Paid as a team? And run as a team? INDEED???THAT'S NOT TRAINING!!!!

And, what rock were you hiding under when we went through this on another thread?????? :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

 

I remember an incident in my training. It's 5 p.m. and I've driven 500 miles, which began at 6 a.m.

"Aren't I outta hours?" I ask the trainer.

"No, you've still got a hundred miles left," he says.

"But what about getting stopped at a scale?" I ask.

"Look, you just tell 'em you drive by the mile," trainer says. "They'll know what you mean."


All I can say is once the training's done, it's done. Preferably safely and with no trouble. Make wise choices, legal ones.

 

AND YOU HAVE JUST PROVEN THAT YOU WILLINGLY FALSIFIED YOUR LOGBOOKS!!! Now we'll see how ethical and honest CRE is.....because if they follow the "spirit of the law" and the code of the law....they are required to turn you into the USDOT/FHWA and report your wrongdoing and their afteractions....

Right about now....you should be feeling much like one of those idiots who thought he could "choke himself just alittle before he ....." but failed and found himself dangling at the end of the rope.....

Your only recourse was when it began.... YOU SHOULD HAVE JUST SAID "NO!!" RIGHT THEN AND REFUSED TO BE HIS BITCH FOR $$ and then turned the "schmuck" in and gotten off his truck.

That 4 others of your "compadre's" were "in love" with their trainers is immaterial...because you have no idea if they are actually telling the truth or blowing smoke at you.....and doing just what some sorry assed trainer like yours tells them to do...

You were warned, but the rest of us were stupid..... Now its you who has come back here to tell us just how bad you got screwed over...... And here's a kicker.....you probably think that CRE and the owners haven't a clue about what goes on in their trucks....right???? If you do....you deserve a t-shirt with this on the front and back:

 

I hope this statement is not condoning what some of these so called trainers are doing. You don't finish training and "then" make wise choices. You should be making wise choices even while training. That log book is yours. YOU are responsible for every mark in it. There is no trainer or company that will hold a gun to your head and say drive or else. It is YOUR decision and it will be YOUR ticket if stopped and YOUR CDL that is impacted by YOUR choices. Yes even in training. Now I do wish that the laws could be changed so that the Trainer is totally responsible. Then we would start seeing real trainers that would do it right.

 

No, sir!!!! I do not condone the practice. You are correct that choices begin during training, and that at all times we are responsible for the choices made.

I will add that I feel badly for trainees that haven't been prepared in advance, that don't know already how to log, what their options are to object, how to do so. As far as log training goes, from what I understand, CDL training schools often brush through it, at best. Some companies teach it as part of orientation, though.

Other than the way my trainer interpreted HOS and logging, he was decent enough. I learned a lot that I didn't know, got a chance to hone rusty skills, and enjoyed myself mostly. I made some choices to go along with limited showers, meals, etc--keeping up, not being a pain. I carried some food with me, and things really didn't bother me. Lots of years in the military, overseas, made things a lot easier.

There are a few companies that pay trainers salaries so the incentive to 'team' is limited. Those companies also intentionally limit miles, too. Not the case for other companies.

 

The problem here is that he has most likely screwed himself but good by sending in two differing sets of log books.

Now, although I have razzed him quite a bit, I do not doubt the truthfulness of his story about his trainer. Unfortunately, by reacting the way he did, and by not accepting the advice and counsel of others, "That Bastard Trainer" is going to come out on top, and CRE will be within their rights in slamming his DAC report but good.

Children who play with poisonous snakes tend to get bit.

On second thought, CANCEL that last remark!!

Since I have never PERSONALLY played with poisonous snakes, what gives me THE AUTHORITY to judge what they will do???

 

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

How does CRE continue to get suckers to drive for them? :roll:

 

Well....if you spend enough money on advertising, and make it glitzy enough, then some of the "less intellectually inclined" will be eventually drawn to the shiny objects much like moths to a flame....and like the moth, they too will get burned......

I could be wrong....but some how... I think I might just be right.
