Who is training the trainers?

Some people are too stupid to realize that you are actually trying to help them.

 

From the book of Matthew

 

the criteria for being a trainer is mostly like 6 months employed and accident free

1. having a pulse
2. having not screwed up anything...major...yet...

the lower the common denominator gets in entrance astuteness the more technological safety measures are implemented, which lowers the astuteness requirement for new entrants as well as begins to tie the hands of the experienced, which further lowers the common denominator for entrance astuteness, which requires further technological safety measures to be implemented...

couple more decades and it will be the 'driver' wheels it from truck stop to freeway entrance ramp, in a bubble cab with a touch screen button that says "begin transit solution"...'driver' sits there and monitors youtube until it's time to exit and put more diesel in it.

 

i can never figure out how the blind are so adept at grabbing hold of others presently occupied. GIVE ME YOUR EYES

 

Entry-level driving training rule delayed two years by FMCSA

Well in two years we will know who is training who.

 

regulation on company trainer qualification criteria would put such a world of hurt on companies from top to bottom, like 50% more workload in daily dealings. They don't need to regulate company training programs though, they need to focus on regulating it at the CDL schools, catch the dangerous bs before you give it a commercial driver's licence

 

Whether it be a company program or independent school, all have declined. What used to be an actual school, 8hrs a day in the classroom for months, has turned into a 24-72 hour program aimed at providing just enough info to pass the test. This is all part of my non-stop quest to see driving become labeled a "skilled" profession by the Dept. of Labor. A real training program, like apprentice school, is where the weed-out process should begin. A real training program should produce ready-to-work labor. A company trainer should really only be about a week on the road to teach a new employee the ropes and paperwork for that particular company. A company trainer shouldn't be teaching someone how to drive.

If we were classified as skilled labor, we could produce a little thing called...standards. Imagine that.

 

They #### sure do need to company training programs. All the big companies hire anything with a pulse. They get them a cdl and turn them loose.

 

I’ll never forget one morning when I was sitting in the drivers seat rubbing the sleep out of my eyes a guy across from me threw out two gallon jugs of urine then walk past the garbage cans to go into the building . The angry driver next to him got out grabbed the jugs and must’ve noticed the door unlocked because he took lids off the jugs and threw them in the cab. I was laughing my butt off when the other driver came to his truck.

 

That's a company CDL school... Little different from a company training program that only deals with previously licenced CDL holders.
