CGeorge Posted April 5, 2013 Share #311 Posted April 5, 2013 My condolences to whoever was in the middle of training yesterday and clipped their mirror on a truck on 3rd Ave around 14th. Tough break, supervisor did not look impressed. Ouch!!!!! That's going to leave a mark. definitely not good but i found most instructors are forgiving. the student will definitely do day 10. On our first day of line training one girl rear ended another bus. she was sent for drug test ASAP. remember, SLOW DOWN. no one's rushing you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
