OK, so what's your solution, then?

Not sure what are you asking

 

If you are asking how to not be a steering wheel holder, talk to the
DINO SOARS and the old timers and learn from them, Master the operation of using a clutch and shifting without it, and spend some time in a truck that doesn't hold your hand and do everything for you.

That's a good start.

 

It's ok the way it is now. Some of the old timer drivers are just as dangerous and the new ones.
"How many commercial drivers are in the US?
There are approximately 3.5 million professional truck drivers in the United States, according to estimates by the American Trucking Association."
Now, considering there are approx. 3.45 million professional truck drivers in the USA; the record is pretty good, in my opinion. With that many drivers, there's just no way to weed out a few nut cases.

 

Get rid of government subsidies for CDL training. Too much profit from just minimal "training".

 

Ideally, the old timers would train the apprentices. This would prevent 6 month wonders from training. But why should the real professionals take the pay cut to train some of the losers the megas dredge up?

 

You not a steering wheel holder your a truck driver ! Just not a lot of experience. I went the mega carrier and got my CDL from their school. You could give them and crazy question about driving and they had the answer. They could not teach someone how to drive if they can't drive a car. They can teach you how to handle a truck and drive around corners or in the snow.

 

I have 0 planned improvements to the system. Your life is your problem no one elses. My system works great , my life. Other people living there lives is called Freedom.

 

It's my problem when someone drags their trailer across my hood because they could even be bothered to pay attention to where their trailer is...
