Everybody learns at different paces but none of these companies could care less.they have a policy and sticks to that.now I'm hearing all you need is four months exp to train someone said crengland hires at three months,no drivers are even close to being ready to train.but because it's now the carriers policy they re good to go no matter what.wonder what it takes to demote a trainer back to driver status,maybe hitting five low bridges,doing a few illegal uturns hitting trks while trying to back at the receiver.I can go on and on but u get the picture.
A question?

The idea of a trainer trying to teach someone how to drive really is stupid, the guy already has a license, he is legal to drive but one thing I learned interviewing a lot of these people is they can't teach common sense or a truck sense of how to drive.
When I was doing the dedicated route thing, I had a customer who had one dock and I was hauling chemicals for their production. It seemed that Werner had one driver who was also on a dedicated route and he was a 'trainer'. I have had several times sit a while when a driver and this "trainer" tried to back a truck up in a dock I needed to get into. One time it was 45 minutes of sitting there watching back and forth, back and forth, this was a simple straight shot with so much room you could back an aircraft carrier into the dock. -
