Having just relatively recently got done going through a company provided school, They didnt offer transportation from the hotel to school either, There was a shuttle there though and I ended up getting rides from a classmate. We became friends and are still in touch today. Its not the employers responsibility to give you a ride to school. If you want it bad enough, youll do what it takes to get there, on time and learn it. I may seem cold, but its just the reality of it. How bad do you want a new career?

It follows suit with your education, your training, your solo time in the truck. I want it, so I pursue it. I constantly asked my instructors questions, my trainer questions, My DM and my DDM questions. I ask a ton of em here. Sometimes I dont like the answers, and those times are where its crucial to really open my mind and try to change, especially when its counter intuitive.

Take some personal responsibility and accountability is my take.

Dm:

Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager

The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.

HOS:

Hours Of Service

HOS refers to the logbook hours of service regulations.
