Question re Policy, Anyone?!?

Oh No Sir, Thank You, but No.
I recently put West Texas in my rearview mirror, and did not stop driving until I (literally) got to the East Coast. I am now in Wilmington, North Carolina. I was in the oil fields for eight long years, made great money, and fortunately, I was smart enough to bank it. Another year or two of driving, and I'm going to retire from driving. Driving is my second career. I went to a CDL school to get my license, then straight into the oil fields. I have hauled crude oil, operated a vacuum truck, a flatbed (yuch), gravity flow, and delivered chemicals to the well sites and pump jacks. I am familiar with most every lease between Midland and just west of Pecos, then North to New Mexico, South to I-10. I've lived in Crane, Pecos, and Monahans. Where I am sitting right now (smoking a cigar) I can feel the ocean breeze, the Cape fear River is 10 minutes away, and everything that they don't have in the West Texas area is right here. Thanks, but I'm done with the oil fields. However I do wish you all the best.

 

Epilogue: I am the OP who questioned whether I needed six weeks training OTR. My 8 years was limited to oil fields (home nightly) and Regional OTR (in a day cab sleeping at hotels.) I have been OTR for the last 2 weeks and have not encountered any significant difficulties. The transition was fairly easy. I'm still in the process of organizing my truck "my way." I don't want to come across as an "I told you so-ist" but six weeks of training was simply not necessary. All's well that ends well..... I am very happy in my new job..... and the company insisting on 6 weeks of forced team driving lost a potential new hire.

 

Point well taken.
