24 hour driver training

Ya that's who I want to share the road with....a 1 day course and few laps around the farm.....have at it driver.

 

It happens everyday already.

Why spend money that you don't have to in order to "buy" a job.

Driving schools don't teach you much these days. It could very well be that this guy has more time behind the wheel already than any driving school will give him.

Do you think the companies looking for drivers in third world countries care about who you share the road with, not likely.

 

No one is a professional. Were all just drivers. Some better than the other some worse than the other. All just trying to make a living. I would think twice about trying to make a decent living driving a truck. It's not glamorous and when starting out the pay usually sucks. Either way best of luck .

 

I know nothing about a 24 hr course but I can say those who work on the farm can be pretty darn good with a knowledge some havent yet obtained

 

Agree 100%

 

. Personally I think farm experience teaches a lot about how to operate equipment properly. I'd rather share the road with someone drove a little on the farm than someone who spent a week in a classroom he's more likely to have common sense

 

Sorry....but prefer the old informal apprentice system that was in place years ago....when you started with little experience they would put you in a straight truck for a few months, then a single axle with a pup for a year or so....move you up bigger as time went on....keep you in the city ( lots of backing exp.) You were a good 3-5 yrs before you would get on the big road....by that time you could deal with the stuff that happens.

But I guess what you sow....you reap. A 1 or 2 week course, they throw you a set of keys and tell you to call when you get to Vancouver.

Yes....but you have a warm arse in the seat...success.

 

Essentially how I got my experience. Started in 5 tons then gravel hauler straight trucks then big rigs. Worked great!! Still learning!

As for the OP. I also believe the majority of farm workers are some of the best out there. Hard worker, quick learner!! Got no other choices but them two!

 

That's it. I've had it with you people. I'm leaving for the hairstylist forums !






You have to admit Grimm makes a hellava point !!
