Training is going awful.
I won’t say the company’s name but I got my CDL and started at a company about 2 months ago. I first I was super enthusiastic and excited to start a career in truck driving but the training has been a nightmare. My company requires 240 hours before they give you a truck. I’ve have 2 trainers so far, the first trainer was a complete Ahole, he was constantly negative and disrespectful to the point I had to ask for a new trainer. My second trainer I got along with despite his truck being extremely messy and him constantly yelling on the phone at his wife. The plan was to just get through my hours and get back to the yard to graduate, then he randomly woke me up one morning and said I had to get my stuff and get off the truck because he had take home time. After being stranded in a random city and being almost robbed at a greyhound stop at 10 o’clock at night my company got me back to the yard then told me if things don’t work out with my 3rd trainer they’ll let me go. Even though it was my fault I lost my second trainer. So basically if my 3rd trainer kicks me off the truck for any reason I’m done and now I have a worthless CDL because I have a termination on my DAC and I’m 6 grand in the hole for trucking for school. I’m so discouraged, I heard bad things about this company but I thought it would be a good foot in the door. I’ve worked so hard for this now it might all go down the drain. I only have 50 hours left but my new trainer didn’t sound very nice over the phone. Honestly I’ll put up with whatever he does but if he decides I’m done then that’s it. Now my whole career and everything I’ve worked for is in the hands of one stranger who I don’t even know.
