One of the biggest problems as you have people out here training new drivers that don’t even have enough experience to even teach anything there should be a mandatory minimum experience requirement to be a trainer in this business

I left the company I was with when they started switching to an entirely automatic fleet. You choose what kind of risk you're willing to accept. There are other jobs with other companies that don't make you take on that kind of risk.
I make 40% more than I did with that other company, have two weeks of paid vacation, work 5 on 2 off, then 5 on 3 off, and don't work OTR any more. The choice is yours.stillwurkin and Cattleman84 Thank this. -

If on heavily snow covered roads or twisting up and down hill back roads best to go to from auto to manual mode or you will be on your brakes constantly.
The trucks pictured in incident are just travelling too close together for road conditions.
