saftey guys started yelling at me, so I started yelling back. This was (wouldn't you know it ) that I failed the course by exactly*** 1 point.
I'm sorry you feel you were being picked on. Could it possibly be that the fact that you yelled back to an employee showed them - - You would do the same to a custiomer :?: , which they have worked hard to get. .... No way are they gonna let someone represent them in that manner . ..... I'm sure your feelings were deeply hurt and your ego was damaged a bit, because you say you taught her husband how to drive and back .... And as a female driver, we seem to work harder at getting respect on the job. And you weren't getting the pat on your back for teaching your husband - instead - he was being looked at as a Finisher - not you. :cry: ... I would understand - I really would. ... But we must keep our temper in tack ,.... at all times.
I worked for CFI - went throught the exact orination or ect .. everyone goes through. Sure, Roger can be a bit stern, but lets face it .... they have a RIGHT to be, their not going to let someone get into an expensive piece of equipment ~ take charge of a tractor that could very easily kill someone ~ and the cost to just repair one of those trucks because someone with a big ego tried to do the impossible in it ... I've seen overly confident people tear up a tractor in a short period of time because they already thought they knew everything. ............. Being apply to steer that tractor and back it ... is the easy part. Anyone can do it ... but having the maturity to deal with people and handle CFI's business in a professional manner is another thing all together. ..... for the most part ... CFI is a darn good company to work for
... they take good care of their equipment and their employees.
Just starting out I dare say you'll find another company that runs down the hwy with as much Pride .... DOT never gave me any trouble, they know our trucks are kept up and they also know that CFI only hires a certain caliber of people......
I hope you and your husband find another company that can offer you just as good a package deal .... Good luck in the future.
