And this is how we learn. Good job driver for helping the rookie driver out. Good that the other driver didn't give him an easy pass by pulling ahead. If these mega companies don't want to teach them properly, then we will. To the new driver I say this. If your in a jam don't be afraid to ask us for help. We won't make it easy on you but we will help. That's how you learn.

With driving school for the regular car we once ended up in a parking lot where someone was reverse parking their car and was having trouble doing it. I will never ever forget my driving instructor after the person made it into the spot safely, but just took a little longer (which still wasn't anywhere near as long as it might feel to some people by having him say "Did someone get hurt? Where there any damages caused? No? Did we arrive safely were we needed to be? Yes? Just accept not everyone is as good as doing some things in a car, but that if you take your time and give someone some space, you'll both be fine."

I graduated from school in October 2018, Got my first job March 2019 because I wanted a local job and found a desperate company. My first day went like this, Here's the key to the truck and here is the address you will be making a delivery to, see you when you get back. This guy went out on the road with a trainer to be working with Swift. And I in no way was as bad as this guy is. So one of two things, he is on drugs or he slept through training. I blame the driver. I graduated top of my class because I paid attention and asked questions and asked for instruction over and over. Though they had a rule that while in the yard you didn't shift out of first or second gear (depending on which you started) I did and taught myself how to double clutch and down shift in the yard before we went out on the road. I started in second and went to third and back to second.

Good deal driver! Instead of filming and walking away, you stuck around and helped to the end. I remember one of my rookie mistakes with PAM Transport. Hell, occasionally have one every now and then. Was backing into a DHL staging area in Louisville KY, damned tight lot, and was so concerned with not taking the nose off the driver on my sight side, I failed to watch my space on the blind side. Needless to say I rubbed trailers with the ol' boy on the blind side. The second I felt resistance, I stopped, popped the brakes, did some cussing, jumped out and went to talk with the driver. Ol' boy was laughing himself silly, looked at me and said "Damnit son, thought I was getting loaded. I'll give you credit though, you didn't keep trying to push into the space." I apologized profusely, but he waved it off, told me "Hell, we were all new at one point." Told me to pull up, straighten out, and slide in, all the while he guided me, giving me tips and tricks to use. Didn't do any damage except a scratch along the edge of the frame rail. He laughed it off, said "Don't worry about it, at least you didn't hit my truck." Shook his hand and stood out there jaw jackin. I had ordered a pizza before getting there and when they delivered it, sat there and split it with him as a small token of my gratitude. If there's anything I learned from the older hands, it's this: We were all new at some point. I whole heatedly agree that the mega carriers are pushing drivers through training way to fast. Best learning experience you'll ever get out here, is being out here.

It's called a new driver who saw what he thought was an easy spot, and then completely misjudged the room he needed to swing his trailer around.... It's an experience and judgement thing.... You have to do it to know how to do it, but it's a fact that the way they (barely) train these guys, many of them sadly end up like this... On drugs? Can't rule it out, TBH...

AnotherDeadDisciple, yeah, the trainees get 6 weeks of nothing but parking. Sometimes, the driver just doesnt have the physical attributes needed to effectively, timely and safely park 70 ft of truck. You only get 1 or 2 booboo before Swift puts you out on the street. You gotta get it right!! And yes, it's a constant situational awareness battle.

@@carnissan6728 yes, but I honestly wonder if this was one of the guys whose "trainer" was a certified SuperTrucker with a whopping 6-9 months of solo time himself...... Just one more thing I can't stand about these mega carriers. They wanna "train" folks, but they also don't want to pay a veteran driver what it would take for them to actually take a job training said drivers, so they resort to a sea of asshole FNG's, most of whom do not have the requisite experience to legimitately be able to "train" anyone properly.... Not picking on new drivers, BTW. Everybody's got to start somewhere, but it's the companies who do this shit that fail their new drivers, and that subsequently makes things harder and more dangerous for the rest of us.....

But for a company to send somebody out in the open just to defend for themselves it's unprofessional never send anybody when they're quite not ready. But I do take my hat off to the gentleman that did his best to help and guide a trucker in need
@mikemotorbike42835 жыл бұрын
when u have a son, you help him succeed by showing empathy. This teaches camaraderie in trucking. Some drivers are young, and new, like sons, and the country needs all the sons in trucking we can get right now. the other driver should've moved forward. It's a dad thing. Some drivers don't have sons. They are competitive. They laugh at another struggling. this is insecure, hyper-masculine behaviour. My black yard co-worker, observing truckers, laughs and confides, "They think everything they believe in is out to attack them." We are brought up with male privilege.We are given responsibility and must protect our load. We serve in this manner. But more importantly, we serve our greater good by protecting each other.

That being said, I've been in tight spots and I've always been fortunate enough to have the more learned drivers help out. I've met some real asshats too but more oft than not there's always someone willing to give you a hand if you need it. We're all on the same team, regardless of the company you work for.

When my mom was a rookie (for USA Truck not Swift), she could actually back perfectly and quickly at truck stops yet she had guys laughing at her or turning their cab light on to observe her, the perks of being a female trucker. When they saw that she has no problem backing they'd just leave, oh and it was mainly younger black guys. They never help you. Swift has their own training school i believe, lack of quality training and they give ppl a CDL like its cookies. Its all about geometry and physics. This guy obviously wasnt even taught the basics, but I like the attitude of the guy filming because hes calm and not a bully to indulge in poking fun at Swift. Some insecure drivers derive joy from seeing others fail, its an ego boost.
