This one sounds like a real winner - a flatbedder? Jeez, they are about the most testosterone poisoned truck drivers out there.<BR/><BR/>I feel for ya - I didn't have much in common with my trainer (also male, but a van driver at least) either. After I was on my own I found out that he had his truck, trailer and HV (high value) load stolen...he will never drive again. So very sanctimonious as he raked in the dough that I made for him. We drove team for almost 5 weeks - and he spent almost 10 days at home during that time. I had a friend in the Seattle area, though so didn't have to stay at the sorry motel that Werner stuck me in.<BR/><BR/>Hang in there - it will be worth it.Decorinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01500494592414546840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7853376300065204951.post-71018859831653278962008-07-13T11:28:00.000-07:002008-07-13T11:28:00.000-07:00Heh, I'm with you on "hangry."

What's been happening is that I'll snack on small things I have in the truck for half the day, then finally ask my trainer if we can stop for real food, then wait a few hours till he actually does that, and by the time I have access to real food I'm so ravenous that I eat too much and feel like crap. Goddamn I can't wait until I have my own truck so I can make my own decisions about meals and showers and stuff.Gypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07053772128106286180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7853376300065204951.post-90461558937199375112008-07-13T08:50:00.000-07:002008-07-13T08:50:00.000-07:00I'm with you on that flatbedding business, too muc...I'm with you on that flatbedding business, too much extra work for not enough extra pay (although I'll probably get flamed for that opinion!). Got to have my meals too, I try to eat something every 3 hrs otherwise I get "hangry" (hungry and angry) and it's just not good for your system to go that long without eating. Crossing my fingers that your next trainer is better.<BR/><BR/>GabAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17995531499767216763noreply@blogger.com
