Default Trainer Left Trainee at a truck stop?

I was at a truck stop and there was a guy with his bag with him... It looked like he had the worried and some tears in his eyes. I asked if he was ok... He said he was left there by his trainer. So I helped him get a cab to take him to the bus station.... Has anyone ever heard of such a thing??? Is this why everyone is worried about going with a trainer.. I am not going to disclose the company this happend with... I just wanted to through it out there. Make sure you bring money to get home!!!

A trainer putting a student out at a truck-stop is plain wrong. If you and your student can't get along, you should contact the company and make proper arrangements.

To all of the new students out there, you should always carry some extra $$ with you when going through orientation and training, because you never know what might happen.

You should disclose what company it was so noobs will know to stay away.
Doesn't matter if they got along or not, it shouldn't have happened.

its only ok if arrangements were made prior to being left at a sht hole truckstop to get to a terminal or a bus home.
and yes penny it happens every day.
just imagine the ones you never hear about.
And that fellow has abandoned the truck or at least thats what the trainer will say. I see dac problems in his future.

One of several things happened.

1) It didn't really happen. The guy got out of the truck and wanted to go home. And need some money to get home. Or make some cash for something else.

2) It was a scam from the get go. No trainer/ no student just a way to get some cash.

3) Didn't the student didn't know enough to call the company and findout what the company wanted him to do. No company is going to allow a trainer to dump a student without making some kind of arangements. Can we all say Hello Lawsuit.

4) This is another one of these legions.

5) Why would you NOT give the company's name? If you are really concerned about your fellow drivers a company such as this should be told by you.

I do agree -- Have money or at least a credit card.

You really need to state the company. You're doing no one any favors by not disclosing the company. BOL
