Prime Inc - changing TNT trainer

Thanks for the advice, Brett. I'll certainly take it into consideration. I haven't made any decisions yet. Mostly just trying to figure out what my options are should I need to make a change. My past attempts at calm conflict resolution with this guy have not been particularly effective, but I suppose I can try it again. I'll mull this over.

Prime Inc - changing TNT trainer

Hey guys. I've been lurking here for a bit but this is my first post. I'm a newbie. Just passed my CDL test a little over a week ago. I went through Prime's PSD training and just recently started TNT. I love the job. I enjoy the lifestyle. But I'm having some difficulty with my trainer. He's a fairly decent guy about 85% of the time. One problem has been developing since the start of my TNT phase, though. The guy gets very impatient and angry every time I make a mistake. I'm not screwing up everything, but I'm not perfect either. I'm a trainee. I'm going to make mistakes. It's getting to the point where I'm afraid to try anything new (a new backing maneuver, learning new parts of the job) for fear of how this guy is going to get angry and talk down to me if I mess something up. I feel like I'm walking on eggshells around him every day. It's a very stressful personality conflict.

I could probably deal with him until the end of TNT, but I honestly don't really want to. I'm not going to quit if I'm stuck with him, but it may be best to just switch trainers if that's an option. Problem is, nobody in orientation really told me if I was allowed to change trainers or who to contact in order to do that. Is there anyone here familiar with Prime's procedures who could advise me on my next steps here?
