Hi, I'm new to the forum but I've been around the website for a while. I mostly come to read the articles here, as they've been informative and entertaining. I've decided to make an account because I'm a new driver in this industry and I need help. I have my CDL, I've completed 40000 miles here at Prime with a trainer, and I'm currently slated for upgrade. I've been sitting here at the Pittston terminal for a week after my trainer disappeared on me. I've completed all my courses, the prime safety course (psc), the elogs class, my computer modules, and the virtual training assessment. I even completed an inspection on a prospective truck yesterday and got acquainted with my fleet manager/dispatcher. However, now I'm at a loss. Sorry, but nobody has been helpful throughout this entire process. Maybe it's just me but it feels like I'm just a nuisance to people here at this terminal. I'm not trying to cause problems, just find answers. So, before I have another horrible exchange with someone here, I thought I'd take to the forum and ask you all what I ought to expect moving forward. The guys in the office and shop have my number, but I doubt I'll hear from them unless I go out of my way to speak to them face to face. Should I just hang out here in the bunk and wait for a call that most likely won't come, or should I put on my big boy pants and try to speak to someone directly about how I should proceed? Put another way, what should I expect moving forward at this point? Am I being paid trainee pay for sitting around and twiddling my thumbs here at the terminal? I really just want to get rolling already, so any feedback would be appreciated.
