It is getting harder and harder to stop at a wifi truck stop with some time on my hands. I have about 20 hours left on my training. Then the way things should work and the way they will work is going to differ. I should be routed to my home terminal and get a truck of my own. My Student Driver Manager told me there are no trucks available now and they want me to do an extra 40 to 50 hours with my trainer. The reason for keeping a student on the training truck as long as possible is that it is very profitable for the company. During training they pay you very little. They try to get as many long haul, trips your way as possible. That way you and your trainer can run 11 hours each and really make the company a lot of money. Now I'm all for a company making a lot of money. I just don't want them to do it by taking out of my pocket!
Well enough said. I'll let you know when the next phase of the trucking life begins.

Twenty hours more to go on training...wow I was expecting closer to 100. I hate what the truck line is doing to you. Did your partner say that anything like this might happen?????? I sure understand your bosses position...too bad Son of Trucker is on management side or he might be able to help you out :-)
Sorry about the flat. Still want to know how you got to Spartanburg...but do apreciate that you answered some of the questions. I guess we will know something when you do.....since I think this one will post I am cramming a lot into one comment...don't want to have to register again to post. Not sure but think it might have something to do with time between posting. I really thought when I registered to be a follower that it would work and it did for a few weeks ...but it ain't any more!!!
