Awesome advice! I totally agree just have to deal with whatever comes your way, its only a temporary situation.

The perverted stuff is completely disrespectful and should not be tolerated.

Thank you!

What do you think is the best way to handle being on the road with your trainer? Should you just do whatever your told (within reason) and follow a "your truck=your rules" approach, while asking pertinent questions?

I have read so many instances of "trainees" complaining about "trainers" and just find it hard to imagine that these "mean trainers" are really that bad.

Your trainer is there not to be your friend, but to show you the job. Get through it and learn. Ask questions, do research if the person doesnt seem to know. Understand training is a short time, but will affect your future.

Understand many trainers have rules or attitudes towards students because of prior students. Example.. i have to tell students not to go through my cabinets. My personal belongings are in there, and often women go snooping through to imagine their own belongings in the space and how they will organize. It is the equivelent of me going to your house and snooping through your bedroom closet and drawers. Including your underwear drawer.

I had a student on here who asked me to train him and i agreed. He then became a pervert on the truck, asking me to shower with him, and took pics of me saying "i still see you" whenever we were off the truck.

One student kept driving in the on coming traffic lane while i was sleeping. She didnt know a double solid yellow line was on coming traffic. One woman didnt want to use public restrooms. Huh? In this job please explain that one!

Bizarre Statements from CDL Students

Why do CDL Students Get Kicked Off a Truck?

A great trainer wants a great student, and revels in your success. A miserable trainer wants you for the money. Either way, the more the truck runs, the more money the trainer will make, and happier trainer you will have. If you are demonstrating you are learning, both trainers benefit.

Question: if you have to put up with a jerk for a month, but know you could make a million dollars over the next 10 years... can you survive that person.for a few weeks and never see them again?

If you let one person or one company hamper your perspective of trucking, you do yourself a disservice. You could quit and prevent yourself from acheiving a life long skilll.

Yes, there are bad trainers. There are great trainers. You can still learn from a bad trainer, even if it is what not to do. There are horrible students also. You dont want the trainers to assume you are a stalking, inconsiderate, unsafe driver who will kill them. So do not presume your trainer will be horrible and tyrannical.
