After we get on our trainer trucks for the 6 weeks(If we make it that far) can or does the trainer have the choice to say" Hey this student doesn't need 6 weeks _ weeks are plenty let em test out early?? I have my cdl and drove for 8 years but have been out of the seat for 4 years. I know i need to be refreshed but 6 weeks i am sure i won't need??? Just asking, tho i am willing to due 6 weeks if i have to.

Thanks in advance for ur time,

TJ

Being a trainer is ok. scared $@itless some times.
As for the 6 weeks out, everyone does it, no exceptions. Driving is one part but mastering e-logs, preserving your 70, learning the way FFE does things are what you are really taught.

not true spat i only had to do 2 weeks with a local trainer before i upgraded to solo

The policy has changed. 6 weeks out for everyone now.

and did you come in to the company with prior experience. people with certain amounts of experience only do the 2 week thing, usually with a local, instead of the 8 weeks.
