What is his position after training?
Just a regular driver
I'm a little confused, (easy to do lately, just ask my wife). This guy is the best driver this owner has, uses him as trainer, but has never met him....
Thanks for the suggestions I think I'm gonna follow most of yalls advice and just night my lip. The owner thinks this guy is God's gift to expediting and if I as the new guy try and tell him otherwise it wont look good for me. That being said today was a better day so hopefully I can get through this fast!Sounds like the owner just wants a team truck for a while until your brother is ready. In your case, 3 weeks seems a little over kill. But I'm guessing it's more of the owner wanting to maximize the in between time. As far as the 3 weeks with the co-driver. I'd suck it up. It will go by fast. I did 3 months with a co-driver I hated and treated me like crap. I eventually had it out with him, in a professional way of course, confronting him with the issues. The situation did improve, but the damage had been done to continue in this situation. Maybe talk to the owner about it, or just bite your tongue for a few more weeks
Their only relationship is over the phone it's easy to form a positive opinion of someone if you've never had to spend any time with them. That's being said I'm the new guy so if I try and tell the owner that he may be a little mistaken then it will probably backfire on me. So I will just bite my lip and grin Nd bear it!
I agree. No reason to have to put up with such treatment. If the fleet owner condones such activity, I would certainly question whether or not I would want to work for such an owner. Actually, no I wouldn't question it, I wouldn't be working for that fleet owner.
