[QUOTE="PPH_over_9000, post: 4671598, member: 79761"] A series of videos to watch for 6 months? What, the 20-minute safety meeting followed by a 30-minute rookie PCM every morning isn't good enough? I'm not sure what exactly happened in your case (sounds like a rollaway but idk)... but I can say I've :censored:ed up multiple times and my management team addresses the :censored: ups and tells me what I need to do to correct them, and then they let me take a truck out again the next day. I've been around for a while, though, so I may've gotten on some higher-up somewhere's good side, and that probably makes a huge difference. I also know for a fact that my local's got my back, precisely because they've saved my ass before. I feel like you may've rubbed someone the wrong way and they decided they didn't want to give you a second chance (or maybe you were on your 3rd or 4th chance without even knowing it.) Either way, though, it's been my experience that they want us to succeed. They bend over backwards in my center to give the rookies leeway to learn the ins and outs of the job, and they give us multiple chances to prove that we're consistently progressing. Related to my original post: So I finally had my ride-along today. It kind of blindsided me because they've had me running routes and chase cars ever since my accident. I stumbled through the 10-point commentary and they still told me I did a good job, but to review the DOK because I'll probably get quizzed on it again some time in the near future. Other than that everything was cool.... so yeah, 11.19, like I said, I'm not 100% clear on your situation but everything posted in this thread makes it kind of sound like a case of making your own bed and being forced to lie in it. Integrad is okay, but they definitely don't teach you even half of the things you need to know. When you first start you have to be a little more proactive about learning the job, because they're definitely not gonna hold your hand and spoon-feed you everything you need to know. You have to elicit advice from senior drivers and your supervisors, because management's not gonna chase you down unless you've :censored:ed up in a major way. Other than that they'll let you coast just to see what you're made of. [/QUOTE]
