Profile For Rookie in Training

Well after all that was said and done I did get an email back from my company that they said they wanted me back, but sense I have put in a few calls and got nowhere with my company. I did get another job with a bulk tank company and I think that this is a better place for me to be. I’m in a union shop great benefits and a ton of hours to boot so in all I think that I might have found a place that I can retire from and have a great career with. Thanks for all your help with this matter.

Hi all I didn’t quit the company I just had my trainer drop me off at a truck stop close to my house, that said I had no idea on how to or what to do to get ahold of anyone at my terminal to get me a new trainer until I got home, so I put a call in and they told me that they were going to pass it along and that it was up to the training coordinator to see if they are going to be able to help me out. So now I’m just sitting here waiting on a phone call to see if they are going to do anything for me or not...

Hi all hope everyone is doing well. to start out with I have had my class B CDL for a while now and went to a driving school to up grade to a class A so I did just that and got a job with a big carrier I'm not going to disclose the name of the company, So on my first day out with this trainer thats an owner operator I couldn't bring any food with me to have something to eat while on the road for one and while I was driving to the upper midwest we got caught in bad weather on a major interstate with construction and heavy down pouring rain bad wiper blades and very low visibility me as a brand new driver just out of school and just got my class A trying to drive this 80,000 LB truck in bad weather I had all I could do to keep the truck between in my lane and on a 70 mph high way I had to keep the truck at 62 mph but felt unsafe going that fast so I backed it down to 55 mph and was getting yelled at to keep it at 62 mph and around 4.5 hours in to the trip with all of this that was going on and me white knuckling the wheel and getting very tired was just trying to make some small talk to help keep my mind at ease and was yelled at and had a phone thrown in my face and was told that I'm trying to watch a movie so keep it down!! and at that point that was the straw that broke my back and the next day told this trainer I was done I'm going home!!! so all this said it was my first and worst experience that I ever had as an intro in to the trucking industry. is this the normal for trainer to treat a brand new trainee? just trying to find out because if it is then I don't want any part of the trucking industry and will give up my cdl all together!!!
