Contact the company immediately. All this guy is doing is teaching you how to fail and his license needs to be pulled. If he insists you do your logbook like his..........dont.

Uhhh, you're not dropping a dime or ratting anyone out. You're protecting your future and life!! A "jerkoff" like that could get you both killed. I suggest a new trainer, and even possibly a new company. As one other poster said...the company is probably aware of the bs...and is doing a "wink and nod" as far as safety goes.... IF this is the case...run like hell. Your life and future is at stake.

CYA!! and that does not mean C-Ya!!

i dont think the company knows. they seem to be very strict on the logs if you have bad audits they will put you through a day long class first then let you go if you dont clean it up. i dont know how this guy gets away with it but i was with him for 5 days and i know he's playing the game and he might get burned.

If they don't know it is only because they don't want to know.
Change companies. The fact that they made this jerkoff a "trainer" says a whole lot about them.........

Man, there are a whole lot of innocent people you just might save by getting this guy off the road, at the very least some type of disciplinary action againt him.Tell your mananger and if they refuse to take action, take notes and get the hell out of there.

The company might not know that this "trainer" is operating this way. A lot of times newbs are afraid to be "whistleblowers" for fear of getting canned because they think that a trainer is somehow responsible for their future employment. A trainer has ZERO impact if a trainee gets hired after the training period, its up to the company. Also these rogue trainers will (although not directly) make it clear that they do have a say in the future of the trainee's employment.

Dont get bullied by a trainer, report him immediately.

Good for you Beng for taking a stand. I hope they take into consideration that you could take alot of b.s. for coming forward and not just take his side because he's the trainer. Cudos
